I am planning on doing a few of these for my kids and myself. I plan on having them run over the ridge line. I picked up 6 yards a 108" wide tulle. That should give me enough to go over the ridgeline, and still be able to drape down past the hammock.
I was just thinking that instead of the bungee under the net, just sew in a small rock pocket and let gravity make a seal for you. BUT (there's always a fatal flaw in my plans) would that create a gap across your waist for the bloodsuckers to get in?
I've got version 2 in the works. I add a flap for the waist and an elastic band that snugs everything. It works great. I'll post an illustration in a new post.

They were in the store. I used tan, but black was available too.
I made one of these this morning using this:

I used the weights vs. shock cord and it seems to work - easy to tuck into UQ and it rolls up to the size of a baseball (very light too). No bugs here until April so testing will continue then. My only concern is how well it will breath to vent heat (or will the Wal-Mart window panel be to hot in the summer).
Thank-you very much for posting these plans. A great bug net for under $5. This brings my DIY hammock system to the same capabilities as my HH.
