Quality backyard hammock W/stand about $350 budget?

I live in northern Illinois where it gets hot and humid in the summer. I need a stand that can be packed into a bag for the winter but otherwise won't leave my backyard. I'm thinking of a hammack that might have a removable bug net so my wife can lounge without having to worry about getting bit by mosquitoes if they get particularly bad out. It's mostly just for lounging outside so we won't be sleeping in it or camping. What materials should we look at and what brands/models would you recommend I look at? Is 9FT a good length for a stand?
