Nice report - your wife sure looks comfy. If you continue to have trouble with the tent top, there are a number of cheap tarp options. Even the hardware store "blue tarps" will work in a pinch.

Hope you get your hammock back from the wife. Happy hanging.

I love it!!! You're girl is one talented gal! And... Happy belated Birthday, too.

You could do a pull out (or pair of pull outs) a little above where the dimple is -- ah la:

Or... along the same lines at lonetracker's suggestion, you could add a pole (or two) to shape the tarp more -- ah la:

I bought some No-see-um bug netting from Seattle Fabrics (http://www.seattlefabrics.com/?gclid...FQEPbAodUHEMyw -- click on the Products button). There are a ton of other great fabric stores out there that are great and have awesome prices. See this to get a list: http://www.hammockforums.net/forum/s...ead.php?t=4182

Have fun and post pics as you go!
