So as I lay in my hammock, my head is to the right of the ridgeline and my feet to the left. But does laying on my left shoulder make me a left sleeper? How are you supposed to sleep ? If I sleep...

Whoopies !

If you can temporarily attach a ridgeline to the hammock to get an approximate sag, it would probably help. Looking at the hammock you are using, I probably wouldn't want a permanent ridgeline since...

WTG Bobby!!

Home Depot - 400# (or larger)tie downs. Mine have been up a few months in the backyard and hold my 280lbs just fine. Ask the Associate in hardware to cut off the hook end for you with the chain...

I got one previously, the double, and like it. I don't need another, but I figured I could use the mosquito net one now that I haven't been out in the backyard lately due to the skeeters. :) thanks...

I got a sticker when I joined ! It's on the lid to my laptop :)

I work at home depot and had then cut mine in half so I could get it in my suv... Then just put the tapered end into the bell end and voila.. :)

Chain link top rail. Tell Lowe's guy that and he should know. It keeps you from collapsing the tripods.

So much help and information - so little time.

Everyone is great, fantabulous & supercalifragilisticexpealadocious !

270 and it holds me fine.

Yours looks a lot more reclined than mine. Maybe I need to make a shorter hammock before lengthening my stand.

I like sitting in mine at night and looking up at the stars.

Mine is 123" but folded in half using the steel ring as the support/folder of the front of the hammock. If you look real close, you can see it in my picture above.

I work at home depot, was...

For my height, 6 foot, to get more recline, I think I'm going to add a foot or 18". I'm just going to pull the front post and add another "H" of 2x4's made the same way yours was made.

The...

Wanted to add mine to the collection. I spent more on the 2 brackets than I did the lumber... I shopped the "Cull Cart" and got all but one of the pieces I needed for less than the cost of a full...

Yea, we stuck all the patio furniture under there or behind the shed when I stained the deck a few weeks ago. Leaving it there for the winter.

I don't have any amsteel, so I tripled up some 550...

Finished mine up this morning, I just need to make my 10 footer from the tablecloth I received last week. ...

Do it. My wife thinks I'm crazy, but I've really enjoyed the mid 60's weather and reading in the backyard laying in something I made. I finished up my turtle dog stand this morning, and got my...

Makes me wish I was single again so I could have the house the way "I" wanted it. •sigh•

Will do. 550 paracord to the rescue.

nooooooo.... too much sewing....

Actually, I just ordered this ...---===>>...

Yea, probably a good idea then, keep the Boss from complaining. ;)

While I am at work tomorrow, I plan on picking up all the materials I need to make one of these!! I have trees, but I like the idea of being able to move my hammock around. Besides, I have room...

Thanks Everyone !!

I love to tell a story... ;-)

Been through Crestview many a time.

I ordered a chocolate one! But when my package arrived today, I received a eggplant one :mellow: I don't like the eggplant at all :(

I was really looking forward to making another hammock today,...

As I said, complete sewing noob :lol:

Thanks Guys !!

I've been all over the DIY forum. Sent Mom a text with me "hanging out". She said she was proud of me for learning how to sew. Then she asked if she could have her sewing machine...

Totally a noob. Haven't been camping in 12 years or so and I hated it. The ground was too hard, too many bugs, rocks, roots etc. I found the forum through a membership on another. So I got to...
