So my next question is...


Does anyone know where I can get 10' of mesh webbing?

I can't seem to find anything yet

I'd still be very cautious with webbing, she still could get her arm/leg tangled in it. I would try to line it with canvas or something similar.
If it itches. scratch it

How about that plastic mesh for screen doors? I've used it for all kinds of stuff, including seats.

Good point! Seattle fabrics also has dive mesh - the stuff used to haul scuba gear. It the openings are pretty small in it.

I have the perfect netting. It's paintball net. Very tight weave yet 70% light transmission and will stop a .60 marker round fired at 350 fps at <15 ft. Just in case.LOL. But seriously send me your dimensions through my www. link and I'll send you a hank of it. Oh- and it can be cut sewn, etc without unraveling.

This place is 15 minutes from my house!! Sounds like a good place to start!

Mark McD - I may take you up on that it sounds like that may work too. I'll see what I can find at Seattle Fabrics and let you guys know.
