MINOR WARNING:
The product is as described, small holes, stretchy, what I wanted. One minor problem that people should be aware of: Product comes stuffed in a carry bag. This requires that the top round piece, which is bend-able, be bent and jammed in there. This round piece is rather large. When I was unfolding the net, I came to the round piece not realizing it was about to unfold itself (as it should) and it unwound itself abruptly...nailing me right in the face/eye. The part is not terribly hard, but is a sturdy plastic of sorts, and eyes generally don't take being hit by much of anything ;) <----a winking smile, but my wink is involuntary, because this thing hit me so quickly and unexpectedly in the eye). ;P Please just be aware that the thing spring-unfolds itself, and if you're not ready for it, because it is rather large, and because arm's length may not be far enough, it'll pop-unwind in your face quickly. No big deal, I recovered quickly, it was just something I wish I knew to avoid. Getting hit in the face/eye with just about anything is something we'd all rather avoid. The net is doing what I needed it to do; our weather has been horribly hot/humid this season, and I have a minor problem with an occasional black spider showing up in the bedroom. Can't figure out where they're coming from. I used to get one to two max per season (it's an old house) but after getting three in three days, and what appear to be bites on my body, I said "enough is enough." Needed a quick solution, and this provides it. Although relatively small, these spiders are far too big to get past the holes in this net. Seems to be a very decent product, and I was pleased with the price. Shopped for about a dozen before deciding on this one, very happy with it so far, I suspect it will get long-term use for years to come. Outside of the unexpected pop-out of the large ring that hit me in the eye at the top, it's a five-star rating. Only the tiniest and non-threatening bugs will get through this thing. (Note: Bedbugs can likely get through it. I suggest researching putting plastic down on the floor for a couple years to resolve that type of issue, it worked for me in the past. Unfortunately it does require long-term plastic be down, and get anything else off the floor).
