    what did we decide about fronkey and wide hexon?

    what's the consensus on the fronkey bugnet with Dutch's new wide hexon? good fit?

    I can't see this net working. I have with a 58 inch hammock and it is TIGHT, almost to the point on affecting the lay.

    Eh, hyoh.

    I've been using a much wider hammock and uq all last year with an 11' fronkey net. Keeps bugs out, still easy in and out of the bottom.

    I would imagine loosening the draw cord at the bottom would allow as wide a net as possible.
    Look up before you hook up!!

    Some depends on how you lay but you would have to lay almost perpendicular to not make it so the net wouldn't make it to the hem . It is 50 inches from the ridgeline to the bottom elastic.

    All my hammocks are 58" or wider and I have no issue. I think you have the bottom cinched up too tight. I don't even cinch the bottom of my Fronkey net.
