    Bug net HELP!

    Hello my experienced and knowledgable peers. I am knew to hammocking myself so I need your help in this matter. My mother is looking to get into hammocking but can't stand the bugs( namely mosquitoes and noseeums). Seeing as we live in Florida this is a bit of a problem. Anyway I am looking for a good bug net and integrated net with hammock. She is 5,3 so keep that in mind because I have read of some that need long arms to close. If you have an integrated she has said no bridge hammocks. She is also getting near 50 so comfort is key. Also she is a car camper so weight is no problem. Please try to keep price low. Thank you very much.
    PS if there is an existing thread that could assist me (I have not any that were quite right) please link them or tell me.

    I use DIY everything so I can only help with you making your own.

    If so, look at Fronkey's DIY bugnet.
    Also, on youtube, criptic cricket bugnet using 2 sheer panels from Walmart, each panel ~$5.

    I used knowledge from both to make my DIY bugnet and it works great for a year now.

    Come to the Sherpa Hang Feb 21-23 and you'll see quite a few hammocks with attached and detached bugnets. DIY and integrated systems.

    Enjoy and have fun with your family, before they have fun without you

    For the price a Grand trunk skeeter beater will be your best option.
