Thanks for the reply,

This is a really good vid, it's in 9 parts and covers different ways to construct a variety of ghillie suits

Scrim netting works well, you'll get scrim available in any decent military surplus store. Large, cheap and it's normally treated to be anti-rot.

i made one out of an old hooded jacet stiched on burlap and then the good stuff,only prob is over heating so that one will do for the winter,but im going to make another out of a light hoodie and pants for the summer

Any fishing shop or hardware even homebase should have something for you to work with. I've also seen people use "and don't laugh" the plastic from 6 pack beer cans stitched into the material but failing all that it's not that hard to create a net.

Ha Ha I know mate but honestly it does work, The lad that made it still uses it and its lasted longer than most others ha ha I suppose its down to what you have to hand. It doesn't take long to put a basic net together in the first place.

To be honest, I havent a clue how to make a net! Im usually great at those types of things but I have a complete blank about that one!

You could buy a sniper veil.
Or scrim netting, as mentioned, works just as well. Readily available on ebay and any army surplus.
