Flyscreen for sliding door?
Anyone ever found anything that works well. I bought some mesh stuff with velcro attachment cheap off ebay last year but its rubbish and doesn't attach well at all. We're thinking of going up to Scotland this year and I've heard bad things about the midges.

The originals turn up on eBay (uk and de). They are not cheap but I guess that's why the cheap ones are crap

Just make sure that you take avon skin so soft with you the spray one it will help against the midge if not plenty of drink and you will soon forget about them

As the other poster said Avon Skin So Soft is what you need - the midgies hate it.
You can pick it up in any camping shop and every wee shop or garage in the highlands sell it

Re: Flyscreen for sliding door?
Make sure you get midge proof screening - the little blighters get straight through normal flyscreen mesh.

Re: Flyscreen for sliding door?
Mine had a makeshift one when i bought the van that works fine. There are some little eyelets screwed into the van across the sliding door with some cutain wire attatched. Mozzie screen threaded through, does the job just fine (and loads of people comment on it). Cant imagine it was expensive. Might even add a photo or two later.

Re: Flyscreen for sliding door?
Mozzie screen is no good as I said - the holes are too big - they allow the midges through.

Re: Flyscreen for sliding door?
Sorry, sorry. I do appreciate it. Got bamboozled with all the different options and still trying to make my mind up. Think will keep my eye open on ebay for one. Thanks for the info. Sorry, should have come back earlier and said thanks.
Re: Flyscreen for sliding door?
I bought two fro GOWESTY in the States. They are havy duty & the sliding door one has a centre zip. But I seem to remember they cost me about $130 or more. The one for the back fits great "velcroed" and I leave the back door up all night in the warm weather.
They supply with popper stude, but as my van was carpet lined I attached 1" strip of velcro all around the nets & they are great No mozzies.
I spent a lot of pocket money on thin rubbish netting which is alright for small windows, but for doors, ya need something a bit more rugged.
kev..love my westy ones, email Christina at gowesty & ask her about em.
