I've been meaning to get to this for some time but kept dragging my feet, mostly b/c I was afraid it wouldn't work, but it appears as tho' it has. I haven't put my bug net on yet but I'm pretty sure it would work, however, my primary reason for this is to use it in the house.
I just laid in the hammock and marked the hammock at my shoulder and at my feet. Then knocked together a couple of little pockets out of grosgrain and sewed them on. Next, I fitted the pole and that was that mission accomplished. It seems to have reduced shoulder squeeze and I don't have to tie off to any furniture or drive a nail into the floor for a mooring point. Anyway here's some photos and a a video (as soon as it publishes).
