Hammock length vs. Height

[squidbo]

I'm 6'2", and weigh 290 lbs.
What would be my best hammock length and width?

[NMTrekker]

I'm 6'0". I have used a 10', but I like the 11' length best. At 6'2", I strongly recommend the 11 foot length. For me, standard widths or the new wide widths work equally well. I do like the standard width for use with an underquilt. The hammock fits the quilt a little better.

I agree that an 11 foot hammock would be good for you. With regard to width I wouldn't go any less than 60-65 inches. YMMV.

Do you happen to know who makes 11 footers?
I found the Warbonnet, but the weight capacity is only 250 lbs.?

I can't find 11 footers?

[Big Sweets]

Wilderness Logics makes three 11 foot models that go up to 400 pounds.

Thank you!

You may have to go with a double layer hammock depending on your weight

Thanks, I checked them out, $125 is a bit much for me considering I have never hung before, but I put them on my 11" list.
