    wide and large man bridge question.

    I'm about to start my bridge hammock this weekend, a dl 1.9, my question is - my shoulder width is 30 in wide laying down with my arms at my side, in am 280 lbs,

    what should the width of the hammock be at the shoulders? at least as a guide or is there a ratio to use that i missed that is out there?

    TB,

    Did you ever get around to making the hammock? What size did you use?

    I ended up getting new thread injector that weekend, I'm still not too confident with it, so I ended up making a new DL gathered end, to get the kinks out of the machine, been wanting to do that to replace my table cloth one, but I did pick up coyote brown 1.1 today, so I have fabric again, but I am concerned if a DL of 1.1 in a bridge will hold 300. So no I did not but it is still on my list.
