When I read the comment about someone unable to see through the net, I thought, GREAT! So I know the bugs can't get in and my neighbors can't see me, so I bought one anyway and I can actually see out of it just fine. Besides, we are inside of it and not even the tiniest of bugs can get in and that's the whole point. Also, I don't us water or sand because I don't like the mess on my deck. My husband and I use a couple of penny rolls for weight. Like anything, it was chore trying to put it up the first time, but I learned to put it back up by myself by just draping it around the umbrella edges one section at a time. At first I was turning my umbrella, that was dumb, it's best to walk around it. Now, I can't live without this thing. I bought one for my mother who is always complaining about mosquitoes and everything else, and she loves it too.

Easy to set up, the one that was sent was black instead of white but it was fine. I started to fill the tube with water but it leaked right away. I am able to use it without the water and the net works very well at keeping the bees out. I am still glad that I purchased this because it allows me to sit out and enjoy the outdoors free of flying insects.

The only feature I like about this is that the base can be filled with water. It was very easy to fill. On the other hand, the netting does not sit at the top of the umbrell but rests almost to the edge of the umbrella when fully opened. If you have to close the umbrella the netting falls to the ground. It is nearly impossible to reopen the umbrella with the netting because the base is still filled with water. So, you have to empty the base and start all over. Also, it is very hard to see through either because the holes are too large or because it is white. I have another netting that is black with a tighter thread count per inch and it very easy to see through. It was worth paying a little extra money for it.

Bought in black color.Wasnt sure if it would be a problem with my patio umbrella but turned out a 9ft umbrella is fine for it and doent make it flare out full like picture shows.You have to fill it with water so it will flare out at bottom.It does its job keeping bugs away.Kinda of difficult to set up over umbrella have to stand on chair or ladder.Can not keep up all the time if windy as it catches a lot of wind.Then you would have to keep water in tubing all the time so it doesnt fly away but if you lower umbrella during wind storm netting falls down thin umbrella and is a major pain to get back up.Price wasnt bad like $40 I bought it last season.I will use again for summer.Would be careful of flames though as this thing looks like it could catch fire quickly.

This product works well for most insects but I am noticing that the smaller mosquitoes are finding their way in and my family is getting ambushed once they get inside the netting! Albeit, I do live in a densely mosquito infested area, I was really hoping I would finally have some relief outside. I need a finer netting to avoid these tiny mosquitoes.

My other issues is that the bottom doesn't touch the ground when I have my umbrella fully open, I will try to loosen up the cord on the top that holds the netting on top of the umbrella if possible.

I love this umbrella mosquito net. I purchased it specifically to use over my granddaughters swimming pool. It has saved them from many insect bites. It securely goes over the umbrella and I place it over their pool which also provides a nice shield from the sun. The bottom edging has a water fillable base which helps keep it in place and prevent it from blowing in the wind. The front has a zipper allowing me to "close" them in which further ensures bugs and insects don't bother them. It is great over the patio table for meals as well, very roomy. I highly recommend this Patio Umbrella Mosquito Net.

Love it. I do wish it fit the catelivered style of umbrella we have better. It is great.

I brought this net to keep out bugs.it is a lot of net for one preson to put up. need more then a pair of hands......its great
