beth0b 0 #1 Posted September 3, 2020 I am looking to purchase mesh netting - not for manufacturing my own pilot chutes, but to use as mosquito/no-see-um netting. My Vector pilot chute mesh is just the material I am looking for... does anyone know where container companies, specifically UPT, gets their raw materials? Or does any have any info - anything more than what Google can tell me? Thanks in advance Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

sfzombie13 317 #4 September 4, 2020 (edited) now you got me interested. i found this site, doesn't say marquisette, but you can buy a swatch for a dollar and it is cheaper than $6 a yard. talk about a rabbit hole. thanx for the distraction guys.

Probably more, you might give them a call. Jerry Baumchen Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Jerry Baumchen I second RockyWoods and buy lots of materials from them. But I am not sure they have the PC style Marquissette (I order mine else where). They definitely carry No See Um Mesh though.

dpreguy 14 #10 September 6, 2020 Keep in mind that - in general- if you are inside and trying to look outwards, a bright white mosquito netting makes it hard to look through. Even more so if there is a light source from the inside. Better to go with a black, dark gray or od (olive drab) netting color. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
