thanks! this is what i needed. im thinking that i might have to go with a 9x9.:laugh:

i happen to have a few heavy work tarps and one was an 11x12 i believe. i set it up as a rectangle and its huge!! i dont think i need that much room for summer camping! i do plan on being out in the...

ive noticed nobody has said much about the diamond configuration of a 9x9 or 8x8 tarp.. is this just not a favorite of anyone? not enough protection? this is going to be a 3 season tarp i would say,...

Thanks everybody! thats the kinda of help i needed. so it sounds like the rectangle setup is the way to go. turns out on the campmor site that the finish size of the 10x10 is actually 9'8" x 9'4" and...

thanks catavarie. im stuck between a 9x9 diamond, or a 10x10 or 12x10 set as a rectangle.... someone help me out!

thanks guys. and shadowalpha, im assuming you are saying an 11x11 set up like a rectangle... otherwise it would be huge:laugh: and as for hammock length, its an eno double and im 6'1, with probabaly...

Heres the deal. i know there are TONS of threads asking about tarp choices, and believe me ive read them... but its hard to find exactly what you are looking to hear in someone elses thread, so here...

well i am new to hammocking and am very very interested in this hammock! i am wondering tho... i am 6 feet and about 140 lbs. is the hennesy going to be to short for me?

my contractor is actually pretty cool. when i mentioned the walls he was instantly shaking his head. he is going to take apart part of my ceiling however and look for some good rafters. this house...

the problem with a stand is that my parents arnt so keen on the idea to start with but they agreed since all that would be showing is to little eye hooks. a stand would deffinetly not work well with...

thanks for the responses and as stated above... will the attachment points be to high and close together? i could deffinetly hang there but i think in order for the hammock to be comfy it will have...

the contractor is there because we are moving into this house that we bought then renovated so a contractor is needed. I just asked him while he was there working on the house. My parents arnt...

thanks for the quick reply! im off to go talk to our contractor about installing some anchor points!

Alright heres the deal. Im 15. My family just moved and i have convinced my parents to let me hang a hammock up in my room (they are not currently aware that i will be sleeping there and not in the...

thanks for the link but i am trying to do an attached bugnet that is removable not a sock type net. I will however look into that netting!

I like the setup. im deffinetly going to do this. I just need to find some no-seeum netting! thinking about taking apart a bug net for a cot. where did you find yours?

Great plans! i never would have thought of adding ripstop as well as bugnet. This would make it more like a blackbird if im imagining this right. Im thinking ill have to use your general idea with a...
