i am sure this had been covered but i have no idea how to search for it ...
my h. is pretty large (2,30 m / 7 1/2 foot) so the fabric is in my face .... right now i use rubber coated magnets. works okay, but i guess there id better ways...
happy friday everyone.
What kind of hammock?
[I'm giving 6:5 that it includes the word "double"... My first one was a GT dbl and the flapping made me return it ]

Knotty mod. Easy to do, cures the flapping, keeps pillows and such in, adjustable, etc.

uhhmmmm.... tightening the ends ... isnt this going to close the h. over my face? the h. that guy has, is much smaller than mine.
wouldnt be flapping anymore, but would close torwards the middle and being pressed on my face...?
tttm has two pieces of fabric. solves the "stuff falling out" issue too btw.
Heres a good vid by Jellyfish : https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=xExXE648aIs where she shows the knotty mod on a hammock she made. Its easy to do on a pretty made hammock as well, just make a 2 small holes in the hem about a foot or so apart, slide the shock cord through and add a cord lock on each end. Lots of posts here for reference as well

A picture is worth a thousand words, but I can't see THAT many here. I can't see what you've stuck these magnets to, unless it's to themselves while holding a fold of hammock--I suppose you have to pick them up when you get out and they fly off.Originally Posted by micks
If you want the hammock edge off your face, you can do that "knotty mod" or MAYBE you can stitch a loop to the edge of the fabric where it hangs in your face and stake it out or hang a small weight from the loop.
Hang Happy!
