Cottonwood Trees and the Seeds
Will be parked in the middle of a bunch Cottonwood Trees this summer. Need ideas that have worked to try and keep the seeds out of the roof a/c.
Thanks!

Maybe you could adapt something like this https://www.amazon.com/Sturdy-Covers...dDbGljaz10cnVl
This one is cut to fit and specifically mentions cottonwood! https://www.amazon.com/Permatron-Fil..._t2_B06Y4TKCGMLast edited by Fsalmy; 05-07-2021 at 04:53 PM. Reason: Added another link

That screen sounds like a good idea.
We stayed at a campground once with those darn trees and I ended up having to remove the AC covers to clean the fins. What a hassle. And we were only there a week. The permanent folks had built wooden cages with screens to keep the tree trash out. Of course, many of those folks never bothered to clean those tho - go figure...Larry KE4DMG

The screen(s) sound like a good idea to me, too. Cottonwoods do offer some good shade. If you have the option of cutting any down, don't burn the wood! It smells worse than an army latrine burn pit...

Thanks for all suggestions.
I have purchased some material from a fabric store.
It is very similar to netting.
I was able to purchase in a large size.
I'm going to tie it around the whole a/c and hold in place with some small
diameter cord.
The a/c cover is a little flimsy and I think the above will work.
If not, back to the drawing board.
I'll try to report back with some images.

This stuff came plenty big.
This is a no sew project.
Cost was cheap.
Use it and then throw away.
