Are thread counts small enough to prevent mosquitoes and bugs if used to enclosed a patio?

the only way small baby mosquitos would get past this is if you did a shoddy job at enclosing your space. definitely need to overlap and sew the overlaps together.

More or less. We saw a slight reduction in them. Also catches lots of small flying insects. We leave it running 24/7 in our small backyard during mosquito season.

Yes, the Ali Gazebo has holes that you can use to secure it, and it came with mosquito netting.

no for mosquito screen, this is a sun screen material, the weave though not widely spaced would still allow our small Florida bugs access, I purchased 100 ft roll of the green several years ago along with their lobster fasteners, I love this stuff, air flow is great, significant reduction in heat transfer, especially in the Florida sun. if it ever wears out , I will replace , love it. currently it covers the entire west side porch on the front of my house.

Donna, I think it would work fine to keep butterflies out since the mesh is 1/4". If you anchored it securely to the ground, butterflies couldn't get in.

Yes, we use them on the patio in the evening to keep the bugs from getting in our wine. Will hold on anything with a smooth edge whether it be metal or glass. Cannot touch another object close to it or may break the seal. I love the small ones for cups and glasses.

The fan does make some noise, but they really are designed to work inside. They are not weather proof. I keep one in the garage and one in the arctic entry so that when the lights are off in those rooms they catch any mosquito that got into those rooms. Our house stays pretty much mosquito free despite the clouds of them outside. The ones left in the arctic entry or garage typically do not survive to bite you later. This item would not be useful on a patio. It is a trap with a small light as the attractant and not a bug zapper. Depending how the bugs are this year I may need another one for the downstairs entry.

oh, yes, in fact we use that way many times. The mosquito curtain is a quick addition or subtraction.

This will zip so tight that air will not get in or out. So I would say it would work for bugs too

Didn't think about mosquitos, but i don't see why it wouldn't work if it's in a confined space like a carport or semi enclosed patio. I know that it works well with spiders.

I don't know ......the mesh netting is small holes, but I have no idea how small of a hole a mosquitoe can fit through.........never thought of it really

The 17/14 will prevent mosquitos but if you have n0-see-ums in your area you probably want a finer mesh. To stop them from coming through the spaces between floor boards you can use an outdoor carpet. You can also cover the areas where the bugs can get in from the bottom such as using more screen or boarding over the entire area underneath the deck. Wood will not last too long in this position if water gets in. Another problem is any debris that falls through the gaps will be stuck on the new barrier.

Yes, I have it on the front porch, by the door (contrary to the directions). There is a roof, but rain can blow in. It is rather sensitive & the fan will stop if a big bug, etc. gets stuck. So, you have to check it often. I've been amazed at how many mosquitos it traps.

I am not sure. We are using it as a privacy screen. It seems to have a tight mesh but as we have not used it specifically for mosquito protection, I cannot honestly recommend it for that purpose.

This is intended for outdoor use. Mosquitoes indoors is a whole 'nuther problem.

You can try this company, https://www.mosquitocurtains.com/, which sells mosquito net curtains. Worth a look to see if it'll work.

My patio is covered ... and it works fine. In fact, having a cover limits the paths birds can use to get in, and it might work better.
