I have a just made Pertex Hammock for sale. Made from Pertex 4 and is brown in colour. Length just over 4.8m, width just under 1.5m. Perfect for anyone up to approx 6ft 2"- 6ft 5" (my height). Dead...

Very nice. Good to see another North Easterner on the forum (I'm from So Shields).

I bought a binder foot for my thread injector. Its adjustable. I used it on the tarp above with 16mm grosgrain.

:)

Just getting a handle on some the settings I haven't used whilst I have been making UQ's for the last couple of years.

The binding foot is going to come in real handy when I start doing some...

i have found it much easier to use than sil.

This one is really small so not for hammock use. Its a practise one, just trying out the new foot and some design options.

Having purchased a new adjustable binding foot for my thread injectors I thought I'd give it a whirl.

The tarp is a square tarp 160cm x 160cm in the super light weight spinnaker material.

Pertex 4 is one of the classic range. Probably before the uk company was bought out by the Japanese firm.

Its super comfy. Fair bit of stretch I reckon but not more so than my TTTM double.

I have some black pertex lined up for a double layer hammock.

Weight is without caribiners. Stuff sack is an XS Exped dry bag.

Pic of quilt in a 5l stuff sac. The well over 300g of down is a serious underestimate. It looks like more like 380g of down!!!

This one is now sold. An identical spec UQ will be available by tomorrow.

Nice to see you now have a WBBB. I've had mine for a few weeks. Getting stung by Customs for duty etc was definitely worth it.
