I have been reviewing bridge hammocks and the changes they have gone through. I was thinking extra wide and more flat and this thought popped into my head.
Picture this. An 11' x 5' rectangle of material. 3 feet in from each end and parallel to the end we sew in a piece of webbing with multiple burned in holes for adjustment of the spreader bar. Down both long edges is your support webbing. That's it.
Here is a 1/10th scale of this concept. My thought is a wide no shoulder squeeze lay. I'm 5'11" and scaled the spreaders to be 6' apart. The sun screen tube is a scale of 400lb person, all I had to fit...
This seemed to work fine except the suspension lines have to be perfectly centered or the hammock will lean. I think this is a way to adjust for different size and shape people, by moving the head or foot end bars up or down the webbing for comfort.
I know I'm crazy but let's roll with this...
It even has a becket on the Braided Mason line.
Pretty flat. and room at the sides.
