I've had a DD Frontline for a while and quite like it. However all this free time, watching too much YouTube and finding this forum got me thinking about something different.
So I ordered some 70gsm nylon to make a basic single layer gathered end. It turned out OK, at 58"wide and 125" at the gather. But the sides were too floppy, so knotty mod done.
I made, tried and hated the Fronky style bugnet so decided to stick with an integrated net, as I like the Frontline.
Meanwhile lots of trial and error with different RL and gathers later, the hammock was still just OK. So I decided to try the WBBB clone and ordered the zips, as the rest would be reworkable from this and the netting that I have.
But I was bored this morning and started thinking about a sewn in foot box 🤔

Many adjustments to the GE and RL later and oh wow that's comfy.

I think the insert should have been two inches towards the foot end and an extra 1/2"wider at the top left may have eliminated the stretch across the foot box. Or it could have ended up all wrong.
