    Locale: Changes Often

    Binder clips also work well to attach noseeum to an opening, like when you have a Solomid or Deschutes with perimeter netting and you have to have the door closed for insect protection. Well that can be a bummer in good weather. Perhaps you’d like to look outside or you might want more airflow. Same with flat tarp pitches that are pegged directly to the ground. Just clip the netting onto the opening.

    The clips certainly aren’t as solid as a zip on vestibule or velcro with clips, but it’s good up to about 15 mph. Questoutfitters offers the best selection of one way # 3 YKK separating zippers I know of. If you have a zipper foot for your machine, you can do it.

    Oh yea, I’m in Floyds Knobs….at least for this month.

    Here’s with some noseeum attached to a silnylon hem.
