Anyone have experience they can pass along regarding use of an UQP on a WBBB? My real questions revolve around use of the UQP with the tie outs. If you don't use the tie outs do the sides sag in on you too much?
I'm looking at the 2QZQ UQP for what it's worth.
Thanks in advance.

some people dont even use the tie outs and some do, it depends on how the bugnet sags and if you need to use them or not,, the tie outs dont really get in the way of the uqp and using an uqp is a good idea for soo many reasons, you shouldn't have any problems using it with your tie outs.
2QZQ's UQPs have a shock cord on all sides. The shock cords on the head and foot ends are the ones that are used to hang the UQP. The shock cords on the sides can be used to cinch up all the fabric, to get the desired grade of protection. There's a tiny cord lock on each side for that purpose. It works similar to an underquilt - and you don't need to use the tie-outs of your hammock to make an underquilt work.
Yes. I made one for my BB XLC. They are very nice to have and I bring it on every outing.
I have pockets sewn throughout it and have the UQ suspension integrated into it. Helps alot when using a sock or bug net, eliminates having to crawl inside to attach the UQ. The internal suspension consists of 1/8 shock cord, line loc 3s, and mitten hooks.
Finished lenth was around 9 ft and width was 5ft but I added a section to give it a footbox.
Sorry I missed this question. jcreamer if you are still looking for an answer.
The first breathable UQP was designed around or on the WBBB 10' hammock. The fit is perfect with or without the hammock tyouts.
Here are some of the picts of revision 2 I took when asking 2QZQ to make the first breathable UQP.

There is a very old thread around here somewhere when the forum helped with the design details.
