DIY stuffs, bug net paratarp,field chair,tipi.

Bug net for my kifaru paratarp,of course it will not be pitched like my pictures,i was in a hurry for taking the photos because i was freezing at -20Celcius(Quebec,Canada).We have fly and mosquitos around May and i hate those little vampires so i decided to made this half net for the paratarp.
What you guys think?I am not sure if i will leave it like this of make the other half?I think its good like this,i can still use a stove and for hot summer nights it will give me some fresh air\ventilation and a nice view on the river I ordered some Tan 1000D cordura for a field chair projet and used the paratarp poles as chair legs.

Nice work although your pup doesn't look amused.... Might have to give that a try for my Supertarp

 

[reaper]

Haha,he was sick waiting for me to take a walk,he doesnt care if its -20celcius outside.

Outstanding job! I'd follow bbrown's lead and try one in a super tarp. How soon before you could whip up a couple of Supertarp sized net doors???

Wow! Very cool. I am impressed! Might need to try that out.

Looks great. You thinking of putting a net shod skirt around the base?. It would allow you to ventalet better while keeping the bugs out, rather than having to keep the pitch tight.

yeah Manosteel i thought about that but not really sure if i want to sew in a Kifaru shelter hahahah!!Nothing of the bug net is stitched on the Para...the first goal of this project was to see if i can sew a bigger bug net on my seekoutside 4 man...to be honest i am affraid of putting the tipi on the sewing machine,its huge and its hard to work,i am not a professional but i think ill give it a try soon.
Don't you think having a half net door is enough for ventilation in the para??

thanks,haha,it took me 6 hours to create it,i run out on 3/4 grossgrain and i had to cheated with a 5/8 grossgrain,i took 1 inch for the velcro door,it looks better...i not a prverall its pretty basic stuff,just need to take your time(pretty hard with a 6 months little girl)i have 3 weeks off so i got time to play,i use the old Stinger sewing machine from my mom,i think she is younger than the machine hahahah!!!

Looks great. Is it really that comfy to sit in? Hard to wrap my head around that design.

when you find your position its really nice,the wife said ''nice,i can see myself reading a book and maybe take a nap when you are fishing'' The idea was to be able to use them in my 4 man tipi.

only thing i don't like its my poor choice of color...next time ill try to find some kryptek or darker color fabric.This Tan will looks awful with sand,mud and water but i guess its easy washable.
