Two hammocks - One set of trees.

Nice writeup....
I'm looking to do something similar so I can cram both kids under one tarp. My trouble is that they'll need to be head-to-foot because the bugnet zippers are on the same side (left lay I think, zipper on the right). They're small enough for now I think this will still work. I may still have some webbing loops like that with the installed grommets from an old backpacking tent I salvaged. Time to look through the junk bin.

Hmmm, I've always had mine pointing in the same direction and they're both right lay hammocks. I think I'll try the head to foot when I get home to see how that works.

Apart from Smokehouse's Honeymoon Suite, what tarps do people use to cover 2in1 hangs? I have a woodman x and dd traveller to cover.... in the past i've used 2x alpkit rigs but its a pain to set up and often there's an ensuite shower at some point as a pool is created and discharged..... cheers all richard

Nicely done and ingenious too.

We are using a Chinook 12X9.6. We fit nicely under it. Have not tried to put doors on it because we are in SoCal and it never gets too cold and we do not know what rain is!! LOL... But if we find a need I am sure that we can muster up something in the way of a door at the head end and just fold the foot end closed. We do have a small extension to fit on the side if we find a need. But so far we have not needed it.

We have found that since she is a righty and I am a lefty that our comfort zone has use with our zippers on opposite sides on the hammocks we use with zippers. My main hammock is a Hennessy with the "birth canal" entrance so there is no trouble at all. I imagine that you could put a spreader on both ends but have not tried it. This is so inexpensive that with the needed parts you will have lots of extra left to make 4 attaching strips and 2 bars. Let us know if you try it and if it works...
