Thread: Fly Mesh/screen Fabric?

Done a bit of a search but cant find anything...

What's a good fabric to get so I can hang a deer in the bush with out having to share my bounty with the flys?
I don't mind buying the fabric and stitching it up myself.

I just go to spotlight and get net curtain and stich it into a long cylinder and then tie off each end. Nice and light and easy to wash.

Buy a sleeping bag liner, pack up small and no holes for flys.

Or a mosquito net. Or just buy a game bag, they're pretty cheap.

Plus 1 for net curtain. All I've used for the blocks that don't have a meatsafe. Cheap to buy/replace,easy to clean and keeps the blowies at bay.

What about Mutton Cloth (or cheese cloth), maybe not for a whole deer, otherwise game bags are about $30 I think

The trouble with mutton cloth is it sits tight on the skin and the bloody Flys manage to get their eggs through.

Cool thank you, will avoid that

Ullrich Aluminium in Hamilton used to sell Flymesh that was 1200 wide by the metre. Not sure if they still do but might be worth a look.

I like the idea of pillow cases. Can easy tie them up and hang them with some para cord.

Single sheet sown edge to edge slip over carcase and tie the ends with para cord or similar

Pillow case, kids sheets sewn up etc, I use a sleeping bag inner, lightweight and small to pack, warehouse has them for $20, wait for a sale

Saw some made from weed mat from Bunnings. Owner got the missus sewing machine out and dadaaaa...

i use and old duvet cover, although the damn dog chewed some holes in it lol, now i have an old queen sheet sewn across bottom and down one side
