Just orderd a baker's dozen for x-mas. thanks to everyone 4 the great intel.
A couple friends are volleyball players thus have to duck into every door they enter. If someone was 6'8-6'10, is there anyway to get them comfortable in the 60x126?
?

anybody. ?
Maybe... Wouldn't be much different than a 6' person being comfortable in a 7-8' hammock...
Live, Laugh, Love, if that doesn't work. Load, Aim and Fire, repeat as necessary...

It's a difficult vague question but Brute is right. If this person, or persons, like and can get comfortable in a hammock, why not in a 10' hammock? Rule of thumb I try to use is person's height plus 4', but that's just a general rule.
Some people can fold up anywhere, some people can't sleep in any hammock of any size.
No real answer I'm afraid, but there ya go. Like I tell folks, if it doesn't work, you still have a tablecloth.

Clark and Hennessey didn't try for years to limit their sales by saving just a few $ in material costs making 8' long hammocks that were too short for most people.
So, if 8' hammocks were long enough for a lot of people, 10' should be long enough for most of those for whom shorter size was definitely the issue.
My First...
Was a little nervous with the maiden voyage of my first homemade whoopies, a tablecloth hammock, 2 dogs and 360lbs of peoples but it held up well. I've never owned a hammock like this, I really love it.
Temps are getting down to 32 tonight and will give it a whirl. I found the commercial hammock stand on Craig's List for $30 today. You can't raise the straps on it high enough for some decent slack though.
Palm trees. I miss palm trees.
Put a ridge line on and that will help give you the right sag. Looks good.
+1 on palm trees. Palm trees good! Swamp coolers--not so much...
swamp coolers! Yup... too humid in FL for them Work great in the southwest though!
Dry heat??

Set up an adjustable Dyneema ridgeline on this DIY hammock and found a very fine margin of getting the proper sag and touching the ground on this commercial stand. I have to really stretch the Amsteel Whoopies tight against a the ridgeline. I think the 1/8" Amsteel all the way across would be safer. We'll see...
We live in a very old neighborhood and rental house, our house has both a swamper and A/C. A/C bills in Vegas push $400 but your right, when it's humid out forget it, most of time its dry.
