Does anyone have a website or a store to buy the netting to make a mosquito net for a Hammock?
Greatly appreciated

Ripstop By The Roll and Dutch come to mind immediately. I'm not sure who else carries raw netting, but there are lots of vendors who will sell you a ready-to-use bug net. Check the Hammock Gear section of the Forums for a pretty comprehensive list.

Edit: Missed it by THAT much!

If you wanna save some money, you can also use Tulle from any fabric or crafts store. It's not as high quality, and its kind of a pain to sew, but I made my self a bugnet out of 8 yards of tulle that I bought for $3 total at Jo-anns fabric.

I used very sheer drapes for under $10 to make mine. About the same weight and sturdy because they are meant to handle cats climbing on them. Plus you can pick any colour that appeals to you.

I got a military surplus bug net from a store that was closing but the two vendors above who ship super fast are great. Walmart sheers are a “need it now “ option.

I bought "Lill" net curtains from Ikea for less than $10 and with very little sewing I got 2 nets. They are light, cheap and they keep just about everything out. The only downside is, they are white.

My net is made from Tulle. It’s cheap and super light, but not very durable.

Still, I like it, and you can get the fabric in 108” wide, so with only two seams, you can make your net.
