Undid the shock cord on the two middle flaps to use for this project. Made a knot halfway on the continuous shock cord that goes through the hammock to carabiner(also put channel locks on the outside continuous cords at both ends for easy adjustment). Left over shock cord that comes with UQ is secured to corners and goes up and through the knot to keep UQ pulled taught at the ends so it doesn't sag and bunch in the middle. Shock cord that goes through the UQ to close the ends is actually though the inside of the fabric, will probably buy some ripstop and make a channel and sow it on eventually but got trigger happy and wanted to get it done. Hopefully this illustrates the function.

As opposed to the way it comes leaving large gaps.

I understand that this will eventually compromise the structure but it was $50 and will get me though a couple seasons until I can graduate to the good stuff!
Hope this work for you or at least gives you some ideas ; )
