underquilt on a Fronkey Style bugnet?

[GopherHanger]

I have no problem putting my UQ on the hammy with my Fronkey bugnet on.

I can stand there and put the suspension over the hammock end knob on one side and clip in the other side to the CL. When standing next to the hammock just pull the net over you so you're standing there in the same place. Nothing changes since the whole thing surrounds you anyways.

It's quite easy once you realize the open bottom is open when the net is on whether you're standing there or not. 2 times and you'll have no problems. The bottom "seals" against the UQ but remember it's not actually connected.

Thanks I will give a try , good to know it may not be as bad as I thought !

I use this system for my son's hammock. It's not really as bad as it may sound. It's not the most convenient setup, but it is do-able.

Your Fronkey bug net doesn't go over your underquilt.
You should have your Fronkey on your hammock and your underquilt is adjusted against both your hammock and fully deployed bugnet.

I use my DIY fronky bugnet over my UQ just like fronkey demonstrates in his introductory video. I just am careful not to tighten so much that it compresses the insulation.
Never though if tucking it in sound like it works.

Interesting, I've never had my Fronkey over my UQ.
You may want to try it out the way I do mine, it may work a little easier for you.
Fully deployed Fronkey and adjust your underquilt afterwards.

Does it make it difficult to get in and out? Or is it easy to tuck back in?
I would say on the outside is very easy, never gave it a Second thought.
Out of curiosity I'm gonna try the tucked in when it is bug season again here.

Never had a problem before.
Loosen the cinch cord up as much as possible, get in hammock as normal, get comfortable and cinch it shut.
I would say just be sure the opening is open as much a possible whenever you're getting in and out.

I modified my F.B.N. by putting a slit on the head-end of the bugnet, maybe about 3ft. Then I added velcro along the edges of the slit. Add extra stitches above and below velcro to stop slit from widening. Now I can keep BN attached and after hanging the hammy, open the head-end of BN, slide it towards the foot end, attach UQ and slide it back to the head-end and seal. I keep it pushed out of the way until I hit the rack.
