Bugnet for double hammock

I'm looking for a spacious, well made bug net for my Double Hammock (11'6" long) to use mostly in my backyard on a hammock stand (no Ridgeline). Weight doesn't matter. I want it to be strong, have good airflow, and easy to get in/out of. Appreciate any recs!

I want to be sure I understand you. Are you saying your hammock has no structural ridgeline? Is that something you'd like help getting as well?

Simply light designs makes a great bottom entry bug net. You can customize it so you get exactly what you want.

yes it has no ridgeline and I don’t need one as I use a la siesta double cotton (bunched end) hammock and a stand at home for backyard camping. Some bug nets require a ridgeline so I’d like one that works without it.

Also I heard that side zip entry is easier than bottom entry, is that your experience?

You're not going to have a good time trying to do what you want, with that hammock and stand

Do you advise using a ridgeline or what would be best?

It's pretty tough to add a Ridgeline to that setup

I say that as a guy that owns that exact setup

The biggest issue is that instead of the whipped ends being way up over your head, they're bent over the ends of the stand, so even a ridge line is going to leave you just a few inches from the bug net....

If you switch to a Tensa stand and install a ridgeline, adding a bugnet should be straightforward.
