    Doing it wrong?

    Hi! So I setup my dutchgear hammock for the first time and it is super comfortable! However, I am unsure if I set it up correctly. While laying diagonal, one side of the hammock by my head rises up a good 8-12 inches up. Should the be happening?[AIMG]14662988836321960566751.jpg14662988836321960566751.jpg[/AIMG]

    If you are head left, do you mean a "wall of fabric" on the right side that essentially blocks your view? If so, yep, normal.

    from the sideways pic, I'd say that's normal. Maybe get someone to take a pic from the side with you in it.

    My head is to the left and there is a wall of fabric on the opposite side of my head. There is not a wall of fabric by my feet at all.

    Yes there will be a wall most of the time. You can usually just throw your arm over the wall to see out if needed. Work the hammock.
    Except on bridge hammocks.

    If I'm just chillin' in it during the day, I lay/sit side to side, instead of diagonal, in an attempt to see what's around me...
