Would the DIY crinkle teffata table cloth be ok for someone 6'2" and #270. Want to build one for hanging in the back yard. What size would I have to use. The 60" x 126". Will it be as comfortable as my HH explorer deluxe asym or is it a different cut that a DIY hammock
I don't have any information on if the tablecloth will hold you or not. My brother will be here in a few days and I will be able to tell you then as he is 6'4"ish and say's he is around 280lb but my guess is over 300. He wants to check out the new purple one I just made to see if he wants me to make him one.
I own 2HH (Explore Deluxe and Expedition) with 2QZQ Mod 4 and I can honestly say my DIY tablecloth is not as comfortable as the HH's are. I can't seem to get as flat (I am still tweaking the DIY) and I don't like the material as well. I did another DIY because I wanted something to ball up and toss into the back of the camper for family outings/lounging/kids to play on. I did not make something for actual camping. For that I will stick with my HH line up.
I can't seem to locate the post but PapaSmurf from Dream Hammock did a test with 400-500lbs in a single layer tablecloth hammock so you should be fine. At your height I would go with a 90" x 132" tablecloth and trim the width back to 60-65".
So I am assuming that the HH asym hammocks are a different are a different shape cut of fabric then by the head and foot area. Has anyone tried to make a DIY like this.
Bstomper -- I'm 335# (& 5-11), and have 2 tablecloths (126x60 & 132x90), and both seem to hold me without any problems. I'm new at this, but, so far I can't tell a difference in the length (it's only 6"). For me, the 60" seems a bit narrow and the 90" is way too wide; I'm thinking about cutting the 90 down to 75 or 72.
Bottom line: the tablecloths will take the weight.
