I have for some time tried do find a large version of a hammock mosquito net.

like this
http://www.ddhammocks.com/product/dd-bushmasters-hammock-mosquito-net

or
https://www.cadetdirect.com/order1.php?pg=847

I want a separate "module" ( not all in one hammock and net ), if it is made to small it defeats it's purpose….( I don't like bot flies or bats ;-)

Does anyone know where to find it in good quality ( or where to make it ) ?

Is the Warbonnet too small? http://www.warbonnetoutdoors.com/blackbird-traveler-accessories/

Sorry, just noticed how big the one in your link was … have never seen one that big before ….

I have a Sea-to-Summit mosquito box net that could work if you were creative to cover a pretty big hammock. Not sure if they make them anymore: http://www.backcountry.com/sea-to-summit-mosquito-box-net-shelter

I use bug socks made by Randy Smith (aka Papa Smurf), one made with Tulle (very delicate but my favorite to use because of the weight-2 oz) and another with heavier netting (5 oz). For $65 you can customize the length and depth so it was a no-brainer for me since I don't sew. He's great to work with also.

I recently made a "Fronkey" inspired bug net. I've tested it a few times and really love it. I got my bug/no-see-um netting from ZPacks and as far as I could find it's the lightest. The Zpacks fabric has a higher bolt width than any other netting, so following Fronkey's instructions, you can buy half the amount and fold the top seam over, which this guy did here:

Butt-In-A-Sling makes large nets. Does this work?:

This seems like what you're looking for. They make a version out of noseeum instead of just mosquito netting, too, if you prefer.
