i was wandering around the neck to just make it say stable instead of that band?? would #9 wire or bailing wire work to like weave it in between your stiching there? since it would still keep it open or would it not look as good?

Yes on the first question. The neck should allow enough room for wind to come into the bag, and should have a plastic strip for stability and to use a grommet. If you don’t, the neck will wear over time.

do you cut two pieces of the Tyvek and sew the two pieces together? and if so how do you get the neck together?

Have you checked around? I’ve gotten a lot from Uline in the past but haven’t compared recent prices.

Hey gang, I read your post on building your own snow goose sillo socks and was wondering where you get the tyvek in small quantities like the author spoke of. I called the company listed, fibermark, and they said that 500 yrds by 40 inches was the smallest one could order. Some sources of where to get the material would be very nice, great information otherwise.

Thank you,
