Jimmy, I've typed 3 times and the content keeps disappearing! Your material looks like beach wear cover up. Durable and easy to handle.

It's 100% polyester with hemmed seams.
Utility Fabric / mesh white.

jimmy. please be patience with me, but let me ask you again. A fabric that goes past one year and keeps the dread cabbage moth out. is this right? 

why do you only use it on the lower half and not all over?

Not to worry, I have the patience of a saint... covering a 4x4 box - Page 2 3170584802 

Last season was the first in covering anything. I did it mainly for cucumber beetles and guess what ?
I didn't plant any cucumbers there..LOL..
Started with the frame of course ( will be changed this season )
I really did not like the tulle, I tend to desire more permanent items, what I found at Joann's seemed to be just that.
Very flexible, strong, and seems to be durable. When the season was over I decided why leave it out and exposed for all those months of cold weather.
I unhooked it all , bundled up in a bag till next season...and I did pick up more at discounted rates.

When I removed the tulle it disintegrated and I didn't like that., I do enough stuff that disintegrates.
Cabbage moth is to big to get through those holes. Some smaller bugs have, however I have found when they do and find they cannot get out, all they do is spend time trying to get out..

I may still lay tulle on the top of my new enclosure because It won't need to be uncovered.
Having that bar running across where I had it was bothersome and in the way...my newer frame will have the bar up high enough not to hinder access. 
Here's a pic of what I am hoping to build this season for 1 bed, got this from some one here.  or possible just trying to do away with my cross piece.
