    Talking My first DIY hammock

    Hi All,
    Just finished my first DIY hammock and it turned out better than I expected. Its sort of a cross between a Hennessey in the way it is cut, but with a zipper instead of a bottom entry, and gathered like a Warbonnet. Tried it out a couple of times in the back yard and it feels about like a Hennessey, so I like it and will take up to the Apostle Islands this weekend for a shakedown. Many thanks for Headchange4U and Knotty for the tutorials. It was actually easier to make than my tarps.

    Congratulations to you!

    When I made my first 'clone' hammock, it was quite an accomplishment. I didn't know if I could do the netting and zipper part. But, thanks to members sharing their tips, and seeing that others can do it, I gave it a try- and it came out great!

    You did a wonderful job! Enjoy the comfort and the reward of diy!

    Looks great. You may have been helped by my tutorial but I might check in with you to learn how you did the mosquito netting.
