    A bridge hammock is a god send for all of us who can't sleep like a banana. LOL

    But in all seriousness, a bridge hammock works a lot like a suspension bridge, hence the name.

    Here is a great DIY post

    I just finished my first one, Little intimidating the first time but well worth it I think

    Search for the Grizz Bridge, he has a couple DIY threads with different versions. I have one made by another forum member, and it is nice.

    Look at the DIY stickies, located over the regular threads. They're kind of lighter in color, or maybe it's a thinner font or whatever, and they have everything you need to start researching!

    Good luck! / SwedeMix

    1) Here is a good thread on design principles..
    http://www.hammockforums.net/forum/s...ead.php?t=8537

    2) Check out Grizzly Adam's U-Tube videos under Professor Hammock

    3) Bridge Hammocks have evolved over the years, not so much in basic design but the finer points of construction and tweaking dimensions. It would be good to put more weight on recent posts.
