    Tarp/bug net combo

    I'm sure someone must have done this. Basically the idea is that the bug net would be attached to the bottom of the tarp and draping down around the hammock. Could use a fronky closure method at the bottom or zip side entrance.

    If anyone's done this or seen this, has it worked well? Good or bad idea? Any other comments appreciated.

    Yes that's exactly like what I was thinking, except for my tarp shape. Anyone ever use one or have one? What is your experience with one? Thanks

    I found this on REI outlet. Looks a little small and a lot spendy!

    The Hammock Bliss sky tent is a tarp with bugnet but the tarp looks kind of small for the bugnet.

    I'm working on an upgrade of this to address that concept. Ordered the fabric yesterday.
