What fabric should I use?

[Vincethebutcher]

I'm going to make a 12ft hammock and wondering which nylon I should use 1.1 or 1.9 from diygearsupply. I'm 6'3" and weight about 220lbs give for take. Will 1.1 hold me?

It should hold you, I've seen people say they are around your weight and are very comfortable. It may stretch a bit though.

Do double layer 1.1.

[Vincethebutcher]

But double 1.1 is heavier than single 1.9. I just want light wweight, I will be using a UQ

why not 1.4 or 1.6? thats probably the best of both worlds.
