Optimal Insect Protection for Cots and Ground Sleeping - This portable net tent provides a versatile, chemical-free barrier against mosquitoes and "no-see-ums," designed for military personnel, campers, and outdoor enthusiasts who require reliable protection without needing trees or overhead structures.
The Rothco Free Standing Mosquito Net Tent features a self-supporting A-frame design held upright by sturdy 8.5mm fiberglass poles. Constructed from extra-fine 100% polyester mesh (300 holes/inch²), it blocks even the smallest biting insects while maintaining maximum airflow for a comfortable night’s sleep. The durable polyester bottom floor protects against ground moisture and crawling insects, while the integrated side mesh pocket keeps essentials within reach. Its versatile footprint is specifically engineered to fit standard camping cots or function as a standalone shelter on the ground, packing down into a compact 15" x 6" carry bag for extreme portability.

Why It Matters Traditional mosquito bars require suspension from ceiling hooks or trees, which are often unavailable in the field or temporary shelters. This freestanding unit solves the rigging problem by providing a rigid frame, ensuring your protection stays upright and functional regardless of the surrounding environment.
How to Use / What Problem It Solves Solves the issue of insect-borne pathogens and sleep disruption in outdoor or tactical settings. To use, assemble the fiberglass poles and thread them through the sleeves to create the arch. Secure the base to your cot using the integrated straps or place directly on a flat ground surface.
