It is very easy to set up, simply slide the hammock inside the mosquito net through one of the openings fastened with a cord. Once the mosquito net is in place around the hammock, fasten the drawstrings at each end so that there are no openings for insects to get through. Then slide the cord through the loops at the top of the mosquito net, and tie the cord as tightly as possible. If the net touches your face, put a twig through the loops on the inside.
