    How to use an UQP?

    Do I just hook the shockcord to the hammock suspension and snug the cordlocs until the UQP snugs up to the hammock?

    Thanks!

    Under Quilt Protector. A piece of light fabric to block the wind.

    I have the ZQ UQP. I found it a bit long for my hammock so I tied a knot in the shock cord ends, to make it about the right size.Then I wrapped them around the ends of my hammock. Then I used the cord locks in the middle to make the final adjustments.

    I'm sure there are other ways to do it, but this works for me.

    Depends on the length of the hammock. For my 11 footers I tie the shock cord around the whipping at each end of the hammock. For shorter hammock, I tie the cord to the suspension.

    Basically snug up the cord lock until it comes up to the hammock. My UQP is built large so I sometimes turn it into a sock by clipping together the edges.

    I was trying it on my Dangerbird 60 this last weekend.

    Any pics? I'm having a hard time visualizing it.

    Oh, now I went back and read your earlier post and I see you got it built custom in a large size.... Very cool.

    I like what you did there. How much larger is that over stock?

    This photo shows my UQP on a WBBB over a 20F HG Phoenix UQ. I hope it helps.
