Ok here is a very rough drawing and some photos...
Here is the sketch of the bug net with as much info as I can remember from making it.

Here is a screen capture from the video showing the detail of the open end of the bug net. It shows how the back side of the reinforcement panel is sewn to the bug net material.

This picture is of two reinforcement shapes we were considering. I ended up using the top pattern as a rough guide. Once I started sewing it up I made a few adjustments.

I have had a few questions about using the full width of the .5 NS50 NoSeeum folded over vs. having to sew two pieces of NoSeeum together with a seam at the ridge line of the bug net. IMO, the 9' - 6" hammock in the video is probably the maximum length before having to use 2 pieces of NoSeeum with a seam.
Let me know if you have any other questions.

Awesome!
Just ordered the stuff. I'm going to give this a shot.
MG,
In the drawing, it appears that 1/2 of the bottom edge line (toward the open end), is a heavier line. Does this indicate the sewn channel is only 1/2 the length of the bottom edge and the other 1/2 sewn closed?

Don't read too much into the line thicknesses on this drawing. It is merely a rough illustration. Any darkness/thickness of a particular line is only a product of me editing the contrast of the photo to make the lines show up better.
To answer your question...the closed/sewn end of the hammock only applies to the seam labeled with the number 4. The entire bottom of the bug net, labeled seam number 3, is the channel. The channel doesn't need to be that big because I used 1.3 mm (1/16") shock cord which is very tiny, light duty shock cord.
Does this answer your question?

Yes it does, thank you.

Spent the day yesterday making one of these for a hammock that I had already made out of Hexon 1.0.
I used 3 yards of the 0.5 nanoseeum, and it was the perfect length for a 100 inch ridgeline hammock. Even an inch or two to spare.
