Is the weave tight enough to block most bugs, any estimate on the weave opening size? I especially want to keep out baby pygmy rattlesnakes.

my first suggestion for you is to move immediately! As for this mesh it is tight like a screen. If anchored reasonably taught and embedded in the dirt consistently across the bottom, I se no reaso it wouldnt keep out snakes. I do not however know the strength or diameter of such reptiles as "babies" and I assume if they are persistent enough they might be able to nose though the fabric's weave. My suggestion is to double up the fabric, pull it taught and bury the bottom a few inches in the ground. Good luck.

I love this fence! Have it around the pool. It's got a tight weave, but it has grommets on the bottom, so not use if it would keep pests out.

it is a very tight weave, but it dose not cover from bottom of fence to ground. It is like 20% translucent. Blocks 80-90% of vision so dog does not go crazy everytime neighbors dog comes outside.

I'm not sure if it would do the trick of keeping them out but I am not pleased with it as it did Not provide much privacy at all...especially when the sun is shining

It is tightly woven, nothing goes thru it. It is holding up really good , the first winter season in Ohio. One of my better buys from amazon.

I'm intrigued by the idea of a net over my bike helmet. When I slow going up hills or at intersections in the spring, bugs come through the slots of my helmet and I can't hit or scratch them as they enjoy themselves biting my head. Stopping and removing the helmet takes time and lets more bugs catch up. I think I'll try it and see if the air is too restricted. Great brainstorm! Thanks!

The holes are less than 1/4" in diameter, probably more like 1/8". I guess a really small caterpillar could find its way out of there, but we have had numerous bugs, little snakes even, in there and so far nothing had escaped out of it. It's a pretty cool little bug box, that's lasted a long time now and our 5 year old loves it.

I was using these for bow hunting so I kept the mesh out of one window and kept everything else closed. You can either unzip the larger window section or just the little section with the mesh open, with or without the mesh. Last year I had several deer come within feet and the only time I spooked them was when I had two windows open and too much light was coming in. When gun season came around they didn't know I was there... they didn't have a chance to get close enough.

There is small amount of room around the drizzler handle. Not sure if enough room or not for Asian beetles or not but could place an o-ring or rubber band around handle to act as a sort of seal if u have bug problems. (Only a suggestion) best of luck

I just got mine in and they are not that big. I have a Grand Trunk single with an ENO Guardian bug net and bought this to go over them both to make it fast to set up. There is just barley enough room for this combo to fit these skins. Granted, the bug net is one that fully surrounds a hammock and is pretty big. It was really pushing the limit.

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.

Hi Jack,We've had great luck with these. Not only does it keep away the mosquitoes but it also keeps away the 'smaller and harder to see' bugs.

I would say the weave is pretty tight but also pretty thin. To me I would say these sleeves are the thickness of a dry fit t-shirt my 7th grade son uses them to protect his elbows and knees from rug burns he was getting from artificial turf he is playing football on, they have been great for that but I don't know if they are thick enough or would stand up to what you are talking about

Yes, definitely. Not even a mosquito or ant can fit through the mesh holes...they are truly minute. The only entry point is the zippered entrance OR if there is a tear somewhere. The mesh is pretty tight.

If you cut the bottom to fit your door frame it will keep majority of the bugs out, but there isn't anything sealing it to the bottom since you need the flaps to be able to move when you go in and out of the screen. I would still highly recommend this product, it's kept bugs out, allows our dog to go in and out of the house and is made of great quality.

I keep the entire tent closed, the bottom and top are zipped to allow nothing to crawl in. Hope that was helpful for you.

The short answer is yes. The long answer is No matter what, you're going to have to open something to get in to it, and the potential for bugs to get in will exist. That being said, I have visible swarms of Mosquitos at my house, and they do not get inside from our quick zips in and out. Our 75lb dog likes to "let" herself out as well by crawling under the zipper, which invariably opens it up a bit, and even then I've never noticed an increased bug count. This thing is great, can't reccomend it highly enough!

I don't know. I have only squirls and chipmonks in addition tpo spiders and it keeps them out.

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.

I use my net to cover my blackberry bushes, it has small holes but I don't know if it would keep mosquitoes out.

Hi! The cover goes around the closet and rippers from the bottom to the top with a top flap, but bugs can go under the bottom rack and get inside. I don't have problems with moths/bugs. When you think about it, if you open a closet door there's a chance that one could get inside. It's a chance you take. I love this closet because at least it closes all around and very sturdy and that the bottom rack is open so that your clothes could still be airy and not sweat. If your worried about moths/bugs then put a unscented bug repellant that you can hang inside the closet. I know you didn't want all the other information, but it's a beautiful and sturdy closet that I bought two and NO bugs. Good luck! Hi!
