Wise Owl Outfitters Hammock Bug Net - The SnugNet Mosquito Net for Bugs - Best Mesh Netting is a Guardian for Mosquitos, No See Um and Insects - Perfect Accessory for Your Hammocks

I use this with my Wise Owl Outfitters Flare underquilt and Doubleowl hammock for both camping (backpacking and drive-in camp sites) and for sleeping in my back yard. This net accommodates a diagonal lay in my double hammock, but ends up with my outside elbow pressed against the mesh. Mosquitoes CAN bite through the mesh, so (after getting 17 bites at my elbow in one night) I make sure to line that edge of the hammock with a bit of sleeping bag or wear a sweatshirt. This net is far better than one attached to the top side of a hammock because I can sleep without a sleeping bag or underquilt without getting bitten through the bottom of the hammock. Set-up- Very easy. Just string the included line between the trees the hammock will hang from, hook the net, then feed the hammock ends through the ends of the net, from the inside. Tighten the draw-cords and you're done. At the height I hang things, the bottom of the net hits the ground, but I lay a bathmat underneath it to protect the net from the ground and where I leave my shoes at night. Leaving my shoes directly under the hammock protects them from dew. This net works both on trees of varying girths and distances, and on my hammock stand. The line that comes with the bug net is generously long, so it can handle quite a span if need be. Pack-up- If I'm not traveling, I leave the hammock inside the bug net and stuff both into a pillowcase to store with my camping gear. Rope for the net and tree straps for the hammock fit nicely into the bug net bag so they don't get tangled with the carabiners, and they don't get misplaced since the bag is attached to the net. For traveling, the net and rope fit easily into the attached bag, and the buckled strap can be used to compress the bag and attach it to a backpack. Durability- After a year of frequent use, the zipper still works perfectly and has only snagged on the mesh a handfull of times without causing any rips. I'm careful with it, though, so not sure how it would hold up in the hands of someone less cautious (i.e. a child or distracted teen). There are a few tiny pills in the body of the net, just from the friction of use and repeated packing/unpacking, but no holes. The hooks are all still securely attached and all the seams and stitching are intact. Improvements- It's really great as-is, and my suggestions would increase weight and size so maybe not appropriate for backpacking. It would be great to have a spreader bar at one end to keep the net off my elbow so I could sleep without a sleeping bag or sweatshirt on hot nights. I'd love to have a zipper on both sides, just for the sake of laziness and not having to think about which way the net is hung. A small, reinforced area in the "floor" might be nice to take shoes, and maybe a pet, inside the net, and also to protect the dangling edge from the ground. Aside from all that, I love this net. It's the best I've found so far, and the price is remarkably reasonable.

I utilized the Wise Owl Hammock Bug Net during my hike to Havasu and I cannot recommend it highly enough! From the moment I set it up, I was impressed by how easy it was to install over my Eno double hammock. It provided ample coverage and created a bug-free zone that allowed me to relax and enjoy the stunning surroundings without the annoyance of pesky insects. The mesh material is durable while remaining lightweight, making it the perfect addition to any hiking gear. The design ensured I had a clear view of the breathtaking Havasu scenery, which was a major plus. Overall it was a game-changer for my hiking experience. It exceeded my expectations and truly made my time at Havasu that much more enjoyable.

Beautiful. Easy to set up and durable.

Just remember to zip it up when you get out

This thing is awesome in theory! It definitely keeps the bugs away. It's quality made and I didn't have any issues there. It was actually super easy to set up, and the size fit around my hammock perfectly. My biggest complaint is that it makes you feel isolated... which in my opinion defeats the purpose of being outdoors. Overall it's a great product. Just know you're going to feel like you're inside of a tent.
