Pergola with Bug Net

A pergola bug net not only enhances your outdoor living experience by keeping insects at bay but also adds to the aesthetic appeal of your space. With the right materials and regular maintenance, you can enjoy a bug-free environment all season long.
Any netted pergola is designed to protect open areas from direct sunlight. By adding vertical ZIP systems and/or glass to the pergola, we get a full-fledged room protected from wind, side rain, cold, and pesky bugs.
Pergola netting can be added to any gazebo or pergola of your choice. Without some kind of side protection, mosquitoes and other insects can spoil the mood, and adding a protective net will help solve the problem and keep out annoying insects.

The following are used to manufacture mosquito nets:
1. Fiberglass is glass fibers covered with a thin layer of plastic. It helps the net to retain its shape well and cope with external influences (moisture, temperature changes). This is a completely environmentally friendly material that is safe for human health. It does not emit toxins and has no strong odor. Advantages: durability (lasts at least 5-8 years), dimensional stability, ease of maintenance (it is enough to wash it once a season and lightly damp clean it as needed).
2. Polyester is a budget-friendly, easy-to-care-for, and safe material. It copes well with its main function but has low strength, tears easily, and deforms faster. Polyester pergola nets can last about 3-5 years. At the end of this period, the fabric must, in most cases, be replaced.
3. Polyamide is completely synthetic. It is often used to make budget frame nets or mosquito nets with Velcro. Advantages: very low cost and availability. Disadvantages: it strongly absorbs odors, can have an unpleasant aroma of “chemicals,” easily deforms, and quickly tears.

Cleaning mosquito nets is a mandatory ritual that should be performed at least twice a year (before the start and after the end of the season). Dirt settles on the pergola bug net during one season (spring, summer, autumn), so it is necessary to clean it periodically to maintain its aesthetic appearance and a healthy atmosphere in the home. This process directly depends on the type of net design.
You determine the frequency of the procedure because everything depends on the degree of contamination. If you live in a private sector where there are many trees and there is no intense car traffic, the net will stay clean longer. Periodically, during the general cleaning of the house, you can remove dust with a damp, lint-free cloth or napkin.

How to clean the pergola net before the summer season
You need to start the season with cleanliness. Before installing a pergola bug net, you must consider its appearance. First, mosquito nets must be cleaned after long-term winter storage.
You will need water (a shower or a hose with moderate pressure), liquid detergent, a sponge, or a soft brush to do this. First, wash off plant pollen, and dust from the net under the tap. Then, apply a non-aggressive cleaning agent (preferably a weak soap solution) to the canvas and gently remove dirt from the net and frame. Do not press hard on them while washing to avoid accidentally damaging the frame or net.
After this, thoroughly wash off the foam and dirty particles with clean water.
Caring for mosquito nets also means carefully storing them during the winter period. Despite their strength and high-quality materials, it is recommended to dismantle the protective product before the onset of winter and sub-zero temperatures to extend its ” life.”
A pergola bug net can last for many seasons or just a few. It depends on the conditions, careful use, and correct and regular maintenance.
