    Hammock end cover directions

    Made myself some end covers for my homemade hammock last night. They came out well and were very quick and easy, so I put up some pictures and directions:

    Cover me

    Very suave, Rico...

    looking good. i've been through several versions of end covers now.
    i started out w/ smaller ones that look a lot like yours. now i use larger, storage end covers that give me a place for storing my gear in camp.
    i hope to have a new version ready to show soon.
    the silnylon really does help protect the hammock ends from blowing rain.
    I too will something make and joy in it's making

    if you click on my gallery on the right side of my posts, & look at pages 8 & 9, you will see pictures of my current set up.
    but an improved version (or two) is on the way.

    The covers give a nice finished/professional look. Thanks for posting the instructions. Also, thanks for the tip on "soups and chili " in step 2.
