Review on 🦟 Pys Hammock Bug Net - Ultimate Protection from Bugs and Mosquitoes for All Camping Hammocks by Shawn Sims

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Great for hammock camping

I found this hammock net perfect for my Fox Outfitters Neolite double hammock as it appears to be the largest on the market. I didn't use a double hammock because I'm a big guy but because I like the extra space in it. Finding an effective mosquito net that actually fits was difficult until I found this one. I recently used this bug net in a hammock on a 3 day hike in an area that has had a lot of rain lately. As a result, there was a lot of stagnant water, so the mosquitoes came out in full force. Every night I slept in my hammock and was mosquito free which allowed me a deep sleep. The net also didn't fall on my face when I was trying to sleep. The only problem I had was that I felt like the ends of the insect net inside the hammock that you pull the hammock on aren't attached tightly enough on their own. For this reason I tied mine even tighter with paracord. It's really not a big deal to me, but it might be something to consider if you think this will be an issue for you. This is a very good product if you are an experienced hammock hiker. If you don't, you'll need to learn how to create an effective skate line and adjust the suspension to work with your hammock, but it's easy to learn. Double hammock 6 inches long. I tie the first end to a stretched hitch, adjust the height to about 8 feet off the ground, and then tighten. I attach the other end by tying a double half hitch to the tree, then tightening as needed and tying a knot away from the tree. Why two different nodes at each end? The turnbuckle is adjusted by pulling/pushing the knot towards the tree, tightening it around the tree or pole as usual. Double Half On the other hand, the hitch is set by pulling the knot away from the tree or post. Having two knots that adjust differently allows for some flexibility in perfectly matching the spinal line. hang after installing the skate line. The ridge line should be able to support both the hammock net and rain cover when properly attached and adjusted. My raincoat actually comes with paracord already built in, so it can be hung independently from a separate ridge line. Hanging over the one needed for the insect screen certainly doesn't hurt. At this point, hang the hammock insect net over the ridge line using the hooks sewn in at the top. I recommend that the insect net is closed with a zipper. There will be a hole at the top of both ends, and at the very bottom there will be a sewn-in pocket with things, I hope it doesn't drag the floor. If the bag is hanging off the ground, adjust the height of the spine line and make sure it's taut with minimal slack. After installing the insect net on the spine line, hang one end of the hammock as usual. . This is usually done with straps made of wood or rope with loops and knots. In any case, the free ends of the rope loop or tree straps usually have carabiners that can be attached to a ring attached to the ends of the hammock. After attaching one end of the hammock to the tree, thread the other end through a hole. Hammock bug screen all the way through the mesh and through the hole at the opposite end. Now attach the end of the hammock that you pulled through the net to the tree, just like you did the first time. After hanging it the way you want it, tighten both ends of the bug net where you pulled your hammock through. These ends have plastic laces that cover the ends when tightened. Your hammock should now be completely covered by the insect net. At this point you should be able to open the side of the screen, climb in and enjoy. Despite one small potential issue, I highly recommend this camping hammock insect net.
