    First MYOG Hammock Reassurance

    So I just got my 1.1 Ripstop Nylon from DIY Gear Supply and I got 12 feet but I was only going to use 9 for my hammock. I'm 5ft 2in and I guess I'm just looking for some confirmation that 9ft of hammock will be a good length for someone of my height.

    I'd go with 9'6". You can always shorten if that proves to be longer than needed but I think you'll like it.

    I would go with the longer also. You may want to trade or sell it later on. If you make it to short it may not be as marketable later on........

    I'm 5ft 7 3/4in (not 3 apples high, as reported earlier) and I like a 10ft final length.

    Thanks guys! I cut it at 10ft and am going to sew channels and the end result should be a pretty happy medium.
