    I'm interested in seeing details on the bottom closure works. By me it has to seal up tight or the little buggers will get in.

    Instead of the shock cord closure you could sew on omni tape or velcro.

    Hey Z, 3 yards is only 9 feet, is your hammock short?
    Minus your hems is 8'-10", give or take. Set up your hammock and measure before you cut.

    Personally, I prefer a full coverage net, I don't want a chance skeeters can find their way in. Maybe a full sock with zipper entry?
