We have been using the enviromesh netting for a couple of years now. we are inundated with army worms and squash bugs that have destroyed our garden. I bought three 20 x 12 envirommesh and sewed them together to cover a 10 x 20 hoop house I built. It is strong and has preformed excellently for over two years. We have had rain, hail, 100 mile an hour winds and two winters with snow and ice. It is still intact and doing it's job. It is so wonderful to have a garden with few bugs destroying my vegetables. Finally we have squash, cucumbers, tomatoes, corn, peppers and potatoes. I highly recommend these insect covers. I recently purchased more to cover the new hoop house I just built.
