The distance between the 2 cross pieces on the Hammaka Bow Stand is 10 feet.

The weight of the 100% nylon, taffeta per square yard is about .15 lbs per square yard.

We use a lot of different materials for different products. We use a 210T Nylon for our realtree camo hammock but we use a poly ripstop for the superfly. What is your experience in materials for hammocks and flys? Is there one superior material over another?

Also, Please check out my photo gallery to see items that I’m currently working on as well as some innovative ideas that I’m working on. I know some of you think I’m just in here to sell some stuff but I assure you that I’m here to learn and develop a product that people will love.
I am the national sales manager here but I also do R&D. Hammaka is a very small company and so I wear a lot of hats. We don’t have an R&D department and a sales department….. it would be hard to do that when we currently only have 4 Hammaka employees.
Anyway, check out the photos and give me some feedback on those and the materials you currently use.
Thanks,
Adam

Where are you seeing the realtree hammock on the Hammaka site? Can you provide a link?

[fin]

Not on the Hammaka site, in Hammaka man's gallery! It must be a prototype.

I wanted to see how much their stands are because prices aren't listed. Hitting the "Buy Now" button doesn't do anything; the cart stays empty. Anyone else getting this?

Materials:

Most folks (here anyway) seem to use Silnylon for their rain fly. Some folks have experimented with Cuben Fiber or Spinntex material, which is pretty darn expensive when bought in small quantities by the yard. Folks have made their hammocks from 1.9oz breatheable ripstop nylon or 2 layers of 1.1oz ripstop nylon. Lots of other materials too. The lighter the better for backpacking.

Prices arent listed. I saw those 2 person hammocks on ebay for 19.99 & ~$7 for shipping.

I would be most happy to be of assistance in testing products.
