I've made a prototype of a new bridge bugnet. The hammock was purchased from Mikeinfhaz for my girlfriend's daughter (but Amity is modeling for these photos). I was trying to make a simple to operate bugnet.bugnet_side.jpg
This one uses cord locks attached to the netting corners that slide along tightly strung spectra cords. The overlap in fabric causes the closure, zippers or velcro are not used.bugnet_opening.jpg
It is permanently attached at the sides and has elastic webbing sewn into a channel along each inner edge of the bugnet. The closure looks secure. It still needs field testing to see if it is easy for a youngster to open and close, as well as slip in and out of without complications.bugnet_top.jpg
The concept is really like a pair of curtains. I even included a snug fitting "valance" to keep the head and feet ends of the bugnet sealed.bugnet_open.jpg
