Side-by-side A Frame bug tent

I wanted a bug net that I could use together with my wife when hanging side-by-side with Dutch's double whoopie hooks. Also wanted a place for my dog to come in out of the bugs, so I decided on an A-frame style bug tent with a waterproof bathtub floor that would hang up underneath my tarp. I used flat felled seams everywhere for strength (except for the ridgeline - french seam bound by grosgrain there).

Concept:
111173

Materials list:

8 yards of NS50
Yukon Outfitters Walkabout Rainfly for the floor
~12' grosgrain for the ridgeline and floor stake loops
11' Zing-it for hanging under the tarp
Sleeping bag zipper from Joann's
Oxford patches for reinforcements at suspension pass-through points


Finished product:
111175
111176
111174

Thanks for taking a look! I'm really happy with the way things turned out, and I couldn't recommend the NS50 any more - very strong, great amount of stretch, soft feel, and easy to sew. Thanks, Kyle, for the great product, and thanks for the generosity in this giveaway!

I just placed an order before your post. It will deliver tomorrow. I should have waited so I could get the discount.

I ordered some NS50 about 2 months ago to make a bugnet. I actually finally got around to making it about 3 weeks ago.

It's a basic Fronkey style bugnet. I don't have a scale handy, but the weight came out just over 3oz.

Materials:
7 yds NS50
5 ft 1/8" shock cord
Cord lock

It was a simple project following Fronkey's instructions for the most part.

The only I would have done and might still do is add a mitten hook at each suspension hole to clip via 1/16" shock cords to the hammock's continuous loop to keep ends pulled taut on the RL. I would probably also shorten it up a bit.

The NS50 is an awesome netting. It's soft like silk without snagging heavily or feeling overly delicate.

I'll enter the ring:

Here is my latest Bridge Hammock.

Main Materials:
1.0 HyperD body
NS50 mesh bug net
2mm Ocean3000 cord for suspension.
#3 coil zipper

Weight is about 10oz. I use my LT4S trekking poles for spreader bar's.

The hammock has 2 side storage pocket's (which don't get much use, because my UQ is rectangular), and one head end storage pocket (which I really like) all accessible from inside the hammock. Also has a storage pocket for the bug net at the foot end of the hammock, with ties to secure it.

If I win I can set mine up. Just hanging loose right now.

The NS50 contest has now concluded and I will get on organizing a voting poll very soon. I don't really like the public vote via poll, so I'm looking for an alternative.....

Thanks to everyone for their submissions. May the best build win!

[ripstopbytheroll]

OK so I just tallied votes and the big winner is - BOSTON . Thanks to everyone that submitted a project and to all those who took time to vote in the contest!!!

If you didn't get in this go around, you should next time. It's fun to show off your stuff and you should be proud of it. Not everyone can do it after all. We should be doing some more stuff like this in the future for different things, so there will be other chances. Thanks!

[Eidson]

Nicely done and congratulations Boston!

Was a great idea Kyle. Look forward to your future ideas like this.

[MAD777]

Congratulations Boston! Well deserved! You are a great resource to this community!

[Boston]

Thanks everyone, and thanks Kyle for putting this on!

Now I just need to decide, do I want a new Tarp out of PU4000, or fabric for my next hammock iteration. Decisions, decisions...

[latriper]

Congrats Boston!

[gnomad]
