    The great folks at Dream Hammock did a good video.
    Not sure where you are at in the DIY stage? But this techniques works well.

    Ok I got one on now I can't get the other one on so it zips correctly.

    First time using zipper coil not a fan

    Remove second pull and try again.
    Zipping the first pull to the end. It'll align/join the zipper. Then backtrack a few inches. Then slide the second pull on.
    You need to keep alignment in check. Allowing any slack on either side of the coil will cause misalignment.

    It is a subtle trick. But it is in the video.
