SYMBOLS FOR TYPES OF INSTALLATION |
| |
|
|
 |
Single-point suspensions: Bell nets are easy to install as they are simply suspended from a hook over the middle of the bed. Care must be taken to ensure that the net does not fall close to arms, feet etc. |

Multi-point suspension: Box nets require at least four suspension points above the bed but provide a great deal of internal space. Contact with any part of the body is unlikely. |
| |
|

 |
Free-Standing Mosquito Nets: These nets can be set up anywhere on your bed or over your sleeping area. This way, you no longer need to search for where hang up the net when you´re travelling. |
