go with what ever is comfortable..... the thing is that you DO NOT want the suspension angle BELOW 30* when the hammock is occupied.

awsome! never would have thought of that..... Have considered using strut but this would be a lot simpler as far as adjusting the height goes, lower profile and better looking as well. I just have to...

1/2" as in a 1/2" triangle or as in made with 1/2" stock? if 1/2" stock, that is substantial and you might look at triangle screw links used for climbing if you are looking for a triangle with 1/2"...

welcome from des moines, i might be up for a weekend overnight don't get out as often as i would like though when i do usually head to Stephens S.F. whitebreast unit.

just how much cover do you want or need? are you a hiker, car camper, or other? if a hiker do you carry a sit pad or pillow? at 5'4" i would think that you would have nothing to worry about if you...

i would say that it is strictly personal preference. myself I'm 6'1" and have a short incubator, it covers from my heels to between my shoulders and the middle of my head while a slightly shorter...
another question: will probably seal the top side on the ridge but do I need to seal the entire length or can I seal just a couple of inches either way from the tie out?
~cinnamon
most likely you'll have to whip it yourself. either of these should work for you... double layer perhaps...

What if I cut of the tie out, sealed the heck out of it and stitched a new ribbon to the under side and sealed? think that that would do the trick?
~cinnamon
will try sealing the outside and hopefully that will solve the problem

I recently finished making a silpoly tarp and did an inside center pole. i used 3/8" grosgrain ribbon for the center tie at the ridge line and folded it into the flat felled seem. well tonight it's...
thanks for the suggestions, was kinda hoping that someone with a dutch net would chime in with the ridge length of theirs.......
~cinnamon
i currently have a warbonnet bug net but it's to short for my preferred hammocks so I'm looking for a new one. Looking at the Fronkey style that Dutch has, does anyone know what the ridge length is...
i think that you are confusing oz per sq yard with oz per linear yard. oz per linear yard: 8yards*1.27 oz yd sq=10.16oz oz per sq yard: (12'*10')/9' *1.27oz yd sq=16.93oz

using the recommended bury length my continuous loops usually come out to a dia. of between 8-8.5". to get shorter try this (picked it up from another forum member but don't remember who) since there...
i'm about to turn some of dutch's 1.4oz polyd into a hammock and have a question about the fabric. both edges of the fabric has a salvage edge, so it is necessary to do a rolled hem to keep it from...
that and a patch against the ridge line where it got sliced. can this tarp be salvaged? yes i'm sure that it can could be, would i trust it to keep me dry? not a chance!
Already thought of that but that is not the only issue. I gave up on using a flat felled seam for the ridge and instead bound it with grossgrain and laid it down and stitched it so it looks like a...
I have a message out for Brian and hopefully I get a response. I have one of his already and frankly of all the tarps I have / seen I like the way his are made.
which venders will make a tarp to custom specs?
i recently started a tarp with silpoly from RSBTR but have come to the realization that I do not have the space or the patience for making a tarp....
I'm a full time indoor hanger using a table cloth hammock - not the crinkle cloth, the heavier poly - i have had the same issue multiple times and it turns out to be one of three things. the whipping...
MBS - could mean one of two things, mean break strength or minimum break strength. either way your best bet is to consider it the upper limit of the cord / rope with zero safety factor.
if you manage to find a supplier please post and let the rest of us know. asked about buckles such as those several months ago and came up dry for 1" buckles, however I did find that style in 1.75" I...

Good ideas and thoughts everyone. Guess i will find out for my self how difficult it may / may not be to fit since I've finally placed an order for my very own incubator.
thank you for the responses.

ah yes suppose i should have mentioned that i'm looking for a buckle to use with 1" webbing.
depends on just how much coverage you are looking for and your site selection
here are the widths of three popular tarps
OES standard: 84"
WL tadpole: 92"
WB edge: 94"

Too cool. guessing you got them from strapworks? if not where and what is their minimum order, number of feet?
here you go. give this a try, doesn't get much more compact than this, just be sure to just long enough stakes otherwise they have a tendency to pull out
