Bug net for companionway

Has anyone fabricated a bug net for their companionway on their 23? If so, wondering if you'd share your approach -- did you make it yourself? Order it? I don't believe Com-Pac sells them, but perhaps I'm mistaken. Please enlighten me! Thanks!

On my 19 I just have a large piece of no-see-um screen and lay over the companionway.  On windy nights I'll lay the extra anchor chain on it to keep it in place. Or, and this works surprisingly well, I use it instead of a bedsheet.

I made a frame that matched the the dimensions of the top drop board and put a screen in it.  You would still have to jam a pool noodle in the area between the top of the drop board and the sliding hatch to seal it off.  I have an insert screen for my forward hatch and all the side ports have screens. Have a pic somewhere will post it when I find it.

Thank you so much, Carl, brackish, and TopsailB for your recommendations! Brackish, I've got the inserts, too, for the portholes and the forward hatch from Com-Pac -- they work great!
