Ordered two last week. One for myself and one for my 10 year old hanging partner. He and I watched your videos to get started a year and a half ago. Felt we ought to pay you back somehow for all...

Welcome from Knightdale!

My son and I both use tablecloths. He has had no issue but he's 10 so we aren't exactly testing the strength with him. I used mine a dozen times and had a failure last fall, I'm 6' and 270. ...

Beautiful! Thank you to all!! I might have a hammock with straight edges!

I am looking to add another hammock to the tool shed and will be using the plans from DIY Gear Supply for the DBL so I can slide my sleeping pad between the two layers. I bought the material from...

I used the DIY Tablecloth method for my 9 year old. He wanted purple as well. Got out for around $20 with shipping, and had paracord at the house already to whip the ends. No muss, no fuss.

Welcome from Knightdale!

I've never used a UQ. I haven't been in temperatures I would consider "UQworthy". I use a wally world cheap, blue pad and put a wool blanket on top of that and I use an old sleeping bag as a top...

I haven't seen the Dutch versions but at the last REI garage sale while I was waiting for my group to get let in I saw ENO had a similar product. I bought four sets two for me and two for my 9 year...

Would it be out of the question just to come for a few hours?

As if I couldn't try to cram one more thing into that weekend. My son has a school, snow make-up day that Saturday morning. We then...

The main reason I cut the 8's down to 6'5" was for portability. I have an SUV and can lay the back seat down and lay the tripods inside rather than strapping them to the roof. It also lowers the...

Welcome from Knightdale, NC. Spent four years in Asheville at UNCA. Love that town!

I have seen them listed as both netting support and antenna mounts, never having had to use them in the past I was kind of throwing darts in the dark when I was searching online. When searching on...

Nice job! Also there are now 100 less bugs to bite you in your yard.

Welcome from Knightdale, NC.

Welcome from Knightdale!

Bought the lumber and hardware for stand number 1, wanted to build and test one before progressing to stand number 2. I always have to double everything since I also have to buy and build for young...

Welcome from Knightdale! Right up the road.

Welcome from close to the capital!

Welcome from parts East!

Wow, another hanger from Knightdale. I think we're up to enough to cover an entire hand now.

Welcome from Knightdale! There are a handful of us from the Triangle.

Welcome from Knightdale! I lived on Fire Tower Road in Greenville many moons ago. I still have family that lives there. Love G'Vegas!

Hey there and welcome from Knightdale!

I bought two 8'x10' sheets from a place called Material Concepts. They market them as Ground Cloths/Tarps. I wanted whole sheets and didn't want to mess with big rolls and the tape starting out. ...

BW Wells Campground up at Falls Lake outside of Wake Forest. It was our first experience at this campground and it was great. Perfect setup for Cub Scouts/car camping.

This past weekend the boy and I had our first Cub Scout camping trip of the season. We were excited to use our new DIY TC hammocks for the first time somewhere other than the back yard and our DIY...

I also ordered a 90'x156' in Sage. I thought initially about a back yard hanger for that one but I'm leaning more toward cutting it down to make a DL for mine to slide a pad in between the layers...

The green was the "sage" from Tablecloth Factory. It was a little "louder" than it looked on the website but I like it. The boy wanted purple. He is a HUGE Marvel fan. He calls them our Hulk...

I made my son a tablecloth DIY 60" x 126". He's tall for an 8 year old and I wanted to make sure he had room to grow. He has a ton of room and has room as get older and bigger.

So we finally finished both tablecloth gathered end hammocks and got a chance to hang them in the back yard for a test, in between the rain storms that came through this weekend. The boy's is just...

Have you thought about DIY? Purchase a crinkle taffeta tablecloth from tableclothsfactory.com and whip the ends. They come in a few different lengths and I have seen people post on here about...

For those of you who have done the Knotty Stretch Mod, what diameter of shock cord did you use? The sewn hem on these tablecloths is a really narrow. Didn't know if you got a certain size that fit...

Here are some photos of a Tyvek groundcloth purchased from Material Concepts that I am converting into a tarp. I bought two, one for me and one for my 8 y/o son. We are new to hammocking and for...

Welcome from close to the Capital. Tons of information on here. I didn't have any gear either when I started a few weeks ago. Now its two DIY rigs. Glad to have you.

I am a noob here as well. I had a little sticker shock when I first started looking at making the change. I also had the added expense of having to do everything twice and twice the price because I...

Welcome from down east. My sister is an ASU alum and loved her time in Boone. I was the black sheep and went to UNCA. We apparently love the mountains. Welcome!

Hey there from the other end of the state! Glad you and your boy are here!

That's awesome, I'm in.

K-Town! The Vegas of Wake County!

I will have to find the plans for a Brazilian on here. It's a shame I might have to order another tablecloth and make a second smaller hammock. I'm crushed, really I am. . .at least that's what...

Wow a whole lotta local folks. Cool! Can't wait to get the boy's and my rigs going. Still waiting for supplies to arrive. . .

I love the idea of local or regional hangs. What a cool idea. ...

Huh, hadn't thought about trimming the edge re-hemming. Then using that material by reattaching and making sleeves? Makes more sense if the ends get too bunched up for effective binding. Thanks...

Quick question on fabric widths. Serious noob here. I am currently, eagerly awaiting my first order of materials for my first hammock which I decided try this gathered end hammock method. What I...

From the land of vinegar based BBQ and where Mac and Cheese is a vegetable. Haven't started hanging yet but in the process of making it come to fruition. I am an old Eagle Scout that never knew the...
