While I was hanging in the backyard in my Dutchware Cameleon,I noticed what looked like runs(stretched spots) in the asymmetrical bug net.I have always made sure that I had the proper sag and the ridge-line has enough slack to bend at a 45-90 degrees.Am I doing something wrong?I cannot figure out what is causing this to happen.What can I do to avoid any further damage to the netting?
Thanks

Andrew, if it is asymmetrical maybe some way lying in it at the wrong diagonal? When you are in it at the proper sag, look carefully to uncover any stress lines - or put someone else in the hammock so you can clearly observe from end to end. Only other thought is it might have snagged on something. Maybe a photo of the stretch spots would help - not only what they look like but also where they are along the hammock length.
In order to see what few have seen, you must go where few have gone. And DO what few have done.
Do you have the bug net on backwards? First time I used my Chameleon it worked, but later I realized that I had it on the wrong way. It's not 100% obvious which way to zip it on at first.
Thanks for the replies Guys. Cougarmeat after thinking about your reply ,I guess it is possible that I am snagging it when I stuff the hammock into the double ended stuff sack somehow.I do keep the bug-net attached to the hammock when I stuff it in the bag.I have the bug-net zipped on for a left lay.My head is right and feet left and the runs are located about half way up the net on the foot end side and approximately in the middle of the hammock.I will see if I can figure out how to load some pictures.
Thanks
Andrew

I think the snagging might be the culprit. Last year I found two small runs in my HG netted hammock. A couple hangs latter I realize it came from me hanging my glasses on the ridge line. Ended up using tenacious tape on both sides to stop the run.
