Thanks for letting me know where you got the material. Looks like *** is out of business.

wonder if you could make a mesh kestrel.....https://www.ahh.biz/mesh/military/mesh_nylon_raschel_milspec_material.php
Impressive! Are you doing Lineman belt loops?

I like to think of myself as a “gear fabricator”. It sounds more manly than “seamstress “. LOL!! I made all three of the shelters pictured below for last years elk hunt. When you learn how to do that, other guys tend not to laugh at you so much.

its same stuff mesh tree saddles are made from. Ive got a mesh saddle...and ordered some of this tuff at one point to try and diy...companies and ideas passed me by before I got the nerve to learn to sew.That mesh nylon looks like it might work. I’d have to put my hands on a sample to know for sure. There’s a lot of good materials out there that will fill the bill.

Man those shelters look great! Have been looking into making one for myself. Any tips or where to get started?

This stuff looks like what shannon outdoors uses for the inside layer of their bug suitsits same stuff mesh tree saddles are made from. Ive got a mesh saddle...and ordered some of this tuff at one point to try and diy...companies and ideas passed me by before I got the nerve to learn to sew.
Anyways exact same stuff
One side is an ambush saddle...one is material listed above
I actually looked closer at a pic of the back of one. It looks like the inside and outside panels are only connected with the three vertical stitches and the perimeter stitch. The horizontal stitching only has one visible stitch. That tells me they are only connecting them with the vertical stitching. So to answer your question, in my case the vertical stitching is not really doing anything. Doing only the vertical stitch would probably be easier. My guess is they marry up the inside/outside panels, sew the perimeter all the way around, and then run the three vertical stitches.Does the vertical stitching serve a purpose?
