    SOLD: "Banana" HammEck (Yellow Taffeta)

    I picked up some yellow taffeta (not crinkle) at the local fabric store, and made a hammock out of it, mostly for practice. However, it actually came out very nice, and my stitches are some of the best yet. I don't know how much it weighs. I don't have any way of determining how much weight it can hold, so please be careful. I'm 175 pounds, and someone up to 230 pounds was in it as well. It's about 10 feet long, and 58-inches wide. I have a set of whoopie slings on it, and a stuff sack. No straps/biners.

    I'm asking $25, which includes shipping CONUS.
    If you're looking for a full set-up, I can make a set of tree straps, and throw in some toggles. Call it another $15? It'll take an extra day or two to get it shipped, since I'll have to find time to make the straps, but I'd be happy to do it.

    I'll accept trade proposals, as well.

    A small update... If you want a full set-up, I can make a set of tree straps, and dig up a set of aluminum toggles. I updated the original post.

    Another update. I measured the hammock, and the post reflects the changes. Also, I'll entertain trade offers.

    Who wouldn't want a banana hammock?! I'm not surprised by the lack of interest, but I can't believe nobody has chimed in with any humor...

    If you still have it in a week or 2, I might be able to swing it. But right now im about to drop a few bills for a custom set up. My 6 y/o grand daughter would like it I think

    FSOT: "Banana" HammEck (Yellow Taffeta)

    I've actually been having to restrain myself buying the "banana hammock". Looks like a great deal to me. I've already got two hammocks but if it hangs around I may give in to banana craving lol.
