The best Mosquito nets, compared.
Top pick: SMALUCK magnetic door screen, 80 x 200 cm, black – Highest score: about £13.99 for a fixed 80 × 200 cm door curtain, with 4.5 from 2,123 reviews and magnets that close after a walk-through. Best value: MOEGFY fly screens for windows, 3-pack – About £11.04 for three 130 × 150 cm window sheets, with 4.1 from 4,638 reviews, the largest count here, and adhesive that peels as the known limit. Updated October 2026.
A mosquito net is a fine mesh barrier between you and biting insects. In the UK the same words cover a hanging bed canopy, a pop-up sleeping tent, a cut-to-size window sheet, a framed magnetic window screen, and a magnetic door curtain. You buy one so a window or a back door can stay open on a warm evening, or so a bed has a barrier at home or on a trip. You recognise a suitable net by the opening. A hanging canopy needs a stated drop and a hem you can tuck, and a fixing point you already trust. A pop-up needs a printed open length, because the word double is not a measurement. A window kit is sized to the flat frame, not the glass, and only up to a maximum you can trim inside. A door curtain fits only when the leaf matches the panel. Hole size in millimetres is rarely printed. Public UK guidance cites about 1.5 mm for a bed net, about 1.2 mm for mosquitoes on screens, and about 0.6 mm for midges. Keep the mesh off your skin, and keep the edge tucked or sealed. An insecticide-treated net for malaria-endemic travel is a different product. Type and size are set out in the [mosquito net buying guide](/hub/pest-control/mosquito-net/sub/mosquito-net-buying-guide).

Personal buying guide
Question 1 of 2
What are you covering?
The SMALUCK curtain is a fixed 80 × 200 cm polyester panel at £13.99, and the listing prefers the screen a little larger than the opening. It holds 4.5 from 2,123 amazon.co.uk reviews, the strongest star-and-count pair in this set. Reviewers whose door matched often fit it in a few minutes, and they say the magnets close after you walk through, including with children and dogs. One UK reviewer says it cannot be trimmed, even after being told that it could. Hook-and-loop leaves residue, the hem can fall inside the doorway, and mesh left up for years tore. No insecticide is stated. It is a door leaf, not a bed canopy and not a window sheet.
Pros
Cons
Best for: Your door opening is about 80 × 200 cm and you want it open without drilling.
Less suitable: The leaf is a different size, or you needed a window screen or a bed net.
Specifications
Common questions
Is it pet friendly?
The title says kid and pet friendly. UK reviews describe dogs learning to push through. It is not a lock.
Can you cut it to size?
One UK reviewer says it cannot be trimmed. The listing says measure, and that the screen should be slightly larger than the opening.
Does it need drilling?
The bullets say hook-and-loop on the frame, plus push pins. They do not describe screws into the wall.
The Twinkle Star canopy at £24.99 hangs from a hook, and the listing states a 2.5 m drop, a 12 m bottom circumference and a 0.6 m top ring. Across 1,115 amazon.co.uk ratings the line is 4.5, though only four saved reviews are marked United Kingdom. Those UK notes say it stopped mosquitoes, that the fabric is generous, and that the side overlap is about 1 m. One UK review says it does not hang straight unless you tie it to a ring, and that the side opening can let insects in. The listing does not state an insecticide, and one UK review calls it untreated. The bullets include a travel bag, a screw hook, three adhesive hooks and nine pads, while the included-components field says Rod. It is marked not water resistant, so a garden night is insect cover rather than a rain shelter.
Pros
Cons
Best for: You can fix one point above a bed and want a stated 12 m hem with hooks and a bag in the box.
Less suitable: You need a treated net for a malaria-risk trip, or you are screening a window or a door.
Specifications
Common questions
Can it be used outdoors?
The bullets say indoor and outdoor, including camping, and the listing marks it not water resistant. Treat outdoor use as insect cover, not a rain shelter.
Does it come with a carry bag?
Yes. The bullets include one travel bag plus hooks and pads.
Do you need to drill?
No for the three adhesive hooks. A screw hook and wall anchor are also in the box if you choose a fixed mount.
The Fransande pop-up, titled PHAVN, is £20.99, with a self-opening frame, a zip and polyester mesh on fibreglass tubes. It scores 4.4 from 439 reviews. Reviewers used it on a cycling trip and in a caravan, and several call the zip solid. Open length is not printed in centimetres, and the size field says 2 m × 0.33 m, which reads like a packed or odd dimension rather than a sleeper length. UK reviews say it is too short for some people over about 5 ft 8 in or 5 ft 9 in, tight once bedding is inside, and hard to twist back into the bag. One review says a support snapped after six nights. No insecticide is stated, and the brand field says Fransande while the title says PHAVN.
Pros
Cons
Best for: You have no hook, you are under about 5 ft 8 in, or you have already checked the pitched length.
Less suitable: You are taller, you need a printed 200 cm length, or you want a hanging hem over a double.
Specifications
Common questions
Is it good for camping?
The bullets say indoor and outdoor, light, and packable. It is not described as waterproof.
How do you pack it?
UK reviews say it twists into a circle and that instructions are missing. Several found the bag a struggle.
How long is it?
The saved bullets do not print an open length. UK reviewers disagree around 5 ft 8 in to just under 6 ft.
This Twinkle Star listing is £19.99 and states a 2.2 m height and a 12 m bottom circumference, hung from a built-in rope if a ceiling hook already exists. The star line is 4.4 from 384 reviews. One saved UK review calls the quality reasonable for the price. Almost all other saved review texts are not marked United Kingdom, so the count is not a British sample. It shares the model string ACO-twk-002 with the £24.99 hook-kit canopy, which states a longer drop and different contents. The included-components field says Rod, while the bullets describe a rope and a carry bag. No insecticide is stated. At 380 g it is the lighter of the two Twinkle Star canopies, and you still need a fixing that is already there.
Pros
Cons
Best for: A hook is already above the bed and you want the 12 m hem without a second hook kit.
Less suitable: You have no fixing point, or you need the 2.5 m drop and the adhesive pads on the hook-kit canopy.
Specifications
Common questions
Will it fit a double bed?
The bullets say single beds, double beds, and sofas, with a 2.2 m height and a 12 m base. That is the listing claim, not a measurement of your bed.
Does it come with a carry bag?
Yes. The bullets include a travel carry bag.
Do you need tools?
The bullets say the hanging rope sets it from a ceiling hook without extra tools. They do not say a hook is in the box.
NeatiEase is the dearest window kit in this set at £26.99, with a maximum of 100 × 130 cm, a white frame and grey fibreglass mesh. It scores 4.3 from 4,006 reviews. UK reviewers say insects stay out with the window open, that the grey mesh is discreet, and that the magnets feel strong. First install took from about 20 minutes to about three hours, one buyer had no cutter in the box, and several call the parts dear. Strong adhesive may be hard to remove in a rental. If you cut it for a closed window and then open the casement, the mesh can bag. The saved page dates first availability to 21 May 2020. Fire-retarded fibreglass is seller wording, not a British Standard named on the listing, and no hole size is printed.
Pros
Cons
Best for: Your frame is inside 100 × 130 cm and you want grey mesh with a large review file.
Less suitable: The opening is larger than 100 × 130 cm, or you are covering several windows on a lower budget.
Specifications
Common questions
What is it made of?
The material field says fibreglass and PVC.
Is it easy to install?
UK reviews call the steps clear and the first window slow. Times in the file run from about 20 minutes to about three hours.
Does it keep flies out?
That is the repeated UK comment once the frame is sealed. Gaps at the tape are the failure mode.
The MiLeJu framed screen is £22.93, and the listing caps it at 120 × 130 cm, which you trim down rather than stretch. It scores 4.2 from 410 amazon.co.uk reviews. UK reviewers say the magnets click and that flies and spiders ease off when the window stays open, and some had enough mesh for two windows. The same reviews say the magnetic strip ran short even when mesh was left over, and that peeling the red backing can lift the adhesive. The plastic surround is fiddly on a first fit. Bullets claim 750GS magnets and flame-retardant fibreglass, which is seller wording rather than a cited British Standard. No hole size in millimetres is printed, and no insecticide is stated.
Pros
Cons
Best for: Your flat frame is inside 120 × 130 cm and you want a magnetic edge you can lift for the handle.
Less suitable: The opening is wider or taller than 120 × 130 cm, or you want several cheap sheets rather than one framed kit.
Specifications
Common questions
Will it fit a sliding window?
The bullets say aluminium, wood, and iron frames, including sliding and casement windows, up to 120 x 130 cm. Measure the frame, not the glass.
Does it need drilling?
The bullets say no drilling, using adhesive magnetic strips.
Is there enough strip?
UK reviews say the mesh can cover more than one window while the magnetic strip runs out. Check the perimeter before you cut.
MOEGFY is a three-pack of cut-to-size window sheets at £11.04, with the size line at 130 × 150 cm each. It scores 4.1 from 4,638 amazon.co.uk reviews, the largest count in the set. Reviewers say flies and mosquitoes drop while air still moves, and that a leftover sheet covers a second window. The repeated complaint is that the hook-and-loop adhesive peels, so some buyers add stronger tape. White mesh shows dirt and can darken the room, and it can fray where a window opener rubs. The bullets also mention a 150 × 180 cm size family, which is another option rather than this parcel. No fibre name and no insecticide are stated. At this price you are buying several frames, and you are also buying the tape as a job you will repeat.
Pros
Cons
Best for: You have several windows inside 130 × 150 cm and you will press, and later replace, the tape.
Less suitable: You want a framed magnetic edge, or you need a printed hole size small enough to talk about midges.
Specifications
Common questions
Does it come with tape?
Yes. The bullets and the included-components line list adhesive tapes, a press tool, and a cutter.
Is it easy to remove?
The bullets say it can be removed, cleaned, and stored. UK reviews say the tape peels, and some replaced it.
What is the mesh?
The page does not name polyester or fibreglass. It says fine mesh that you cut to size.
FGen is £10.99, and the bullets state a 2.5 m height, a 0.6 m top ring and a bottom of about 11 m, while the title says 12 m. It scores 4.1 from 434 reviews. Saved notes include a trip to St Lucia with fewer night bites, and use over a bed at home. One UK review says it arrived with a hole where the seam missed the stitch. The opening is a wide gap, not a zip. A storage bag and machine wash are questions the bullets do not answer. Adhesive hooks and screw hooks are named. No insecticide is stated, so a travel note is not a treated-net result. At 200 g it is a light canopy if you measure the hem you receive against the 11 m bullet rather than the 12 m title.
Pros
Cons
Best for: You want a lower-priced hanging canopy and you will check the hem and the seams before the first night.
Less suitable: You need a bag confirmed in the bullets, or you are reading a travel note as proof of a permethrin net.
Specifications
Common questions
Can it be used outdoors?
The bullets say indoors, holidays, camping, and the garden. They do not say it is waterproof.
Does it include a storage bag?
The page asks. The bullets do not list a bag.
Is it machine washable?
The page asks. The bullets do not say.
Guanici prints 200 × 80 × 56 cm for a single or travel pop-up at £18.99, with a storage bag in the bullets. The star line is 4.1 from 26 reviews, a small file next to the 439 on the other pop-up. A reviewer at 5 ft 6 in said it stopped holiday bites and that it pops open out of the bag. Folding it away is the repeated complaint, the bag is only just big enough, and the bullets do not include folding instructions. The highlight height of 56 cm is not a height you can sit up in, and the size field also says 2 m × 0.8 m. The bullets say chemical-free, which is not a treated travel net. At 310 g it is a barrier for a shorter single, not a double canopy.
Pros
Cons
Best for: You sleep around 5 ft 6 in on a single and you want a printed 200 cm length without a ceiling hook.
Less suitable: You are much taller, you need to sit up inside the net, or you want a large UK review file.
Specifications
Common questions
Can it be used for camping?
The bullets say travel and camping, and that it is lightweight.
Is it machine washable?
The bullets say washable and easy to clean. They do not print a wash cycle.
Does it come with a bag?
Yes. The bullets include a storage bag.
Cognitivex is £7.99 and prints 230 × 800 × 60 cm, about an 8 m hem, hung from a stick-on hook. It scores 3.9 from 106 reviews, the lowest star line among products that have one. Some UK buyers say it copes on a small double if you tuck it, and the net is light at 160 g. Others say it is small for a double, that the material is thin, and that the holes felt large. One review says it is too small for a single and that the pictures look like a different product. A storage bag is asked on the page and is not confirmed in the bullets. No insecticide is stated, so the word double on a search page is not a fit.
Pros
Cons
Best for: You have measured a small bed against an 8 m hem and you accept thin mesh at this price.
Less suitable: You need a stated 11–12 m hem, or you are buying because a title said double.
Specifications
Common questions
Will it cover a double?
The bullets say single and double beds at 230 x 800 x 60 cm. UK reviews include both a fit on a small double and a report that it could not cover a single.
What is it made from?
The material field says polyester.
Does it include a storage bag?
The page asks. The bullets do not list a bag.
BATSEREN lists a round hanging canopy at £7.19, and the bullets state 250 × 1100 × 60 cm while the dimension field says 10 × 10 cm and 10 g. There is no Customer Reviews line on the saved page, so the price is not backed by a star count. The bullets say installation hardware is not included, and the warranty field says no. Mesh fibre is not named, and no insecticide is stated. A single door is the stated opening. The rank in Baby Products does not tell you whether the hem covers your mattress. Until a review file exists and the size field matches the canopy bullets, you cannot check this size from the page alone.
Pros
Cons
Best for: You accept an unreviewed listing and you will supply your own hook after you measure the fabric.
Less suitable: You want UK review text, hooks in the box, or a size the page states only once.
Specifications
Common questions
Is installation hardware included?
No. The bullets say ceiling suspension is required and hardware is not included.
What size is it?
The bullets say 250 x 1100 x 60 cm. The item-weight and dimension fields say 10 g and 10 x 10 cm. Those figures do not describe a canopy.
Are there reviews?
The saved page has no Customer Reviews line.
Normodic states an open size of 190 × 90 × 90 cm and a storage bag, at £23.99, with 50D honeycomb mesh named on the listing. There is no Customer Reviews line, so the 90 cm height and the zip are untested in this file. The folded size in the bullets is 16.9 × 16.9 × 1.1 inches. The page asks whether it suits a double, while the bullets describe a single. It weighs 420 g, the heaviest pop-up here, and no insecticide is stated. At £23.99 it costs more than Guanici, which at least has 26 reviews and a shorter stated height. You are buying a printed single-bed box, not a crowd verdict.
Pros
Cons
Best for: You have measured a single against 190 × 90 cm and you accept a listing with no reviews.
Less suitable: You want UK review text before you pay more than the reviewed single pop-up, or you need a double.
Specifications
Common questions
Is it a double?
The page asks. The bullets give 190 x 90 x 90 cm and describe a single bed, dorm, or camping trip.
How do you fold it?
The bullets say folding takes seconds and the packed size is 16.9 x 16.9 x 1.1 inches. There are no reviews to confirm that.
Is there a bag?
Yes. The bullets include a storage bag.
Twelve amazon.co.uk listings are scored out of 100 from the pages saved on 21 October 2026. This is not a lab test. A drop, a hem, a window maximum, a door size, or a treatment counts only when that listing prints it. Stars are not a mesh size and not a malaria claim. None of these pages states an insecticide. Amazon evidence is the star line, then the review count. A large count with almost no saved United Kingdom text scores below a large count that includes UK notes. No Customer Reviews line scores 0 for the whole product. Listing fit rewards one size, stated once, with hardware named and the type matching the opening. A size field that fights the bullets, a shared model code, a title that disagrees with the bullets, or a maximum you cannot trim past, scores down. Review outcome rewards notes that match the job. Peel, a short magnetic strip, a size fight, a seam hole, a snapped support, or a hem that falls inside the door, scores down. The top pick is the highest score. Best value is the strongest price-and-count case among listings that have a review line.

Start with the opening, then the measurement, then whether the listing states a treatment. A hanging canopy, a pop-up, a window sheet, a framed window screen, and a door curtain are different products that share one search. Shelf prices in this capture run from about £7.19 to about £26.99. The top pick is the SMALUCK door screen. The best value is the MOEGFY three-pack. Nothing on this page is a mesh test in a lab, and none of these listings states an insecticide.
A mosquito net is a mesh barrier. UK shoppers use the same words for a hanging bed canopy, a pop-up sleeping tent, a cut-to-size window sheet, a framed magnetic window screen, and a magnetic door curtain. The job comes first. A dome does not cover a window, and a door curtain does not cover a mattress. A net works when the mesh is intact, the edge is tucked or sealed, and skin does not press the fabric. Fit for Travel notes that mosquitoes can bite through mesh where it touches the skin.
Cognitivex prints about an 8 m hem, and UK reviews disagree on whether it covers a double or even a single. FGen’s title says 12 m and the bullets say about 11 m. Measure the hem or the open length against the bed you sleep in.
Window reviews already say the strip or the tape ran short. Adhesive needs a clean, dry frame. MiLeJu and NeatiEase are sized to the frame, up to 120 × 130 cm and 100 × 130 cm. The glass is the wrong measurement.
None of these twelve pages states an insecticide. Guanici says chemical-free, which is untreated. A travel note on an untreated canopy is not a treated-net result. About 50% efficacy in the UK guidance is for treated nets.
Name the opening before the brand. A hanging canopy needs a drop and a hem you can tuck, and a hook the bullets actually include. The Twinkle Star hook kit states 2.5 m and 12 m, with hooks and a bag. The rope canopy states 2.2 m and 12 m, and it needs a hook that is already there. BATSEREN says hardware is not included, and its size field fights the bullets. A pop-up needs no ceiling hook. Guanici prints 200 × 80 × 56 cm. Normodic prints 190 × 90 × 90 cm and has no reviews.
TravelHealthPro cites bed-net holes no larger than 1.5 mm. The British Pest Control Association cites 1.2 mm for mosquitoes and 0.6 mm for midges on screens. None of these listings prints a hole size, so a fine-mesh claim is not a millimetre. No page states an insecticide. In malaria-endemic areas the public guidance is a treated net, tucked and intact, plus 50% DEET and prescribed tablets. That efficacy estimate is not a result for these ASINs. Read the UK notes with the count.
Three typical situations, each with a recommendation from this comparison.
The leaf is about 80 × 200 cm and you want to walk through without drilling. The SMALUCK magnetic door screen at about £13.99 is the top pick: 4.5 from 2,123 amazon.co.uk reviews, and reviewers say the magnets close after you pass. One UK review says it cannot be trimmed. Leave it if the door is a different size, or if you needed a window sheet or a bed net.
You have more than one frame inside 130 × 150 cm and you will press, and later replace, the tape. The MOEGFY three-pack at about £11.04 is the best value: 4.1 from 4,638 reviews, the largest count in this set. Reviewers say the supplied adhesive peels. Leave it if you want a framed magnetic edge or a printed hole size.
A hook can go above the bed and you want a stated hem rather than the word double. The Twinkle Star hook-kit canopy at about £24.99 states a 2.5 m drop and a 12 m hem, with a travel bag and hooks in the bullets, and 4.5 from 1,115 ratings. Only four saved reviews are marked United Kingdom. Leave it if you have no fixing point, or if you need an insecticide-treated net for a malaria-risk trip.
The top pick is the SMALUCK magnetic door screen, 80 × 200 cm, at about £13.99. It is the highest score: 4.5 from 2,123 amazon.co.uk reviews, and reviewers whose door matched say the magnets close after a walk-through. One UK review says it cannot be trimmed, hook-and-loop can leave residue, and the hem can fall inside the doorway. The best value is the MOEGFY fly screens for windows, a three-pack at about £11.04, with 4.1 from 4,638 reviews, the largest count in this set. The known limit is the tape, which peels for many reviewers. BATSEREN and Normodic score 0 because the saved pages have no Customer Reviews line. None of these scores is a laboratory mesh test, and none of these pages states an insecticide.
