Please remember to insert the end of the webbing into the elastic keeper, so you have finished the first step that connect the first strap with one end of your hammock.
Then Walk it over to the other tree strap, releasing the hammock from the stuff sack as you go. This method will prevent the hammock from ever touching the ground, and will keep it clean. Attach the second buckle to the other tree strap in the same way as the first.

Part 4- Bug net
Take out the mosquito net in the hammock bag, pull the mosquito net to the opposite side of the hammock and attach it.

(Tighten the rope on adjust buckle instead of the end of hammock. This will enhance the room in the bug net.)
After entering the hammock, the bottom of the net must also be tightened. It is important to remember that the mosquito net is not designed to carry any of the weight. Even if the opening is not completely closed, the elastic cord will allow room for the hammock to push through at it’s lowest point. The opening of the bug net will constrict around that area, still keeping all the bugs out.
Apart from how to hang a tree hammock, there are some good tips for you to take the hammock down and store in a bag
Stuff the mosquito net into the hammock bag.
For easiest redeployment, after disconnecting the buckles from the tree straps, keep the suspension buckle just outside of one end of the stuff sack, ready to be fastened the next time.
Stuff the hammock back into the hammock as you walk towards the tree.
Finally, take the two tree straps and put them at one end of the stuff sack for easy access the next time.
