A good hammock for UK like weather(Denmark). A good wish for my birthday!

[Emil0509]

I will be using it en the summer, therefore i dont think warmth would be a problem. To compare the wheater its basically the same as in the UK, rains less though.

I am sure you guys know just the right hammock for my uses!

I want it to be afordable ( Im 14 years old - Not that much income for outdoor gear)
I want something that can take some use without breaking
Also water resistent
And a big bonus would be a musquito net.

Many thanks!
-Emil

Hi Emil, Welcome and enjoy the forum.

I like Tenth Wonder hammocks, good value for the money.

You are really looking at a tenth wonder or DD hammocks for a budget good quality hammock with net. I would'nt get a waterproof one as they dont breath unless of course you will use it on the floor a lot as a bivvy.

Hello Emil, welcome to the forum

Can you sew or anyone you know have a sewing machine?

It's a cheap option. Plenty of instructions over on hammockforums mate ! ( I'm just to embark on another DIY hammock project myself)

Like this..https://www.hammockforums.net/forum/showthread.php?t=40959

You can make a separate bug net, http://fronkey.com/how-to-make-gear/hammock-bug-net/

It's an option anyway mate, otherwise DD and Tenth Wonder are quite popular

Thanks guys ! They look nice, So if you should help me choose which would be good? I am 187-187 cm tall (only 14) so 2 meter minimum for the future!

The DD Frontline should be a good purchase for you, if you need to sleep on the floor take a piece of plastic sheeting.
