    I started off intending to use the plans for the BB clone, but decided against a shelf and also found the foot box triangle to be hopeless.
    So I ended up stitching on the zips and hanging the hammock.

    Footbox.
    A length of tape test pinned across the top of the foot box area until a usable box was formed. Material then pinned to the footbox and tested before marking out, cutting and sewing.

    Netting secured to the ridge line and then pinned to the back of the hammock/footbox. Marked out, cut and sewn.

    Front tie out, bugnet standoff section.
    Length of tape pinned in place and guyed out to a position that looked OK.
    Mesh pinned onto tape and zipper and then marked, cutout and stitchred.

    Front netting pinned, marked, cut and then sewn inplace.

    Here's the front netting cut, and ready to stitch onto the tie out piece/front zip.

    Maybe this could be useful...
