Cocoon Camping Net

The mesh is treated with permethrin, a synthetic version of a natural repellent found in chrysanthemums. This treatment is bonded to the fabric fibers, providing odorless, invisible protection against mosquitoes, ticks, ants, flies, and midges that lasts through many washes.

Yes, it is designed as a standalone shelter. While it works perfectly inside a tent or under a tarp, you can also set it up on its own to sleep under the stars, provided you have a way to suspend the peak.

The net features integrated pockets at each corner that you can fill with rocks, sand, or other heavy objects found at your campsite. This weights the corners down, helping to keep the net taut and secure against the ground without needing extra stakes.

With a mesh density of 324 holes per square inch, this net is effective against most common biting insects, including mosquitoes and flies. However, it may not stop extremely tiny insects like no-see-ums or sandflies, which often require a much higher hole count.

The net includes color-coded tie loops at the corners and the peak, which makes orientation intuitive. Simply attach the peak loop to a branch or ridgeline, then secure the four corners using the weighted pockets or by tying them off to nearby objects.

The net measures 86.61 inches in length, which accommodates most adults comfortably. It provides ample room for a standard sleeping pad and sleeping bag while still allowing enough clearance to move around slightly without touching the mesh.
