And finally, me and my mate in the pub having a well deserved glass or two of wine!

Thanks for the compliment but i've already thought about how i would do things differently, like maybe having the tarp upside down as i could fasten the guy rope in the middle to the tent, where there's a space where the two poles cross over - prevent it billowing up when the breeze gets underneath.....

Not sure about the mozzi net issue.  I sat and looked at the doors thinking the same thing while we were away.  Sorry, can't help on that one.

I know its not as good as a sewn in version, but for times when a flymesh is imperative why not use pegs/plastic bulldog type clips and clip flymesh up the vertical pole by the side of the door, along the pole above the door and then either sew some elastic or use a grip clip/holdon plus a tent elastic and peg the flymesh down at the other side of the door. If needed you could peg along the open side of the door and along the bottom, but the tension and slope of the tent will probably prevent a too big a gap anyway. You just unclip at the pegging point to go in or out. It won't keep all the bugs out, but will close off 95 plus % of the door opening.

We use a sheet of flymesh bounded with binding tape and some women's suspender clips to hang flymesh over the rear door of our inner tent when needed, which is a similar principle to what I've described above.

Now the next question, (seeing as you have done a good job) how do i put a blooming mosi net ever the doors. Ive been to tent repairers in bolton today with tent, zip and mosi netting as requested by the owner, only to be told they cant do it. As you know the door is a D shape so cant put velcro on because io wont go all the way round.
