Outdoor mosquito net?

It's that time of the year again ... mosquito season!
We love sitting outside our truck camper in the evenings but hate the bugs.

We have very limited storage space in our truck and truck camper so we haven't bought a pergola-type solution with bug screen yet ... but what else can we do? I'm thinking it would be perfect if we could just walk into Home Depot and buy a few meters of bug screen 'curtains' to attach to our awning. But, does this exist or are we stuck buying a pergola-type thing?

Thanks,

Jorn

    X3 on the fan - I use an oscillating fan under my awning. Works great. I also set up a screen tent and drag the picnic table into it. But after a few hours, it's filled with bugs - go figure.
  • I was reading about non-toxic mosquito repellent and the No. 1 suggestion was a fan -- so agree with the above posters, try that -- it might keep you bite-free and a bit cooler as well, and be a lot easier to set up than curtains.
