    Will the Guardian Bug Net fit larger hammocks...?

    The SingleNest is (apparently) only 9-foot-4, and I assume that the Guardian was designed to fit that length of hammock. Will it fit a longer, say 11-foot hammock?

    You can set your structural ridgeline so your 11' hammock will be contained within the confines of the Guardian however, when my 11' hammock is set up for maximum OCDave comfort, it does not fit.

    Before I got a custom Fronkey style bug net for my BIAS I used the Guardian. I like an 118" ridge line so my hammock stuck out on each end of the Guardian. It didn't cause any problems with bugs getting in if the ends were closed around the hammock.
    Everyone ought to believe in something....I believe I'll go set up the hammock!

    Had a chance to do some camping out on the 10,000 islands the weekend before Christmas (*love* living in Florida)... here's my take now that I've got some experience with the Guardian.

    I agree that the Guardian bugnet barely covers the SingleNest. I think anything longer/bigger is going to stick out the ends, which I would imagine compromises the efficacy of the bugnet. That being said, it works *great* with the SingleNest!
