whats the length of the pro-pod..

 

[willie]

i think its 3 m

Most basha's are about 2.70 (or so) in length so you may find you will have to string it up on a its diagonal to cover your length. As an alternative, the hennessy hex fly for their hammocks is huge and would probably do the job.

I'd say imagination is the codeword. There's no rules on how to set 'em up other than they must protect against wind, rain, etc.

Yes they do and its a massive 3m with webbing loops like a basha.... they also do a mosi net aswell.

On a side note they have a new Jungle Pod comming soon ;-)
