I am traveling to where there are existing hammocks with no nets. Can I just place this on the existing hammock and then attach the net to a cord?

This is one unit. The mosquito netting is attached to the hammock. There are nettings that you can purchase to suspend with cordage over a hammock

Don't see why that wouldn't work. You'd sleep inside the Yukon, so you might want to attach it to the existing supports to keep it from bunching or shifting.

Yes, that can certainly be. In that case it will also support the hammock to sustain more weight.

None is provided, so it depends on how you use it. I just tied the ropes to a tree branch, so none was needed. (I took it down after the grands left and stored it for the next visit. Works great that way.)

I think you could probably make it work- I don't remember how far apart our trees were when we used this hammock, as we've moved since and no longer have a place for a hammock :-(.

This is a mesh netting with velcro tabs that has no structure to it. You would need a canopy or tent to attatch it to.

Yes, it has to be held up by a cord (included). Just get the cord through the tube and tie the ends to surrounding trees. Or just get your sleeping bag inside the tube. Be aware, though, this is an "emergency" shelter... something you'll pack with you for a "just in case" situation.

Potentially yes, You have to know that the net comes without the top and bottom supports depicted in the photo accompanying the item. You'll need to rig something up. Ropes are rough nylon designed for outdoors.

Yes, you can. It is just a plastic net. It won't fall apart if you cut in another location.

No. You have to supply the cord. I used a standard 100 ft. cord and it fits very easily on the winder.

The purchase includes only a hammock with S hooks at each end. You will have to either rig your own ropes or buy tree straps, I recommend the grand trunk straps because they are sturdy and very easy to use.

Incredibly easy. No instructions, but you want the end with all the loops near it to be attached to the hammock. Just push the one end through the other after wrapping it around a tree. Plenty of adjustability.

I just emailed the company about shortening the length and was told that I can tie a knot at the ends. Each knot will shorten it by a foot and it will not damage the hammock.

We set it up on our drive way, then used tent stakes and rope out in the grass. You could tie rope to sand bags, if you are unable to use tent stakes.

I recommend getting a tarp now with your hammock because you can never predict when you will need it. It's one of those "its better to have it and not need it than need it and not have it", I have used mine when i did not expect it and there are many other uses for it as well.

Yes. You are supposed to hang a hammock such that the ropes make a 30 degree angle to the ground. This reduces the load on the ropes/straps. Lesser angles can put more weight on the ropes/straps than the total weight of the occupants in the hammock. I recommend a book called "The Ultimate Hang" for about $3 on kindle. I've seen people break 500lb straps using them incorrectly...

I don't think you can anchor it to the ground in its current form. You could rig something up with real tent stakes and some cloth wraps. Two of the four sides on the top are mesh and the other two are the colored tent material. It doesn't come with a tent "cover" for the mesh sides but again, you could rig something up to block out the mesh. I hope that helps!

No, it comes with line that threads through the ends of the hammock (whee the fabric has one long hole) and attached to those are s-hooks, to attach to line. I recommend doing what the info card that comes with the hammock says, get some decent line, cut it in half, fold each piece in half and tie off the loop, then add knots all the way down the line so you can attach the hammock. You can also buy straps, but line is cheaper and more versatile. Hope that helps

Yes, you can use another net and attach the backstop with the bungy straps that are supplied in the package. That allows the wings to fold in for easier storage. Works very well. My Grandson is very pleased with it.
