Our mosquito nets can be easily set up in the room. And thanks to the rubber band in the hem, they can be quickly and securely attached to the mattress. Here we list a few simple tips & tricks – and the assembly is done in a few minutes. And no drilling needed. We promise!
How to hang the pyramid shaped mosquito net
The pyramid shaped mosquito net is very easy to set up. A hook or nail on the ceiling is all you need to hang it up using the carabiner supplied. If there is no hook or nail on the ceiling, the net can also be hung without drilling.
For this we recommend the Tesa Powerstrip adhesive hooks, which you simply stick to the ceiling. If there is no possibility of hanging anything from the ceiling, we recommend simply stretching a cord diagonally across the room over the bed (you can e.g. tie it to lamps or pictures) and hooking the carabiner into it.
Tesa adhesive hooks for a convenient installation
Since there are sometimes no hanging options when travelling, we recommend always having a few adhesive hooks from Tesa with you. These can be quickly attached to the ceiling and removed without leaving any residue. Here is a link where you can order it from Amazon.
How to hang the cube shaped mosquito net
Our cube-shaped mosquito nets work a little differently in structure.
These have 6 tabs on the upper edge, to each of which you can attach a cord for extension. You should use at least the four tabs on the corners of the mosquito net to maintain the functional shape of the net. The ends of the cords are then attached to hooks on the ceiling or other objects such as mirrors, lamps or pictures in the room. Since the weight is spread over several places, there is little weight on each individual suspension. Of course you can also use the adhesive hooks here.
If none of this is suitable for fastening, we recommend that you tie the respective ends of the cords into loops and tie them with a piece of adhesive tape, e.g. to stick on a closet or on a wall (it is best if you put two strips of tape like an X). The cube shape can be hung on it and then comfortably stretched over the bed. Sounds adventurous, but works really well.
Here, too, installation is easier using Tesa Powerstrip adhesive hooks.
How to attach our nets to the bed
Our mosquito net can be quickly attached to the bed. Simply stretch the bottom end of the net over the mattress like a fitted sheet using the expander. It is helpful to stretch one corner at a time so that the expander is not overstretched. The expander can be pulled together under the mattress.
Check that everything fits perfectly and is securely enclosed. This ensures that your net offers optimal protection against annoying insects and guarantees you a restful night’s sleep.
When getting in and out of bed, always make sure that the zip is closed completely so that no insects can get inside. The large zip is easiest to close if you hold it with one hand so that it is taut.
The net should be attached to the mattress so that the side zips are approximately parallel at shoulder height. This ensures easy access to the bedside lamp or remote control, for example, without having to detach the expander from the mattress. We always found this very practical at night.
Be careful when entering and leaving the mosquito net at night. It is easy to trip in a dark room. It is helpful to open the zip generously up to the mattress so that you can leave the net safely.
How to wrap and pack our mosquito nets
The cube-shaped mosquito net can be easily folded up like a blanket and stored back in the bag. The bag supplied with a practical zip fastener is deliberately slightly larger so that you can easily pack the mosquito net back into the bag.
The pyramid-shaped mosquito net has a flexible tension ring. To fold it, you need to turn it in opposite directions with both hands. Similar to wringing out a damp towel. This causes the tension ring to collapse.
The net is then wrapped around the folded tension ring. This prevents it from unfolding again. You can see how to fold the ring correctly in this video. With a little practice, it’s quick and easy to do.

In this video, we show you step by step how to fold your pyramid-shaped mosquito net with the flexible ring correctly and store it in a space-saving manner.
The tension ring ensures stability when hanging, but requires some practice when folding.
With these instructions, you can easily and safely pack your GlisGlis travel mosquito net compactly for transport.
