True implementation of very timely innovation. It is really cool to watch the laser make that work look so easy.
Well done.

Sweet! Exactly what I have been waiting for. I've been wanting to try a bridge for a while...
What's the finished weight on the bridge? With and without the poles?

Looks like webbing secures the sides of the hammock.. is that right? I don't have a lot of bridge knowledge..
Thank you RBTR!!!

Hi!!!

The finished bridge with dog bones should weigh around or a tad under 9 ounces and the poles come in at 10 oz. for the set.

As far as the webbing, yes it gets rolled into the side hems and then a loop is created at all 4 corners for attaching the hardware and/or dog bones. Bic's video will give a more detailed look into how that all comes together. Hope that helps!

Very clever and innovative option.

Innovation, being a hallmark of this hammock community, much like respect and positivity, serves as the backbone of the vibrance and vitality of this wonderful and unique forum and community.

It is great to see so many options being made available to this community of hangers.

Quite clever indeed

Glad to see you got this going finally... I know how hard it can be to put all the little pieces in place.

There's that other very impressive bridge out there you can do a kit with too once you work the kinks out with this one.

In the meantime... cheers to beers!

I’ve made a bunch of Bic’s bridges before. My wife was happy when I told her about these... it means my giant hard board template can finally go away.

That's a fantastic looking kit.
NOW, how about you guys and Bic collaborate on a zippered net kit for it.
Please!

I'm looking at the kit as a possible summer project and have a question or two about the optional components.

1) With regard to the spreader bars, if I check that option am I getting spreader bars for head and foot ends or just one bar? I can't tell from the website because it indicates "1 X Spreader Bar Poles." Does that mean one 2-piece pole? Does that mean one set of poles including both head and foot ends? That is, all the poles I'd need for the hammock, which I assume would be four total pieces making two complete poles. Also, are the tips included with the poles or are they a separate purchase?

2) My understanding of Hikingdad's design is that an amsteel dogbone attaches to the hardware at the hammock ends and loops into a metal triangle to which the whoopie sling or other suspension is attached. I don't see this triangle in the kit nor offered as an optional accessory. Am I wrong in assuming that's how the suspension would work or is there some other method you envision for attaching suspension to the dogbone at the hammock end?

I'm sure the suspension question has already been answered by people who have built bridge hammocks using Hikingdad's design, but I've never done one and all I've got to go on at this point is the two part video to which you link on the website. I figure it'd be best to ask the questions here so others can benefit from the answers.

Thanks.
