I would suggest you not go with built-in bug net for several reasons, among which are:
1. A lot of the time, you won't need it, so better to have it separate so as not to have to carry the added weight unless necessary. Also may not easily be removed or put out of the way when not needed.
2. With built-in bug nets, it may be difficult or impossible to have a hammock ridgeline, and you will probably want one of those.
A bit ago, there was a bug net on Vipon for about $12.
Gone are the days when hammocks looked like tablecloths that you could use for about one hiking season. I started out with hammocks that I thought was sturdy enough, but having to have to buy one every year and half to two years made me believe spending on a better hammocks that people gave good reviews. Over the years I have worked my way up to a Warbonnet Blackbird XLC (old design). Now comes 2018 and Warbonnet comes out with an all new BB XLC, **** them. I think I can get another season out of mine, but I just may bite the bullet and buy the new one. I can always sell my old one. I agree with the group that says you get what you pay for.

On these vipon deals. I find it is best to click on the "Open on Amazon" link under the photo. They tend to make mistakes or omit information on the vipon pages. This way you actually see exactly what is in the package. Also, these items are there for a limited time or limited quantity. The deals are actually unbelievable at times. Sure they are not top of the line but I have had some items that are as good as anything I have seen. Example, I purchased a very nice, and highly rated, bug net for $5.65. It was damaged by me when I tried to deploy it in on a very windy day. It blew up to a tree branch and when I pulled it free it was torn. My mistake. Anyway, the company found out and sent me a free replacement.
