    Sewing netting to Noah's tarp

    Hey everyone,

    I have decided to try my hand and creating my own enclosure for hammock camping. I would like to find the best way to sew bug netting directly to a Noah's tarp 16. I have the plan on how the enclosure will operate I just need some help with finding the best way to sew the netting to the tarp and have the seems be strong and for the most part waterproof. Any suggestions on this would be greatly appreciated! Thanks everyone!

    sew the netting/mesh on the edges like the Nemo BUg Out Tarp.
    How are you setting it up? Rectangle A-frame format? If so, then you could in theory make it like a wall tent; two relative short sides on the long sides, and a couple pentagons on the ends with zippers for door entrance/hammock suspensions.

    That is exactly how I plan on doing it. I am going to do full size squares on the open ends though. The reason I am going to do full squares is because when the suspension lines go through it I want it to have a lot of play in the mesh so the holes that the lines run through don't open up when the lines flex and move around.
