The Purple Turtle Says… | “Very easy to hang up with a single, central hook, whilst the net itself is held open with a built-in flexible ring at the top” | “It’s ideal for use in Scotland or Scandinavia (where midges are a problem) and in the Caribbean / Florida area (where sand flies are a nuisance). It will also protect against mosquitoes but generally you would be better to use a net with bigger holes in the tropics because it would be cooler” | “The LifeSystems Duo Double Net has top poles to spread the netting out, creating a bell shaped net and maximising the interior space to fit over a double or single bed” | “It is suitable for use in a hotel or hostel with two single beds pushed together or a large double bed” | “The spring steel frame makes for easier installation” | “20% lighter than the original and is very easy to hang up with a single, central hook, whilst the net itself is held open with a built-in flexible ring at the top” |
