Thanksgiving on the Green

I'm thinking of throwing Thanksgiving dinner outdoors. It would be helpful to have some kind of netting or tent overhead to make sure nothing falls from the trees into the food. Anyone have good, cheap ideas?

you are in Florida… thin net would blow in the breeze too much…

ripstop nylon would be pretty cool and comes in many colors… or even tyvek (reasonably priced) can be dyed and easily sewn…

Why would you want to throw dinner outdoors after all the work you put into it?



It's almost go-home-time. I'm overworked, tired and in desperate need of a break.
