Planning on sewing a half nest for my SO 16 man tipi. SO doesn't make a bug nest for the 16 man and I want to do some road trips with my six year old son next summer so I want to maximise the bug-free space.

Anyone ever sewed a bug nest for a tipi? Have not sewed silnylon or netting before but won't think that's going to be the problem.

I'd be more interested in any experiences or tips in designing it. More specifically, I'm not sure about the netting: should I cut panels similar to the tipi panels or will I be okay with going with panel size that the material allows? The netting probably drapes pretty nicely. Because of the size of the 16 man tipi, I will need to sew the netting from several pieces so just thinking what the best way would be.

Thanks!
