    2 but you can use more if you want. Install them from each side of the zipper facing inward. Basically you have to pull the zipper apart alittle to get them started. So the zipper will need to be separated first and the pulls will reattach the coil as they are slid on. Dont forget to put your bottom stops on afterwards or at least stitch across the zipper to prohibit the zipper pulls from ever being accidentally unzipped too far.

    Just added a Supplies Page to the site and shared some of the DIY Suppliers that I use. If there is a supplier that I left out, feel free to link it to me and I will add them to the lists.

    I could not tell from the video exactly how the zipper is attached. Is it one zipper that circles the whole hammock, or one zipper for each side?

    I believe it's one zipper for the whole hammock. You can add additional pulls so you could unzip from either side. Your call...

    First, thank you for the videos. I'm just learning how to sew, and your video really helped me understand how to take material to a finished product. I have a dutch hammock. One of the issues I'm experiencing is over the course of the night...my tq will slip off the edge of the hammock. I'm contemplating adding some of the triangles from your video with the idea they will change the tension on my sides. It wouldn't be a drastic change, but it may help create more of a pocket. its a quick project that may help. What do you think?

    Loved all the videos, seems like you dropped off the planet in 2013. Hope everything is okay, would love to see more videos. They're informative, detailed and make it seem a complete amateur like myself can do it.
