Mosquito net/Bug Screen by Waterline Design | Cover The companionway, Stays in Place with a Weight Band. Universal Size for sail- and motorboats (1460)

UPDATE for 2022: The Companionway Bug Screen after 3 summers of light use has fallen apart. The material used to wrap the weighted cord does not appear to hold up to UV. After a few weeks of sun exposure this summer it has started to come apart in multiple places making it unusable. A shame as I really like it but can't see buying another one only to have the same problem. I plan to buy some 2" wide Sunbrella Facing tape and sew a new cover over around the entire edge. I know that will last. Note that the hatch screens don't have the same material over the edge but simply wrap the netting over the cord. These appear to be holding up fine.Original review:These Waterline products popped up in my Amazon recommendations. The algorithm scored a direct hit. My mid 80's sailboat has no screens and I have been looking for a solution to keeping flying insects out for a while now. I am allergic to mosquitoes and the summer fruit flies are annoying. I ordered a companionway screen, internal hatch screen, a couple large exterior hatch screens and a couple small portlight screens. They are all well made. I could not have sewn them as well and buying the materials to make them would probably have cost me almost as much. I think they are fairly priced. I have been using them for a several weeks now and really like them. Easy to use, compact to store, and keep bugs out. The weighted edges keep the screens down and make it easy to move aside.I installed a couple eye straps on either side of my companionway hatch to tie the screen onto. They work best. The provided suction cups did not stick to my aging gel coat and while I have lines and such nearby, the eye straps work best to keep the gap to a minimum. A bit of practice and you learn how to enter and exit the boat with the screen in place. Worth it to keep the cabin free of biting insects.The hatch screens take seconds to install. Just drop them over the hatch and you are ready to go. I often put them on and take them off from inside the boat now. You will notice a decrease in air flow with the screen in place. That is to be expected with a mesh fine enough to keep small flying bugs out.The portlight screens are nice as well. They take a bit more time to install as the adjustment ends up outside the boat but once set up, it is simple.The suction cups provided stick well to clean acrylic/plex hatches and ports. They provide a stick on magnetic option for a more permanent installation. I've not tried the magnets yet as the cups are working fine on the plastic ports and hatches. The plastic does need to be clean.

As I live on my boat on a mosquito infested bayou in the deep south USA, this netting is an absolute necessity for me. It fits my Alberg 30 almost perfectly and it stays in place even in very strong winds. The quality and durability is excellent. One suggestion, a centerline zipper so each half could be tied back for easier entrance and exit (like the mosquito netting on a tent door) would be a welcomed improvement.

I don't typically write reviews, but this merits one: anchored in a Mexican lagoon this screen is life-changing. Highly recommended.

We tested this out on our Catalina 22ft sailboat and it worked out perfectly. The reason for the 4 vs 5 stars was price was steep and the fit was exactly dead on. No room for error. Because of that, any time we went in or out, it took us a few minutes to set it back on the trim. Would have preferred at least a half inch more on each side for some wiggle room. Other than that, it did the job. Kept the bugs out, let the air in, weights kept it down.

Well made with a fine mesh. Keeps gnats and mosquitos out! Glad we found this!

Product is good quality. Not large enough to work properly on my boat, Catalina 30. Catalina is known for wide companion way. Picture looked wide enough but I failed to take measurements.

Was surprised how easy it was to set up and how it conformed to the cabin entryway.

We have a aft cabin boat, it fit perfect over opening and keeps the flies and mosquitos out

Keine Nacht mehr ohne dieses Mückennetz auf dem Boot.Passt sich ideal den Konturen an und ist genau so gut, wie wesentlich teurere Modelle auf dem Markt

Davvero molto bella e resistente.Ormai sono un po' di mesi che la sto usando e non si è rovinata. È morbida, cade bene e fa effetto oscurante così non si vede l'interno 😂Unico lato negativo: avrei messo dei lacci un po' più resistenti, più larghi. Sono lunghi il giusto ma sono fini come i lacci x le scarpe.

Ces moustiquaires sont présentées comme vendues par lot de 2. J'avais besoin de 8 moustiquaires, j'ai donc commandé 4 lots.En les déballant, je me suis aperçu qu'il n'y avait qu'une moustiquaire par lot!

Stop alle zanzare in porto e in rada

Funktioniert bestens, liegt dank dem beschwerten Rand dicht auf und die Plagegeister bleiben draussen
