Add shock cord channel to the sides of RSBTR uq?

[Oldskewl]

I ordered the diy full length uq with 3.6 climashield insulation from ripstop by the roll and the instructions only call for shock cord on the head and foot ends of the uq with cord locks. I was wondering if I should add a channel with shock cord on the sides to help cinch it, maybe a snugger fit. Or is it snug fit with just the ends? I'm putting it on a War Bonnet XLC. I'm kinda new to the diy ( only made double end stuff sacks, tarp skin) so I may be just overthinking it. Lol. Any advice would be appreciated.

Here's a post that "may" help a bit.

Thanks for the link. I think I might build it per instruction, except add a loop on the right side to meet the loop I have on my WB XLC under the shelf. It should work fine as far as staying snug to my hammock. If not, then I guess I'll go back to the drawing board. This will be my "cool summer night" uq, so there isn't any risk of freezing to death. Lol.

For what it's worth, I made one exactly like that and it snugs up just fine.

I've got it 90% finished. The only thing different is that I used ripstop on the ends for channels instead of grosgrain. I wish I would have built that in at the beginning, but it looks fine and will work all the same. I'll show pics when I'm done for anyone who is interested.
