So as some of you may know, I am new here and am in the market for my very first hammock. (Other than the poolside ones lol). I watched Shugs awesome video (Thanks again, very helpful) and read a whole bunch of posts
I am one of those consumers that needs to know a lot about a product before I make my purchase. After searching around I am noticing some differences between hammocks that may or may not be good or bad - and it raises questions.
For instance, I need a bug net with my hammock. Would you rather one attached to the hammock? Or one that can come completely off? I have been looking at a Skeeter Beeter Pro which unzips 80% of the way. They say to use it with out the bug net simply turn it over. Well does that pose any unforeseen problems that I am overlooking? Rippage? Stretching?
I guess my purpose for this thread is what should I be looking out for when purchasing a hammock. The do's and don'ts, the must haves and the must have nots. Any information that you may have. Maybe a personal experience where you purchased a hammock and then wished it did or did not have a certain feature. I tried doing a search through the forums cause I felt like this topic must have been covered before, but to no avail. Sorry folks if this is a repeat (I know how frustrating it can be).
