Is this the finest mesh ? smallest so that gnat's and flying ants, flies can't get in/

The 17 x 20 tiny mesh super screen is the finer. I cannot tell if you are looking at the standard 17 x 14 mesh or tiny mesh 17 x 20.

No - it is a heavy-duty mesh. Long lasting that keeps out big bugs, but not the no see ums.

Solution: I went to http://www.mosquitocurtains.com, ordered netting tight enough to keep out no-see-ums and then adapted their rail system with moderate effort to hang the netting. They proposed the adaptation and I'm very happy with the result.

Never tried through the mesh. I always leave the mesh down when bow hunting.

I had no problems. Even if you leave a gap with the elastic, at worst I had a fly or two. Most was when I left the openings unzipped to go in and out. On damp ground at one camp ground I had a couple dozen crickets UNDER the tent when I took it down. They crunched when I walked on the tent floor, yuk! But unless I let them in, I did not wake up to any additional boarders.

Yes it is mesh. They say it aids in ventilation and reduces condensation which we found to be true. The rainfly seems to do the trick because we had a few nights that it rained and had no issues.

Don't know how small the flies are. But it even keeps all but the smallest nats off. It has a very tight weave, the holes in it are very very small.

We don't have alot of flies, so I can't really answer. It has really helped our flea problem.. You also need to know that there are different neomatoids for insects- you may want to call the company to see if another "species" is a better choice for your area and type of fly.

Hello, yes it appears to be so! The mesh is very fine and it allows good water circulation, but traps all of the bits quite well.

I wish I could help but my dogs haven't gotten thru the mesh yet. Good luck

I do not know--it is too fine to count--however I can tell you that nothing, nothing gets through! Material is also strong--used for months by my two boys, one of whom has an insect allergy--very, very nice. It is less a "netting" than a super fine, heavy duty veil. No mosquitos, blackflies, gnats/mingies, fleas...nothing gets through....We like these very much. Even the zipper end is super flush.

Thank you for the reply, but I was referring more to the mesh itself if it is fine enough to keep very tiny bugs out.

The netting is pretty fine and we have not had any issues. "No see - ems" are tiny, so I can't say for certain you would not have a problem. Any time you open the zipper or lift the net an irritating insect can get in. We really like this net - especially in white.

Yes. Holes are ver small. It keeps the fruit flies out. Just make sure you place something on the sides to keep it down.

It should keep away most small flies and bugs. There are no holes in the tent other then the entryway and I believe it zips up.

Indeed -that is quite correct .....on the one side, there are 3 zips which meet in the middle. "What's up with that" is.... (if you look closely at their picture) it shows that there are similar zips ON BOTH SIDES of the tent, with only the two ends being solid-net. The tent which arrived at my house has 3 sides of solid net, and only one side which opens. I hope that's a little clearer?!?! (3 zips on only 1 side) I'm not qualified to say for sure if the net is fine enough to keep out particular bugs as I'm not sure of their dimensions; but it is the same as another fly-net I have so I assume it's a standard gauge?.....looks to me like it will do the job just fine, but I can't guarantee anything! Hope this helps xxx

We just returned from another camping trip with the "Clam". As previous comments that were made, as long as you close the zippered door behind you each time, the bugs should be minimal. There is a flap at the bottom of each panel, including the door, that helps to keep bugs out as well. We are thrilled with the ease of set up! Also, we ordered the wind/privacy panels...they work very well. The mesh screening seems very sturdy and is fine enough to keep bugs out.
