I think I have that right?
And this allows you to easily move it toward head end or foot end if you want to adjust and the shock cord down the sides helps hold tq and such inside the hammock. Sounds like a very nice setup! I really think I'll incorporate this setup on my next UQ. I'm actually needing to make a few right now. My brother, my buddy and my sons all need underquilts. So I may be making quite a few!
Thanks for sharing!

Yes, one piece of shock cord for the suspension. Two seperate pieces for the cinching of the end channels. Yes, it "floats" until you hook mitten hooks onto prusics. Here is a diagram..I hope you can make it out.uploadfromtaptalk1430688498423.jpg

I'm able to make it out just fine. Thanks for sharing the plans. I thought I understood what you were doing and your drawing here confirms that I do understand it. Nice project! I like it and may very well incorporate some of this into my next underquilt build.

Good deal! Glad it was helpful. I hope you post your projects as they unfold. Good luck. Sounds like you are about to be pretty busy.
