I am putting out this thread to see what the interest would be in a new bridge hammock.
The hammock would be inspired my the Grizz Bridge hammock videos. It would have 35inch spreader bars. The triangles would be constructed from amsteel to save on weight but not reduce strength. It would feature tarp protectors on the ends of the poles.
The weight of the hammock without spreader bars would vary based on material used. Probably 8-12ozs from our testing. The bars weigh 9.9 ozs.
The hammock would be half open at both ends to allow for circulation of air.
My wife is master seamstress, she has been making clothes for years. I would be doing the rope work.
I am asking for feedback, before we go out and buy a lot of materials. We have not established a selling price yet, but we would like it to be in the $130-$160 range. With a fully enclosed bug net being produced later.
What do you think? I'm not asking for sales right now, just thoughts.
Thanks,
Drake
The attached picture is of an initial test hang, the hammock is not yet completed as of this picture. The ends have not been sewn up to the triangles.
