Like a big 'envelope' of netting. Similar to the ENO "Guardian", but a home-made version that's tailored a little better to my particular dimensions.
I'm planning to do something more tarp-tent-like, or at least a floorless mesh tent under my tarp, so I can also sit in my hammock and stand or sit outside my hammock and still be protected.

I've considered that, but I have also been told that permethrin is an insecticide and not a repellent, and therefore will eventually kill mosquitoes but will not keep them from biting you first. True? I don't know.
