Are thread counts small enough to prevent mosquitoes and bugs if used to enclosed a patio?

the only way small baby mosquitos would get past this is if you did a shoddy job at enclosing your space. definitely need to overlap and sew the overlaps together.

I love it too! I plan on adding mosquito netting as well as interchangeable canvas curtains by putting strips of Velcro along the inside top of the gazebo and sewing the partner strip to the fabrics.

The screen is a nice one but since I don't have anything planted in the planter, water collects there. I will probably drill holes in the planter so water doesn't collect there but I would imagine mosquitoes will prosper there if I don't do something about it.

I doubt it. The mesh holes are larger than most mosquitoes, at least on the size I have- not sure about smaller ones.

I don't know exactly about mosquito net, but I have a screened porch I have used it on and it seems to keep bugs and insects out. Hope this might help. I've been happy with the screen.

If by covered porch you mean rain will not fall directly on the unit or the power outlet, you'll be fine. If it's not already, install a GFI (ground fault interrupter) outlet in that location. Then if there's a short, such as to water, it automatically cuts off the power instantly. My wild guess is the water does not move fast enough to deter mosquitos, but if you try it, please let us know. It's a good question.

This is intended for outdoor use. Mosquitoes indoors is a whole 'nuther problem.

I have used it quiet a few times working on projects at night and hated having the garage door open because of the mosquitoes in S FL. Running the thermacell I can leave it open and at least enjoy the breeze without having to fear being swarmed. Some nights it has been so effective I haven't been bitten once.

Great! I didn't realize that. I will have to look into that further too. It does help keep the bugs away.

i use one at an entrance door under my carport. it is not completely open but it does exactly what i hoped it would which was to keep mosquitoes away from the door. it works great for that.

Yes, the Ali Gazebo has holes that you can use to secure it, and it came with mosquito netting.

Vey good question. I have many set up that would come in contact with mosquitos. None had any visable ones on there. I check close to protect the garden

Yes all our screen is designed to keep out insects. If you have no-see-ums or sand fly's we recommend the tiny 17 x 20 mesh.

No, I would say not. The holes, the natural sheer, is pretty large. I wouldn't use it as a bug net.

Yes. It can't hurt, but all those pesky mosquitoes will. I've seen larvae in the most obscure and protected of areas -- don't care how covered the container might be. These bits are easy, and they do seem to work... for about 3 years now. (My worry is that the local critters will eventually develop a resistance. But go for it now!)

Area size is a way that other zappers mislead. The area that mosquitoes are drawn in from, is not necessarily the area kept free of them. The larger the fan, or more fans used, the larger the area. My porch is around 12' by 18', and when the mosquitoes were heavy, I had three Bug Fans going, and they all caught about the same amount overnight. I don't mind spending money on fans, if I want to sit outside. When they aren't heavy I only run one, to keep them from getting heavy later. Fans are cheap, and last almost forever. Being prepared for the seasonal onslaught only costs once, since everything you bought will be ready next year when they get heavy again. In my second year in using this, there are noticeably less bugs, of all kinds. Bugs get caught that I never knew were on my porch, but they were.

They definitely don't work for mosquitoes in backyard so I would not recommend them for any other type of insect. There were flies, yellow jackets, etc. all around. It was not a repellant, more like an attractor. Hope this is helpful.
