mesh material

I'm going to make my own air intakes out of mesh and I was wondering which of these would be better:

Phifertex Plus
or
Regular Phifertex

None.......contact Dale Cutler at 801-224-5005 and ask for Frogz Skin...it is the best and has an adhesive that is good to -20F....the only way to go and it is Waterproof but passes gases and air...(semi-permiable) about 10.00 for 3 2" dia circles if you need pix I will send

I know a lot of people are using trampoline mesh. Seems cheep and a good idea too.

go to your local fabric store

ask for mesquito netting material

it is a nylon mesh with a weave almost as tight as store bought pre filters.

I paid $8 for 2 yards in grey and black

so far it works great IMO for venting the hood

CPC for sure!!!

The problem with most of the home-made vents is it is not water proof meterial. Very important that it dosent let any snow dust through it.

The FROG SKINS are the coolest thing out there.

We have been looking all over for a material to use for venting and I think we have found something that will work, this may make some buisnesses mad but we found a shower curtain at Wal-mart that is water proof but we could blw air threw it I think it was $10 for a whole curtain, it came in black and other colors, we haven't been able to test it because we have no snow, but we poured beer on it and it would soak through. Just an idea. and a cheap one!

i'm 99% sure that phifertex is waterproof, it says on that site that it's used for umbrellas

Go to the hardware store and get the pet tough screen door material and have at it.

^^^ that's what I did and I think it should work good for a belly pan vent. Also you can by the material that Flowrites are made of pretty inexpensively from here
