Do you need to buy a Mosquito net, but what mosquito net to buy?
There are some important questions to answer before you can purchase a suitable net. Whether you are buying a mosquito net for: the home/unit, travel or to donate to people in malaria stricken areas, the following questions must be asked:
1. How will I hang my net? Does your home/house or accommodation have hooks to hang your mosquito net from?
2. Do I want a hang-able net or maybe a "stand alone net tent?"
3. How big does your net or net tent need to be - to cover a single bed or a double bed?
4. Do you need the mosquito net/tent to be easily transportable and/or stored in backpack/suitcase easily?
5. Do you require a treated or a non treated net?
Here is some useful information that will help with your decision on what mosquito net to buy:
Basic rectangular "box nets" and round "conical" nets can be stored easily and weigh only 600grams (1pound). Mosquito nets generally come in Rectangular "box style" and a round (conical) shaped net which features a hoop up the top of the net.
The rectangular nets have small hoops or rings on each corner. Strings thread through the rings and tie to beams or hooks.
The round net has a loop coming out of the top, that loops around the hook. The hook is fixed to the ceiling or a beam.
Both styles are easily carried and stored and are light weight. The down side is that you need a hook - or in the case of the box net - fixtures to string the net up to.
Net tents
Some net tents like our Santorini net tent self erect and still only weigh 2 pounds. The down side is that it can not break down small enough to go into a travel bag.
There are other net tents that are more like traditional tents that break down more but they do take longer to erect.
Should you Buy Treated or Non Treated Mosquito nets? You will be safe with or with out insecticide (all companies that I have come across use World Health Organization approved insecticides, but... it is worth checking when your purchasing). Treatment does give a little extra protection but the main reason these nets were developed was to kill mosquitoes and decrease their numbers in malaria prone Countries - to go with insecticidal spraying and other communal strategies.
