Where is everyone finding their thread? I've been looking for the Tera 40 but come up short. I've found 30 and heavier but no 40. All we have here is Joanns and they aren't all that great. Internet...

There is a member named Coffee who is 6' 4" and uses a HH clone that is 120" and says it fits him just fine. Others have suggested that Hennessy uses 130" as another common length in their hammocks...

Found what I was looking for, never mind

I just ordered some rip stop to make my first DIY hammock. I was planning on using the Hennessy clone tutorial posted by Headchange4u but had a question that I've not been able to find a good answer...
