    I’m making an inner net from .5 noseeum mesh purchased from RBTR. My plan is to utilize the traditional inverted “T” shape. I could use some recommendations regarding the best zipper for this type of application. Weight is my primary consideration.

    Also, where is the best place to purchase?

    Thanks in advance,

    Dan

    Jerry is totally right. I haven’t found anyone else who can beat RSBTR for #3 YKK coil by the foot. However, if you want any kind of separating zipper, Questoutfitters is a good site to buy from. They also have a lot of other things Dutchware and RSBTR don’t have.  Shipping is higher though.

    I appreciate the qualified responses. Looks like plenty of experience in this area. I’ll give Oware an order tomorrow.

    Just in case you’ve not ordered yet, would suggest nylon over polyester netting, the curse of which is holes that develop.  There are lots of nylon nettings on the same suppliers noted above.
