How do you keep the mesh veil as shown on the picture. Do you have to use another hat or wire frames?

No, the hood has some stiffness to it to keep its shape. The mesh is integrated with the hood and the mesh stays several inches from the face.

We have several of these suits and do not use any other head gear with them. The veil is heavy material except the on the face which protrudes forward far enough for protection. While I haven't tried, I imagine you could use a hat or ball cap for a little more peace of mind.

I purchased a large size screen material and sewed a continuous loop on all four sides. I slipped a continuous 2" PVC pipe in the top and bottom loop only. the sides were just in case and they also help prevent a tear. The top is supported by hooks and the bottom is hung by gravity only and seems to keep out wrinkles. the continuous pipe also helps reduce it from blowing in the wind. hope this is helpful.

The rain gets through the mesh a bit, but it depends on how much rain. For most of us, it wouldn't be a problem. Once, in a real downpour, I put a plastic bag over the hat...my wife laughed a lot, but I stayed quite dry. Or you could just wear the plastic bag? I like that the hat does a better job of keeping the rain off my glasses. The mesh helps with the heat and humidity here in Florida's summers.

You have to secure the dome down using the ring. Look at the directions and it will explain how to do this.

I would recommend making a frame. The material is a bit too soft by itself. I made frames and covered them with burlap and they turned out great! Cheers.

I use a twin comforter and dust ruffle. Make sure you get a dust ruffle that is split in the corners to go around the legs of the frame.

I haven't had problems with the brim of my hats.I found it's best to wash them either by them selves or with just a few other clothes. Not a full load. I then remove the top portion of the plastic cage & let them air dry using the bottom half to retain their shape.

The second-to-largest ring is best for adult hats, I find. Seems to fit almost everyone. BTW if you're worried about fit, try alternating 3/3 knit/perl rows, gives is it sort of a cinnamon bun look and lots of stretchiness.

It is basically a baseball cap, but with lights for night vision and led white lights. It can be worn anytime or anywhere. I am not aware of a mesh panel on the hat. It is made of good quality.

Sorry it has taken so long to respond to this question. It sounds like you have a 'twist' in the frame. This can be fixed. You need to follow the frame from the top of the tent down to where you feel the frame begin to twist and work the twist in the opposite direction until it pops back into shape. The shade should be as good as new.

You could with some adjustments, mainly a different connector to allow the other cage to connect to the first one. The wire mesh should easily be configured to wrap around the entire thing, there are plenty of wire ties.

I attached with wire, since I'm using it to protect a part from hot exhaust. A fancier way is to get metal zip-ties. I'm not sure if you have this yet, but it's basically like real thick foil with fluff in the middle with a hemmed edge. You can kind of mold it to a shape but it's not stiff enough to hold on to something with just doing that.

I did the same thing. It is very well hidden. It's on one of the sides and I have to run my finger up and down each seam till I did the zipper head. So I just put a. Safety pin on it. To make it stand out a bit more

Instructions should have accompanied the wall mesh covers. If not you just have to open the walls and make sure the windows open from the bottom. You should then have across the top Velcro straps which you attach to the top of your canopy frame. There are straps going down the sides of the wall which need to be attached to the legs. Attach the other three walls in the same way. Each wall has two sides with zippers. Hook the zippers together so they zip from top to bottom. The 4th was has no windows just one long zipper in the middle. Attach it in the same way. I hope this makes sense and it works for you. If you have any questions let me know.

Thank you for the reply, but I was referring more to the mesh itself if it is fine enough to keep very tiny bugs out.

I happen to live in Hawaii, so don't know if it is the heat and humidity that helps to go back to default shape. I have a smaller brim hat that I have used for travel for several years. I have this hat hanging up right now unrolled just in the circle with velcro and it seems to have gone into the correct shape by itself. Maybe a light spray of water to soften and then shape? Sorry no real answer.

I would use metal poles with in ground sleeves. 2 inch or larger square tubing. Also guy wires under and over the sail will keep the sail from taking off.
