Midge mesh is made using a process called fibreglass weaving. It involves creating fibres from melted glass that are then pulled through a machine to create individual fibres. This mesh type is coated with PVC to protect it from UV rays and moisture.
For areas where smaller insects, such as midges, are prevalent — like parts of Scotland and the UK — we recommend using this midge mesh, which has a tighter weave of 30×20.
Made from lightweight and tightly woven materials, this mesh provides a barrier that keeps insects at bay while still allowing airflow, making it ideal for outdoor activities such as camping, hiking, fishing, or gardening. The mesh is often used in head nets, tent screens, or protective clothing, offering comfort and protection without sacrificing visibility or breathability. Its high resistance to wear and tear ensures reliable use in challenging outdoor environments, especially in areas with high insect populations.
Shipping & Delivery
We ship this mesh from Gloucestershire, UK to all over the world. No matter how many you order, it is packed carefully and precisely to ensure it arrives to you in one piece. If you have any concerns, simply give us a call and we’re happy to chat.
Prevents
Our standard insect mesh features an 18×16 gauge weave, designed to effectively keep out various insects, including bees, wasps, large spiders, flies, ladybirds, mosquitoes, and moths. This 30×20 gauge weave keeps out the same, but also midges, sand flies and other smaller insects.
Fixing Methods
Fibreglass mesh is easy to install as well. Simply cut to the size needed and secure into place using clips or adhesive. Then use a staple gun, nails or screws. You can then seal the edges using silicone, which will prevent moisture or insects from creeping through.
Did you know?
This type of mesh can also be recycled – but only in certain areas! It is either ground down into a powder or melted once more to transform it into something else. Check with your local recycling centre to see if it something they can do.
