Did you always have the top and bottom connected via bolts? I was under the impression that the tensahedron setup required some degree of flex at the joints in order to work properly..

Double layered hammock, or an under quilt protector
I bought the HH typhoon with my "4 season" Elxplorer XL... and it leaks like a siv... sending an email to Hennessy in the morning about it. After my first rain storm experience, and asking others...
If you are talking about the one with the shock cord attached opposite of the zipper, it's there so you can tie back the bug net when not in use
If I am able to make this, and as of now it is looking like I should be able to, this will be my first group hang... so, I have a few questions...
First, is there someone I need to contact in order...
Side note: I would invest in the orange screw (that comes with the commercial tensa4, available on Amazon, to secure the foot end), as I did taco a couple nights using standard tent pegs before...
I used the standard HD 3/4" and 1" emt on my build and haven't had any issues with it as of yet... and I've slept in it most nights since building it in my backyard since I built it, although its...
Just to add to the above, I recently made a tensahedron stand as well. I used 3/4" emt that was cut into 4' sections, and 1" emt that was cut into 2.5' sections that I used as a middle connection...
very nice! That looks like a spot my brother and I go fairly often in NEPA (Mauch Chunk Lake). Cant wait tonget back out there... 3 weeks from now
I don't see any reason that would be an issue.. I have a HH, and that's how my bug net is setup. As long as the bugnet material is loose enough to allow you to put over the ridgeline without putting...
I use shock cord on my side pullouts, which still allow for that gentle sway. The only real benefit of using them though, it is to open up the inside of the hammock and to keep the bugnet pulled out...
I'm sure others will chime in shortly, but your best bet would probably be to try to get out to a group hang and try different people's setups. I have a HH asym Elxplorer myself, and my brother just...
I couldn't remember which thread I saw it in, as I read every thread front to back having to do with the tensahedron setup; great idea btw... I originally ordered the 2" shrink wrap, and while I was...
Thanks, I primarily based my build off of your setup... can't take credit for the shrink wrap idea either (can't remember who's idea it was, but saw it somewhere in one of these threads). I ordered...
It went well... I had to make an adjustment to my hammock suspension to remedy some calf ridge, which left me hanging a bit lower than I prefer, but I slept well. I will make a quick adjustment of...
Tomorrow I will add some 2" rubber shrink tube to make up the slack between the 3/4" and 1" conduit... but will be sleeping in the setup as is tonight for a test run.
So I decided to go with a build very similar to Kamileon's setup. I used a 3 piece setup for each length of support for easy transport... (2) 4' poles of 3/4" EMT, with a 2.5' pole of 1" EMT in...
Thanks for the input. I think he has decided that the Lawson would not be the right fit for him, but still isn't ready to pull the trigger yet (I think if the turnaround time for the WBRR wasn't at a...
So after my first outing with my new hammock tent, and seeing how much I raved a out it, my brother is now looking at purchasing his own hammock for camping as well. He doesn't want to spend a...
I didnt even think about the connectors being made of a different metal, that's a good point. I was however concerned about the amount of overlap being so short between the links. I was considering...
Thanks for your input, and the design. I admire the fact that you put the DIY links on your business site for those of us that either can't afford the commercial version, or really have no need for...
sorry. here's a better photo of what I'm talking about.

So I've decided that I'm going to attempt to build a tensahedron stand similar to many I have seen in this thread, as well as others throughout the forum. However, I would like to cut each length of...
We did a lot of kayak fishing... well, when it wasn't thunder storming anyway... but it's a lake, no whitewater rafting there, but close enough to spots you could I suppose, and certainly closer than...
Not sure if it's too late for your trip, but Mauch Chuck Lake Park has many sites available, and about 10-12 right on the lake. My brother and I camped there this past weekend for 4 days, and were...
I think you may be right... I hung the typhoon without a CRL, just using the static lines that came attached to it. I'll be sure to set it up with a ridgeline next time out; hopefully that'll solve...
thanks neighbor!
Thanks. I was planning on seam sealing the ridgeline and seals, and possibly covering the whole thing with silicon spray... any recommendations on best type of spray/sealant for rain fly? I have the...
Hi everyone, I'm Kevin from SEPA. I've always loved campimg, but new to hammock camping. Had my first hang this past week, and absolutely loved it (other than my rain fly leaking on me the second...
