Sandfly-Proof Tent Mesh

Wouldnt this be a better option to have when ordering a camper trailer ? Reading what you said, I'd sure have it replace the standard fry screen stuff they use. You never know where you may end up travelling. Ill check with some suppliers and see what they recomend.

2 Years ago I camped for one night at Shady camp. If I try to take the girlfriend camping there again I think I will be single.... This year we camped at Woolianna on the Daly. Nothing like Shady camp but we still ended up sleeping in sandfly-proof dome tents inside the main tent which is a pain..

I would dispute the air flow fact as neither my swag or camper gives me any such issue.
Mesh is fine enough that sand will gather in your swag so air flow isn't an obvious problem either.
Hope this helps

Hi nikki, does the fine mesh limit the air flow, or is this not a problem?

Hi Drew,
No the fine mesh has no effect on the air flow through the tent area, just a note though.... if you only have say 1 or 2 windows i advise to get another 1 or 2 put in as up the cape you want as much of that breeze to get in as possible..
David in the following post has something new and any thing that can protect you and your family from the bities of cape york is well worth a look...
Peace...

Forgot to mention, as far as ventilation, it is true, it does reduce ventilation but only marginally, regards, David.

David from A-TREK u also forgot to mention that the stresses and creases from folding "Finetex" when used in a ct or tent shortens its life severely to the point of being next to useless.

G'day Undertaker, thanks for the feedback, i'm not sure whether your thinking of a same product to what i had mentioned, i've been using 'Finetex' in my camper trailer hire fleet for many years, the campers get folded & unfolded well over 100 times a year, which is probably about 90% more than the average camper on his weekend jaunt to the bush or beach, they get folded & unfolded in all varying weather conditions, from snow to tropical heat, from rain to dust, salt spray on the beach, i've never had a window or door screen fail or look like failing, i do agree, there was a cheeper product that some suppliers were passing off as 'Finetex', it has a mat black finish, it used to crease up quite considerably, i did use this on a couple of hire trailers, but they were sold off a few years ago, i haven't used this mesh now for about 4 or 5 years, not that the mesh failed, i just didn't like the mat finish, the finetex i use has a gloss black finish & is very flexible yet very strong, if you contact me on the above email with your address, i'd be happy to send you a sample.
Regards, David.
