    Looking for netted kids hammock

    Specifically, an 11 ft netted symmetrical hammock for my 7 year old son - to make side by side hanging with a spreader bar more comfortable...for me.

    I have an 11’ Raven, but his current 9’ Scout Zip, while nice, forces me to have some bad hangs while trying to side-by-side like he insists.

    It needs to be symmetrical because he flops around a bit. And I want the net to be fully zipped, so another Raven doesn’t quite work.

    Does the Dutchware Half Zip have a symmetrical net?

    For an easy/cheap option: Add a foot of cordage to either end of his hammock, then attach the spreader bars to the outside ends of that.

    The half zipped is symmetric if I understand your meaning. The bug net is sewn on one side and zipper on the other side. It can be unzipped and flipped over SRL then there are toggles to manage it.
    It is a nice lightweight hammock.

    I kind of do that already with the Dutch Beetle Buckles and tree straps, but I think it's the ridgeline in his hammock that's making things awkward.
