So is it basically a diamond fly with ends and beaks? Or is there something I'm not seeing?

To Boldly Hang Where No One Has Hung Before...
Diamond fly, beaks, 4 walls, mesh ventilation under the beaks, omni tape down the door closures. Lots of tie-outs and stake-outs. Silnylon.

Thats what I thought, thanks. Gotta find some sil.
To Boldly Hang Where No One Has Hung Before...
1. Loosely tie the ridge lines to the trees. Center the tent.
2. Use a single stake to stake both door flaps straight down from the ridge.
3. Adjust the ridge line to maximize the height.
4. Stake the side corner cords.
5. Stake the corners directly below the corner cords.
6. Use a stick to support the side corner cords up so that the side walls are lifted taught.
7. Tie the beaks. (Tie the cord to one side of the beak. Thread the string through the other side and then tie to the tree.
8. Now hang your hammock.

Thanks for the info Smee.

Old thread? yes. Now that you have some more experience with the hammock hut lets hear some reviews
The HH is a great piece of gear. It's not something I carry if I am doing distance hiking. It great for car camping and hikes where I am setting up in one location for a few days. It provides complete privacy and great wind protection as well as tons of room under the tarp. Great for cooking or just hanging out. I have used the tarp in wind gusts of up to 22mph with no problems. Never had any condensation issues when the tarp is closed up.
The ridge line of the tarp tarp could be a bit longer. It's 10'3" length (I think) has covered all my hammocks so far but without a lot of room to spare. The tarp also does better when setting up on fairly level ground. It also requires extra stakes and more guy lines than your normal tarp, which adds to the overall weight.
