Texsport Wilderness Hammock with Mosquito Netting

I just got it and so far it appears to be rugged material, not cheep stuff. I was surprised at the quality compared to the price. I'd get another one. as far as walkin in the deep woods and needing a place to take a nap, there is no better way than off the ground in a mosquito net. I saw a review saying it was cheep- He was not honest. I know cheep and hate it.I will say there is not the canvas that is in the picture and no extra rope to tie it to a tree, it also says there is no directions, if you cant figure how to tie a not to a tree, stay at home.But It looks like its well worth buying.

I do a lot of camping as a scout leader and wanted to opportunity to sleep in a hammock bug free. The heavy canvas bottom and bug free screen was put together well. As others have noted it is difficult to get in and out of i am 5'11'' and 185 pounds. Fairly limber and "fell out" as i tried to get out in the early morning. The zipper really needs to sip up the side, currently it is just along the bottom.I guess that the canvas stretched as the night wore on because I ended up in a deep v position about 3am, Quite uncomfortable. As a result I lowered the head and foot and slept on the ground. Worked out well.The hammock does have a tendency to burrito you in and the screen does rub against your arms exposing you to bugs. To combat this I put my inflatable Coleman sleeping pad in and it worked flawlessly.If I could change two things:1.) I would have put a pocket in the headliner for some small items: glasses, phone, flashlight. Having to leave these outside was a hindrance.2.) Have some type of support system in the top part. As it is now you need six trees: three at the head three at the feet to tie off the canopy. I camp in the south and if camping alone this would not be a problem. But staying close to others in a campsite made finding the correct amount and location of trees problematic. A small tent pole across the canopy at the head and foot would allow the canopy to be fully extended and you could tie it off to the same tree. Thus you would only need one tree at the head and one at the foot.For the price it was a good experiment, if i can't add a pocket to the inside and put tent poles across the top, I doubt i'll use it as a hammock tent.

Slept in this hammock for a week at boy scout camp, very comfortable easy to set up. It could be a little wider and the fabric over the top could be a little heavier to better repel water but with three sides open essentially the whole thing is not water proof but this material is nearly a sieve. for the price however cant beat it

The people who are giving this low rates are people who are complaining about trivial things. I received this Hammock on Monday, worrying about how poor it will be I proceeded to set it up. First of all; you do not need instructions. I had no problem figuring out on how to set it up. I had to go out and buy some cotton string to help set up the roof; but in total it took me no longer than 25 minutes to set up. I even slept in it that night. Sure I will admit it is a little thin, which honestly I like, it's easy to snug yourself in with the canvas bottom. As for the netting, it's not super sturdy but you do not need it to be. I live in mosquito land known as Texas, and did not get bit even once even though my shoulders would press against the netting in my sleep. It's sturdy, easy to set up, cheap in price, and does not take long. I'm a young man with no camping experience at all, I have never set up a tent or even a hammock and I really do find this product to be 5-stars. It's worth the little amount of money you have to spend to get it.

This hammock looks great from the outside, however, its very cheaply made. when I set up the tent it was hard to get the right height and was very uncomfortable to get into.Pros: its cheap for what it isits easy to carry aroundhas a decent mosquito netCons: does no tome with rainfly shown in some of the pictures.The side netting tore littlethey do not come with ropes to set it up and the entire thing is just uncomfortable.its extremely narrow on the insideits not fully water proofoverall i would recommend steering away from this hammock and spend the money on a bigger better hammock

Absolute CRAP. This item says its rated to hold up to 250lbs; this is false. I only weigh 225lbs and this thing dropped me lying still from 5 feet up like a rock into a pond. Mind you this was only about 120 seconds after entry and stopping all movement. Crushed my gear, hurt more due to the howls and laughter of the other four campers. I trusted the rating system of the manufacturer. The failure point was the poor stitching and strength of thread on the loops that the rope goes through to hold the hammock. They simply failed one after another rapidly with zero warning other than the sound of swearing and the ripping of fabric as I busted through the mosquito netting on my way down to the stones and earth under me. Thanks for making a total piece of crap! Thanks for embarrassing me in front of my friends. I will not forget your brand. I would not pay even one dollar for this prank of a hammock. Now I see others say it will not even hold a 185lb man or woman. You have been warned! I was so mad that I allegedly burned it in its entirety save for the two metal rings. Now I cant even ask for a refund but its better this way; I am less likely to cuss someone out. You will break your back and die a slow horrible death using this hammock. It will fail suddenly and with malice aforethought.

wonderful item it is a lot better then sleeping on the ground I am not sure if they make a two person one I would buy it in a heartbeat and would and have told everyone about this item
