i just got fabric to start my first gathered end hammock. i made some rough sketches of design, i'm not sure as to the need of some of my ideas. please help, i need input, and more knowledge. here's the plan:
a double layer of 1.9 rip stop nylon (i'm a big dude, and my wife wants to be able to lay in it with me)
11ft or so long
zipper opening to insert sleep pad
tie outs, similar to the hh
and stretch sides to create a foot-box, and head-box, (idea taken from Knotty)
now i guess here's my main questions, are the tie outs, and stretch sides over kill? Also, I've never used a foot-box, will the stretch sides really replace the foot, and head- boxes?
thank you, i'm looking forward to you input.
