Outdoor picnics, the classic Aussie pastime, often come with unwelcome guests like flies and insects. Keeping them off your food is crucial, and the solution might lie in reusable mesh screen food covers. Available in vibrant red and blue, these tents promise protection against these invaders. So, how do they perform?
Mesh screen food covers, often dubbed ‘food tents’ or ‘umbrella covers’, have been a staple for many outdoor events. These covers, especially the reusable ones, are not only environmentally friendly but are also cost-effective in the long run. The red and blue variants, in particular, can be quite aesthetically pleasing, adding a dash of colour to your picnic setup.
One of the main advantages of using these covers is their lightweight and easy-to-use design. Simply pop them open and place them over your food, ensuring everything from sandwiches to salads is safe from pesky flies and other insects. The netted design allows for visibility, ensuring you can still admire your food without the interruption of unwanted pests.
However, no product is without its shortcomings. While these tents are great for static events, in windy conditions, they might need to be anchored down. Furthermore, due to their mesh nature, they may not provide 100% protection against minute particles or very tiny insects.
