Scoops,
If you need any further advice while making it just ask. Remember the instructions are for the basic model, you can add all sorts of extras - mozzie nets,dump pockets, pad pockets, etc,etc.
Good luck.

Neil,
have you got any advice on attaching a mozzy net to a hammock?
I've got a very cheap but good hammock (for all the Dutch members: 10 euros, they are sold at ANWB-winkels all over Holland. They come in a small bag and are a good bargain) and have a separate impregnated hammock mosquito net. However, the mosquito net is open on the underside and I have to use 5 clamps to get it to shut (and then it's still not 'mosquito-tight'...). Furthermore it's white and I rather have a dark one for better sight through the mesh.
So how do you do it?
My idea was to sew the mozzie net material to three sides of the hammock and make some kind of entrance of the fourth side either with a zipper or a strip of velcro. Than some loops must be added in the middle of the mozzie net so I can attach it to an overhanging line to create 'tent space'.
But, so far, I haven't tried it yet and maybe you have better ideas as you already have made these things before.
I am very curious to hear of your solutions on this and, if you don't mind, an online introduction lesson into the other 'extra's' would be fine with me!
Thanx in advance, Galemys
