I think sometimes these projects can get more complicated than they really need to be. When I set out to diy my hammock, integrating the bugnet got very confusing. Everyone seemed to have a pattern or some kind of math involved. When it came down to building it, I decided to make it very simple. After hemming, I sewed the zipper the entire length of one side. I then sewed tieouts to each side and installed the ridgeline temporarily. I set up the hammock, staked out the tieouts with shockcord and threw the entire amount of noseeum over the hammock. I then began pinning it in place where I wanted it. Once I was happy, I simply cut the bugnet, leaving about 1/2" all the way around, to make sure I had room for stretch. I took it all down, removed the ridgeline and whipping, and sewed it up. It was way easier than I could have imagined. What I was worried about, was really nothing to worry about at all. Here is the a link to it.
