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

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.
