Thanks again everyone.
Dutch has been helping me also through some PM's and it all starting to come together for me now.
If I was to use a zipper and wanted it to be removable I would have to use a pre-made seperating zipper. While reading a post for someone who was making a HH with removable bug net and cover I was wondering why he kept trying to find matching sleeping bags and using the zippers. Dutch just explained why as that is the only way to get a long pre-made zipper
So the idea pops in my head
I can use a regular non-seperating zipper and attach one side to netting or the cover material. Then attach velcro to the other side. The other side of the velcro can then be attached to the hammock. That way netting or full cover can be velcroed on one time at set up and not have to be fussed with every time you get in or out of the hammock and you still have the ease of using a zipper. Yes, it will add a little weight to the overall count, but I am already 220lbs and I would be better off shaving oz. of body weight instead of worrying about a hammock oz.
What do you all think????
