Hark Hammock Hangers!
I just completed my first Ariel Grizzbridge hammock . It has parts scavenged from my first failed attempt at a bridge hammock and is fairly comfortable (but I can't say if I can sleep in it without shoulder pain , yet). This is the fifth bridge hammock that I've made . I've made five because the first four have too much shoulder squeeze for me to sleep in. They all have bugnets and zippers which I now realize is a huge waste of my time and money. They are also all "kludgy" in that when loaded the zipper stretches enough to mess with the zipper sliders sliding. I've noticed this on a commercial bridge hammock as well.
The addition of the bugnets for these designs is actually much more problematic and time consuming than making any of the hammock bodies. I'm a block(chain)head but have accepted that for a variety of reasons , I should build removable bug nets instead .
If any of you can provide insight and inspiration into removable bridge bug net solutions that don't require zippers I would be filled with gratitude!
