DIY is by far the best value, and would be super easy for the 3 projects I suggest below. Straight(ish) stiching is all you'd need to know.
$22.75 - a great 11' (or, whatever length you want, up to just shy of 12') Hexon hammock, a shade more $ for the wide version, which I would recommend if you are 6' tall or more from MakeYourGear.com/Dutchware.com

@ $25 - Asym tarp kit from Dutchware - order 4 yds Xenon wide (on sale now for just $5/yd) and 1/2 yard of 300D pack, $1 worth of beastee D's and $2 worth of grosgrain, spool of thread to match = tarp.
@$21 of noseeum mesh = Fronkey bug net.
Straps - $3-5 depending on sale prices at Harbor Freight for their lashing straps and hacksaw off the metal part.

So, for around $70 you have everything but insulation covered!
For some odd reason, some things are less expensive/unavailable on the Dutchware site vs the Makeyourgear site, and vice versa. Check both, and order accordingly, or just call them to order it all at once.
