There is an open mesh material maybe half inch thick made to lay under a
mattress to allow air to circulate, however it is quite expensive. It looks
somewhat like the washable mesh filters in HVAC systems. I have to believe
there is some sort of common building material similar to this, however I've
not yet found it.
I could also use a thinner sheet of such material. perhaps 1/8 to 1/4 inch
thick to line a locker used for storing a spinnaker.
Has anyone seen such material?
Thanks!

Try looking at the mat that is used under cedar shake shingles. It
sounds like what you are seeking.

I've done several google searches to no avail. Do you have a URL or a
product name to do the search?

Thanks.

an exceedingly wholesome thought, and one that may effect a
permanent change in your deportment that will be greatly appreciated
by your friends." - James S. Pitkin

Check with a roofer who does cedar shakes.

I looked at this stuff, but I think it's too thin and flimsy to do much
good, unless you use 4-5 layers. It's very thin, and they mold "dimples"
into it. I'm like you though, there has to be something else out there that
these guys just resell for boat use. The swamp cooler stuff might work, but
I think it's made of sisal or some organic fiber that might rot and stink.

no, I a referring to the stuff that is a mat of fibers. You nail the
shakes over it.

It's kinda like the stuff that they use under the top of the breather at
the crown of a continuously vented roof.

What about the fiber pads used in the rooftop evaporative coolers or "swamp
coolers" popular in the West?
