Just finished a hammock for my wife...

You need to add that sweet hammock stand to your DIY accomplishment list too.

Thanks for reminding me...

That stand has come in super handy as I've been setting up our gear...

Great job.

If you don't mind saying.....

You stated that you laid out the asym opposite.

How exactly did you do this please.

I'm kinda new to this DIY project and have a bunch of stuff on it's way to me in the mail.

Thanks and enjoy the trip!

When laying on your back looking up (head at 12 o'clock position), the normal tie outs (if you have them) are placed around the 2 and 7 o'clock positions...mine are opposite at 5 and 10 o'clock...

I begin to install my bug netting with the hammock opened up by the tie outs, so the netting is stretched in that asym configuration.

The hammock itself is just a big rectangle...

OK, thanks.

I was reading more into than necessary (as usual).

I thought maybe you had actually configured the body in a different way in order to get a different "lay" out of it.

Nice job by the way, I plan on doing something similar.

I'll be happy if it turns out half as nice as yours.

Enjoy your trip.

Nice job!

However, after a first glance at the title, I was expecting to see major heavy duty
fabrics and a lock on the zipper to keep her locked in!
