I bought my fabric, sold by the yard, at an outdoor supply outlet. Look for this screen at REI & other similar outlets selling tents, backpacking gear, etc. It's soft, but sturdy, not at all stiff. Mine was a soft gray-green color which "disappears" when looked out thur from inside the van. >> It's interesting how the term "no see em" has changed from the original idea of not being able to see through the netting from outside a tent, to where it now refers to tiny flying insects.
