The Mosquito Hammock is our Best Value for Money. You won't find a better hammock for this price anywhere. This hammock is lightweight for camping or backpacking, and it is breathable for hot climates, so you can stay cool. This hammock is easy to get in and out of, and it has a sturdy double zipper to open the netting from the inside or the outside. The fine mesh netting will keep out black flies, mosquitoes, and no-see-ums. The purpose of this hammock is to provide a good sleep in places where insects are a distraction or dangerous. In many countries of the world, with different types of resistant malaria, sleeping sickness and dengue fever, the best prevention is "not to get bitten." This hammock keeps insects out. This hammock is popular with Boy Scouts and Church Groups. Read comments from our customers. |
Included with the hammock are two 12 foot long (1/2" nylon web) straps. It is important to use the Correct Knots when hanging the hammock. The ends of the hammock are reinforced for the strap to pass through, and these straps can easily be slid out and replaced by a longer rope if desired. This system allows the hammock to fold up neatly into a very small size. This hammock can also be used on the ground or on your bed as a personal "mosquito tent" if you don't like sleeping in hammocks. The lines can attach to a tree branch or a stick to hold up the netting away from your face and keep out snakes, scorpions, or mosquitoes. |
Dimensions of the hammock in the stuff sack are 4" x 4" x 12". The approximate weight of the hammock is less than 2 pounds or 1 kg. It's small and light enough to take with you, but sturdy enough to last a long time. For more information, read Allen Leigh's basic instructions for "Camping in a Hammock." |

RAIN FLY (2.3x3m.) Design: Reinforced attach points on the four corners and both peaks for very quick set up.

Dimensions: Rectangle shape - 300cm long x 230cm wide (10' long x 7' 6" wide). Weight: .5kg. (1lb.) MORE PICTURES. |
A custom designed rain fly to go with the hammock. It attaches to the tree above the hammock with separate lines and can keep the hammock dry in heavy rain.

Advantages of the Rectangular Rain Fly. |
The rain fly is Dark Olive Green made of waterproof Nylon 210T with Polyurethane coating and is designed with attach loops on the underside of the peak for fastening the mosquito hammock netting elastic chords. This prevents rain from dripping down the chords and onto the netting. The rain fly extends approximately 15" beyond each end of the hammock to provide sufficient cover for hard rain. (However, I suggest that any rain fly or plastic sheet can be used as a rain cover. You do not need this custom designed rain fly).
