I used 70D Taslan for the dog hammock I made. Used on several trips and is like new. My dog is 40+lbs but he runs often so his claws are blunt.

Let's chat. Shoot me a PM if interest remains.

1000000 what? ;)

Thanks for the kind words. My dog is a German Short-haired Pointer, through and through. Wonderful temperament keeps me active. We're headed out to the trail in a couple weeks!

Thanks man. It's a fun project and the hammock is still going strong!

Hard to quantify the cost. I went through some iterations before I settled on the materials and the design and just went for it. I've had a lot of requests to make them for people. I have a hard time...

I bought the aluminum tent poles from my local supply store. You can buy them online too. I believe they are .665 poles and they are 13.5" long. There are 4 of them, one male and one female for each...

Thanks! What questions about the spreader bar do you have?

By request, here's a video tour of the features of the Flying Fleabag.

My dog weighs about 45lbs. I'm sure his hammock could handle more but it's untested in its final state. While I was building it, I sat in it a few times with no problems.



Sure, I can do that....

Do you mind if I ask how much you weigh and do you find any stretching with the 1.0 HyperD? I'm trying to decide between 1.0 and 1.6 HyperD for my next hammock build.

Thanks for the kind words, everyone.

Just wanted to update since our latest trip to the BWCA. My pup now recognizes the hammock as "his place", often sitting beside it to be let inside when he is tired. One evening I left it open and...

Nicely done! Thanks for the video explanation too. Subscribed to the thread for future hammock builds.

Thanks for the feedback! I just got back from a short trip to George H Crosby Manitou State Park and couldn't be happier with the results of the dog hammock. My little buddy was comfy, warm and...

I just used the thread that ripstop by the roll sent me. I guess it was pretty good ;)

Thanks! My dog and I have a rapport I'm quite proud of. He trusts that the things I ask him to do are beneficial to him. So while getting in at first was scary for him, he tried anyway and quickly...

Sorry, I just kind of made it up on the fly. I can give you some details about how that went, however. I started off choosing a width. I knew it couldn't be the normal 55+ inches, that would be way...

Ever since I started hammock camping I was trying to imagine how I would continue to do so when I got my next dog. I quickly decided that he was going to need his own hammock too. Once the dog...

Awesome stuff. Just so I understand, the shirred liner will be the top-side of the quilt, right? From there you will attach the insulation and the outer layer? Do you think the shirred top-side...

There will be tieouts from the 4 corners of the hammock staked into the ground.

It's a concern, but I'm going to train mine as a pup. He's only 9 days old right now so when I get him in 6 or so weeks I'll start getting him used to it. Also, it will be a mini bridge hammock so...

Hi gang,

I am planning out a dog hammock build to give to my new pup so he can hammock camp with me. I have the general plans worked out, I just need to decide on fabric type.

I need the floor...

I've only sewn one hammock but it does have a bugnet. The way i did it was have someone lay in the pitched hammock while I pinned the bugnet material to the hammock fabric. Then I took the hammock...

Thanks everyone! Another thing I love is my whole setup weighs less than just my tent did! Has anyone tried hammock camping and then gone back to the ground?

Hey all,

I've been drooling about having a hammock setup for years now. I stumbled upon this forum a while ago and the DIY section specifically. I was very impressed with what you all were doing...
