Attaching bugnets to homemade hammock
I use a fine meshed tulle (wedding veil) as mosqutio netting. I have soaked the net in permethrin to stop the noseeums. So far it has worked well.YMMV. I decided to use this instead of noseeum netting because it is so much lighter. I've used it for over a year with no rips in it. If you remember, my hammock uses a spreader pole to open it in the center. This keeps steady tension on the sides and keeps the undercover tight. I simply tuck the netting between the hammock and its cover to form a tight seal. The pole and ridgeline keep it well off my face. For some reason I've gotten to the point that I don't like to peel velcro in the middle of the night. I'm sure it only sounds really loud to me but it really breaks the "spell" on clear, quiet nights. In the end, whatever works best for you is what's best. Good luck and know this... there is no cure for the DIY bug bite.:~)
