I didn't notice that was ripped until after I installed it I guess it came that way it is very beautiful and very easy to install but if you have dogs or animals that sometimes frequent your bed just be warned that they might create a big holes in it trying to get out this is what happened to me is actually very functional and does work to keep the bugs and mosquitoes out while you sleep
I do think it could be made slightly more durable. The fabric is very said.
