The most impractical mosquito net ever




I've always wanted a mosquito net, which is in keeping with boatsheds in this part of the world. The only problem is that the fair dinkum ones used to actually be large enough to envelop the whole bed and, thus, to protect the sleeper from mosquitoes. I managed to find one at the op shop, so I've just put it up for fun. I do like the look of it, but unfortunately it won't keep out many mozzies. The photo at the bottom was taken looking out from the boatshed deck. It's of Ross and Christine having a sail this morning.

Hi there,
I love your boat shed.
I think it would be really easy to make a mosquito net big enough for your bed. I'm sure there would be appropriate netting materials (that are really cheap like Tulle) at fabric stores and you could loop it over a long piece of dowl the length of your bed on the beam on the roof?

This wouldn't possibly be Erowal Bay? I saw a pic of the BS and had a strange feeling that I'd seen it before.
