    DIY BRIDGE 2 LAYER QUESTION

    I have been looking a lot on the forum regarding DIY Bridge hammocks and it seems that it may be a bit more tricky than making another gathered end one.

    My question is :
    For a 2 layer version do you allow a bit more on the width of material for bottom layer?

    As follow on, at what stage do you sew in the bottom layer?

    Im thinking of making mine as Grizz does with Amsteel channel but the bars will be at the end of the hammock.

    If anyone can help Id appreciate it.

    Thanks

    I did up a custom bridge for myself and the 2 layers are just tacked together before you roll the side suspension.

    I have been debating with myself whether to post the build thread ... there really hasn't been one in awhile.

    Thanks Brian,
    A build with dims would be very helpful.
    Did you add side cat-cuts?

    Yes, there are ~6" deep cat cuts and the foot and head widths are different to help with the shoulder squeeze. I will take a look at getting a build put together.
