    Wanted: Pattern for integrated bug netting for a cinched end hammock.

    I really like my cinched end hammock and I have made a Fronkey Bug net for it, but I would really like to reduce some of the bulk and use an integrated bug net instead.

    I have searched and searched and haven't found any plans or patterns for a cinched end hammock with the integrigated bug net.
    Could use some help.

    Thanks,
    Loko

    DIY Gear Supply has a good basic guide. Adjust the dimensions as necessary. Also check out XTrekker's series on attaching bugnets on youtube. XTrekker's method for sizing out the bugnet never really worked for me, so I sort of hybridized the two designs.

    Thanks, Sandman. I like the camo netting, it would match my camp hammock.
    But I'm more interested in a pattern to make one that zips on and off to the hammock itself.

    Oh, I understand. I can't recall seeing anything like a pattern. I think partly because it would be specific to that hammock (due to varying lengths & widths) and also because it's a realm that many cottage vendors do business in.

    These are just the different methods with which I personally have been successful in making removable-net hammocks. There are about a million other similar projects detailed in the Do-It-Yourself forum. You might want to check out XTrekker's video series on more general techniques for making DIY integrated-net hammocks, as well as jellyfish's detailed videos on how she made her Nova hammock. In some cases, previously reported integrated-net projects can be converted to removable-net designs just by changing to separating zippers, so those construction methods will still be relevant to you. Also, if you read these threads you will see posts in these threads from many members here who say they have built similar removable-net hammocks but have yet to post any project report, so you might try messaging them directly...

    One thing I can't find when I'm looking for zippers and the material is where it lists the zipper stops. Where do you get them?
