    Overlapping coverage past a tree.

    Hey everybody,

    I'm trying to figure out a way to extend coverage from the hammock are to cooking and relaxing areas in bad weather. Has anyone had any success in a three-tree setup and preventing a gap?

    O-Hammock-O-Cooking/Sitting-O

    I have a Superfly and I was thinking if the trees were just the right distance I could have the edge of it pretty close to the tree, and could use the doors to extend coverage past the trunk. On the other side I would put up another Superfly (or similar model) and I'd be able to get from my sleeping area to my sitting and cooking area in extended bad weather.

    Anyone seen this done or know of any solutions?

    Hey Shug! I didn't expect a reply from you I feel all blessed and what not now.

    We use our poles or sticks to do porch mode, but I'd like to really do more space. Like a suite in the woods So two porch modes or a-frame modes, but overlapping so you can go from one to the other without getting wet.

    Hickery and I have done that. Not sure how to tell you to do it but three trees and some extra line helps.
