Re: covering a 4x4 box
Jimmy, I've typed 3 times and the content keeps disappearing! Your material looks like beach wear cover up. Durable and easy to handle.

Sanderson, joann has a 50% off coupon too. thanks.

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

Not to worry, I have the patience of a saint...
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.
