    I don't actually own one but the frontline is breathable so I would go for that, although you would be fine with a hammock without a bug net until late next spring. Tenth Wonder have a better range of hammocks without nets and are a little cheaper although obv i cant comment on quality of either although plenty folks on here can.
    I made my own hammock and had never done any diy gear before, it was surprisingly easy and actually quite fun, materials cost me about £15 max.

    Decathlon do a tarp for about £24 (comes with poles for use without trees) and I got an amazonas hammock for about the same price, although would look for a breathable one if you plan to use it through summer. Click image for larger version.

    Also, military mart seems to be the cheapest place online for anything and everything

    If you want one with a net, snugpak make one as well that is a little cheaper than the dd and tenth wonder. £35ish I think.
