    What kind of help? Do you already have a BMBH? Regular or UL?

    It might be my imagination, but the original seems to me to be just a tad longer than the UL.

    Spreader bar to bar is 7' and suspension ring to ring is 9'6" ish depending on the hang angle.

    That 9'6" is the outer ring to ring distance on my original, non-zip version. Pan chimed in once to tell me that it is a few inches shorter on the zip model, or else there will be too much tension on the net. Don't remember the exact figures.
    But on the UL model ring to ring is 8'9" once it is hung from the trees with correct tension. Again, don't know if the zippered full weight model is identical with the new UL model.

    I just measured on the UL model laid out on my bed. It was ~ 80" from one end cap ( along the bottom length of the hammock) to another and 27 1/2" from left top end cap to right. And spreader bars were 32", about 1" wider than those on my original.

    The original non-zip is about 1" longer, and also about 27 1/2" wide across the top end cap right under the spreader bars. It is also wider(deeper), but I did not yet measure width.
