    DIY Overcover?

    I'm about to start a hammock for myself, and I figure with cold weather coming up, I want to try an over cover. Any walkthroughs, suggestions?

    I am currently building one for a hammock right now but unfortunately I didn't record any video footage on this one so I won't have a walk through for it but if you have any questions you can always PM me and I'll help you out the best I can.

    It's exactly like making a sew on (integrated) bug net for your hammock. I use 3 yds of material and place it on the hammock (with the hammock sides pulled out). Pin the edges to the outline of the hammock and hem. I use a small loop of grosgrain and some shock cord at the foot and head that goes around the gathered ends of the hammock to hold it in place. The sides can be held down by loops, velcro, string, whatever.

    Here's the bug net link, just substitute your chosen fabric and don't sew it on: https://www.hammockforums.net/forum/...ad.php?t=75722

    It's a simple project that doesn't take long to make.

    I got in a fight one time with a really big guy, and he said, "I'm going to mop the floor with your face." I said, "You'll be sorry." He said, "Oh, yeah? Why?" I said, "Well, you won't be able to get into the corners very well."
