Mosquito Net for Deck Hatch – Universal Insect Screen (3 Sizes)

This universal hatch mosquito net is an indispensable accessory for comfortable cruising, especially during evenings at anchor or in marinas. It effectively shields your boat’s cabin and sleeping quarters from pesky mosquitoes and insects, allowing you to sleep soundly with the hatches open for ventilation. The mesh is made from fine polyester material with tiny apertures that block even very small insects while permitting excellent airflow. An elastic band sewn around the edge ensures the net clings tightly to the hatch frame without gaps. Installation is extremely simple – just stretch the net over the open hatch, and it automatically grips in place thanks to the built-in elastic. No tools or additional fixings are needed, and removal is a matter of seconds when you’re ready to set off.

The mosquito net comes in three sizes:

• Small (A≈540 mm): Fits small deck hatches with outer dimensions up to ~54×54 cm (commonly used for compact cabins or heads on boats up to 6 m).
• Medium (A≈650 mm): Suits medium hatches around 65×65 cm – often found on family motorboats and sailing yachts (6–9 m in length).
• Large (A≈750 mm): Designed for larger hatches up to ~75×75 cm, typical on bigger yachts and catamarans, providing full bug protection for the main hatch.

Usage Recommendations:

• Deploy the mosquito net whenever the boat is stationary (at anchor or docked) to keep bugs out at night while a cool breeze flows through the cabin.
• The net is particularly useful on lakes, rivers, and summer nights when mosquitoes are most active. For best results, use dim cabin lights at night to avoid attracting insects in the first place.
• Ventilation: With the net in place, you can leave hatches open all night or during hot days without worrying about unwelcome “visitors.” This helps reduce cabin humidity and temperature by allowing heat to escape.
• After use, ensure the net is dry before folding and storing it – this will prevent mildew growth. The net packs away easily in its included pouch or any small storage spot on board.
• Cleaning is straightforward: rinse with fresh water and hand-wash gently if it becomes dirty. The material is quick-drying and tear-resistant, so your mosquito screen will serve you well for many seasons.
