ZPacks™ HexaNet-Plus Bug Shelter


Description:


The HexaNet-Plus is larger than our solo bug shelter, with extra space for gear, or to squeeze in a second person. The dimensions fit well under our Hexamid Solo-Plus tarp (sold separately).

  • Constructed with your choice of a "lite" .74 oz/sqyd, or a "standard" 1.0 oz/sqyd Cuben fiber bathtub floor, with .7 oz/sqyd ultralight insect netting.
     

  • Sets up with just one trekking pole, or a tent pole, or it can be hung from a tree branch. The pole should be around 52". The tip of the pole inserts into a cone at the peak of the shelter as shown.

    Six stakes are required (sold separately). Guy lines are included.

    The corners of the HexaNet-Plus can be clipped to the corners of the tarp, but you will get a tighter pitch if it is staked out separately (recommended).
     

  • The 6" tall bathtub floor keeps you nice and dry, protected from spray and ground water. There is just one quick seam to seal at the center with SilNet. (Tarps include a free tube of SilNet).
     
  • The bug shelter has a decent amount of space for one person plus gear, or it is a snug fit for two people. By comparison Hexamid Solo-Plus tent with built in screen has more usable space for two people.
     
  • All ZPacks gear has a one year warranty against defects in materials or workmanship. Returns or exchanges are welcome.

Dimensions (approximate): 

  • Peak Height: 48 inches (122 cm)
  • Length: 7.5 feet (2.28 meters)
  • Width at center: 48 inches (122 cm)
  • Width at ends: 32 inches (81 cm)
