Hi I want to look into creating a mossie net for the door of my icarus 500, has anyone either already got the exact dimensions or has their tent up and could measure it.

I took a tape measure to the camping shop, so now I know what size net to buy.

Just thought to edit and add the dimensions in text to allow people to find it with google.

Vango Icarus 500 front door dimension (to allow making of a mossie net) top width 125cm, bottom width 150cm, height of door edge 203cm.

Wow you read my mind.
I came on the laptop about 4 hours ago to investigate the same thing. Got distracted looking at solar lights and power cables... blah blah blah... then came on here and spotted your thread! Thanks for reminding me, and now I have the measurements too!!!

Are you intending to attach with velcro?

Thanks again!

velcro is probably the only non intrusive way to attach, either that or pegs :)
