Hi
new hanger here going straight to DIY!
to make it short I'm making directly two as I'm going cycle touring on bromptons with my gf
both are the same size but one single layer and one double layer.
Thank you Greg Brouelette (link) for telling me I needed 12,5ft long hammocks (since I'm 6"3)
and thanks Dave Xtrekker (link) (and Lost_biker) for the detachable integrated bugnet DIY with a bunch of zippers to be able to open on both sides.
I'd like to have no ridgeline as I feel it gets in the way (but I'd love it if one of you convinced me I was wrong... but that's maybe off topic)
so I would like to have a bug net that hangs above me like on the DD Frontline hammock (link) because I really like those spreader bars that pull out the bugnet and tie off to the tree or tarp ridgeline
My question is
should the bugnet fabric be the same length as my hammock?
in order that it doesn't rip because it would hold all the tension
I believe this is the case for a DD frontline because you can flip it over to use the hammock with out a bugnet but if I do so how can I manage to not have too much fabric sagging all around the hammock.
I'm probably answering my own question with this picture but I'd really prefer to have your feedback first

is this made of 3 pieces of fabric like one big rectangle for the main part and two trapezoid kind of shapes for the ends ?
how could I figure this out?? and make sure my bugnet won't rip appart on my first hang (if you have DD hammock at home let me know! )
or any other advice you think might help....
Thanks you very much for your help, these forum are goldmine in terms of shared knowledge, read a lot here, youtube and other sites so Thank You!
