    Video: DIY Paisley Hammock with Ripstopbytheroll Outdoor INK

    I recently purchased four yards of the Paisley 1 Poly box ripstop by Ripstopbytheroll and made a hammock out of it. I had never used the poly box ripstop before (or the Outdoor INK ripstop) so I thought I would make a video to talk about it and showcase the hammock. It turned out great and the hammock is super comfortable. In the video I compare the poly box ripstop to the HyperD fabric which is the only other hammock body fabric that they offer. (As of 5/2017)

    I added a number of D rings to the inside of the hammock body to attach storage pockets to and I also included the knotty mod.

    Below is the video. I hope you enjoy it!

    Good work making a fine-looking hammock. I like that paisley print, may need to get some. Your brother is a lucky birthday boy!

    Great job on that hammock. What width is this hammock? About how long did it take you to do this hammock?

    Thanks TrailSlug! 58" Wide. I started working on it Monday after work and recorded the video on Thursday after work so maybe 3-4 hours including the stuff sac?
