anyone use the 90 x 156 crinkle taffeta tablecloth?

**bigsig11010** · 01-03-2014, 22:51

Im thinking of getting a couple of the 90 x 156 crinkle taffeta tablecloths from the table cloth factory for my next diy double layer hammock. the one I have now is 11 foot and I feel like I just need a little more room. Im 6'6'' and about 280. Obviously Im not that concerned with weight but I did notice that tablecloth factory even notes that the 90 x 156 is heavy but no weight is listed. Im just wondering if anyone has used one of these for a hammock and do you have any pics or reviews. pros cons etc.

Yep, my brother in law, 6'4" 300+ lbs use the largest size tablecloth or "big kahuna" as he calls it.

I did a double out of the "big kahuna"s. I folded the ends over though, to make channels, and ended up with an 11 footer. It is huge, takes a lot of bag space, and heavy. BUT, it is the most comfortable thing Ive ever laid on.

I am currently spending my indoor nights in one. Very comfy.
I'm 6'2" and 210 and I can't imagine using a smaller one now.

Anybody tried UQs with these?

Wow. That looks great. I realize that I will have to do some mod work on other gear to make everything work but I'm used to that with most things. I'm gonna give it a go.

I have one that I use in warm/hot weather, very comfortable, but i prefer a bit shorter for sleeping, just too much room I guess.

I have a double layer one that I love when I don't mind the extra weight. It is huge, and can hold my entire family sitting if I want. Here is a pic next to a 120x90 for comparison. The 90X156 weighs around 24-25 oz per layer, so I only use it in the yard, carry it short distances, or when I'm "camping" with the RV.

Yup. Made a PLUQ, double layer. Works well. If need be, I put a wool blanket between layers. Heavy, not for packing, bit warm n comfy!
