Why not get one post add put it in the middle of the two trees and then you could have two spots to hang.

That sound realy off, did you have a structural ridge line that was attached to both continuous loops?
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-N910A using Tapatalk
I like using the sewn channel with a amsteel continuous loop. Mainly for its clean look and less bulk of a whipping on the ends. There are several ways to do the hammock end whipping. But I am not...
I think I just got a little dizzy. That's a lot of options.

I think with 15 ft straps most people are going to just becket hitch to a continuous loop. I do that but with uhmwpe straps

I agree , if they are not a new 6" post with another 4 ' in the ground I would not hang from them. I think the only way is to put a long metal pole between the tops of the two post to tie them...
I just picked up some of the venom webbing and, I see what your talking about. It does look like it has a melted edge. It seems so lightweight, you would thinks it is fragile. I am worried that it...
I did a 30" opening. And be sure to bar tac at both ends.

Thank you very much. I have learned so much from the people on hammock forums like yourself and jellyfish and so many others.

I kinda like both jellyfish and kitsapcowboy method I have sewed on after and during the rolled hem. But right now I sew one end of the grosgrain in the making of the hem and after both sides are...
That SRL your thinking of doing is not only great for the bug net but even better for the comfort or lay. And love the 1.6 oz HyperD that's some great stuff

Very nice. Being a Florida hanger too, I feel your pain when it comes to an afternoon nap.

Here is one I made with two separate zippers. Both ends look like this ea h zipper terminates under the hood about two inches...
I mean two separate pieces of zippers so you would have four sliders, two on each side instead of one pair.

No problem. I realy have used my hammock for no less than 40 times with the bugnet. My only complaint is I used one continuous zipper and I realy like the two separate zipper option, although it...
I have use a #3 on my hammock for a zipp off bug net. I have used it with out care almost abused it and still no problem. That being said. I use #5's on the hammock I sell, just for added peace of...
And really if people are planning to get anything close to that weight limit, really need to think about 2 inch tree strap for the protection of the trees.

Agreed!! With that fabric double layer, your week point is the suspension.

I use 2.2 mm lash-it. About 9 ft for an 11 ft hammock.

I think (and if someone could correct me if I'm wrong) once you cut the fabrics, even with the best sewing job ever. You will have seriously compromised the strength of the hammock. I don't know if...
Very nice. Is that a grosgrain ridge line?
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-N910A using Tapatalk
I would suggest a design that has the hole through the middle. I use that alot, and not so much the pockets on the side.

I wonder if you put some quilt hooks about where your knees are, if that would help. Maybe on a bit of shock cord before there attached to the quilt. As kind of a mid way down second suspension. Now...
I didn't see the tree your huggers are on, but my six hugger (if the tree is small ) will go around two times and that will alow you to lengthen the whoopie. Even if the hugger is a little to short...
Is the quilts main suspension tight, does it hang really high next to your ridge line with nothing in the hammock? It should.

Definitely agree with kitsapcowboy on the ridgeline. But on the other topic I carry one extra continues loop and two dog bones 18 in. With that and a little ingenuity I have been good to go. And I...
Nice work. I realy like that 1.6 hyperD from ripstopbytheroll.com I have made several with it. And even more with the 1.9 ripstop. But the 1.6 has such a nice feel. 145634

I have has that problem before and most of the time the thread jumps off the hook after the thread tensioner. And that for me was the spool flopping around. MARA 70 thread spool hole is to big for...
Hey that bottom one looks like mine. But my table is a different wood. My machine works pretty good but the foot pedal is going out I think.

That adapter looks awesome. I have the same problem with my 1950's singer. I have just rolled up some scrap 300D until the spool would stand up on its own.
