Yes, I do. Its not finished yet, but its close. Theres a maintenance page up right now. Been really busy. Its in my signature.

30 Degrees - just like a gathered end. You may want to raise the foot end a few inches also. When you hang it, the middle should be bowed up a little, that way when you get in it will be pretty flat....
Hey Ben - the undercover is basically a wind blocker and traps warmth in a "dead" space. It can boost the temp range with your UQ 5-10 degrees. And it also protects your UQ and hammock from sideways...
Hey Heavy! Glad to see you on the forums! Glad you got everything ok and thank you!
Oh nice! Thanks Huey!

Thanks Ben! Appreciate it!
Thanks Bla1z3! Appreciate the kind words guys!
Yeah, I know the feeling. Thanks, Kyle and hope to hear some great news (whatever it is).
Very nice work!
Thank you! Kyle, your such a tease. Whens/whats the announcement?
Ditto!
I haven't forgotten you. Just waiting to get the noisy kids out of here this weekend.
I had to see what this post was all about. Glad I did. Best entertainment I've had all week. Well played hammocks, well played.
Lemme know and email me what she wants.
Boy howdy! Glad someone finally has it. Thank you Dutch!
Ha-ha! Can't miss that baby even on a cloudy night!
Well, I'm one of those who sleeps cold. I use a 20 degree synthetic uq year 'round - I just open the ends and hang it looser in warm weather to vent. Oh yeah, in winter I use a full length synthetic...
Thank you, Tony! Hows this for bright and colorful? :lol:

Thank you, gargoyle! Your correct about Dutch's new Hexon 2.4. Very smooth, soft and super strong. Very easy to work with also. No, Dutch isn't giving me free fabric to say this either (I wish he...
I sleep year 'round in a hammock. I split the time between my diy bridge and gathered end. I find them both comfortable, but not for the same reasons - but your asking about a bridge. Properly...
Thanks HeavyHanging! Almost everything you want - no big screen tv or beer dispenser - but I am working on it!
:thumbup: Very nicely done. Now, get out there and make more stuff!
Wow! great work! I really like the zeta.
Hello all! I'm now making Bridge Hammocks for bigger people up to 400lbs. Made from dual layers of HyperD 1.6/Hexon 1.6 or single/dual layers of Hexon 2.4.
Each bridge is tailored to the...

Ah yes. The "V" is on the inside of the tarp. The small tab is on the outside sewn thru the bottom of the "V".

Short tutorial.
Square the ends. Roll hem 3 sides of the 2 sheets. Align the unhemmed pieces and sew them together 1/4" below the top edge. Sew 1/2" grosgrain to the top - be careful to align...

Your welcome. That blaze orange and purple is really loud and hard to miss.
No you don't have to cut. I made rectangular tarps and the ends work fine as doors without any mods. This tarp is a 12ftx10ft.

Yeah, I was thinking of cutting it down some, but after sleeping in it last night, I find it just right after all. The extra length and lack of stretch made it very comfortable for me.
I'm making one right now - dual layer Hexon 2.4 - probably overkill, but its for a bigger gentleman.
Great design and very well thought out. I think we have a winner!
I just made a 12ft single layer today - so far loving it!

Well I don't know how it really feels in the weather yet, but it does feel like cloth and not nylony so far. I've bounced in the hammock really hard and it still didn't stretch. I'm liking it.
Yes, its best to cover it with fabric.
Thank you. Compared to the HyperD 1.6 (which I use a lot) the Hexon 2.4 has way less stretch. A dual layer of Hyper D 1.6 actually stretches more than the Hexon 2.4. I haven't tried the Hexon 1.6...
Hello all. Just finished my new hammock made from Dutch's Hexon 2.4 Coyote Brown in a single layer. When I received the fabric I looked at it closely and noticed the different grid pattern. Sewing...
Thank you Kershaw! The side pull out webbing is 3/4" grosgrain cut to 6" lengths and simply folded over in a "V" shape. The pull tab is 2 inches ling folded in half. From the end of the tarp measure...
Thank you, Hugh! I got the poles from Quest - Easton .344". The poles mods are nice and not difficult 39" from each end and 25" straight down. You can also go with inside the tarp poles and a no...

I still use my old military bivy every winter - its GoreTex. I use it as a way to trap heat/block wind on really cold nights. Never had a problem with condensation. I snap in my sleeping bag, climb...

Interesting design that has tested "good". I like it! Good job sir, good job!
Someone has to keep us straight.
Now that, sir, is a nice looking collection! Well done, well done!
Sorry DUCK! Its mine now. Too slow!

The chili sure makes it very interesting. I'll try my best!

Ha! Its headed for my back yard, errr, I mean my wife, yeah, thats it, my wife. Purple and Blaze Orange seem to be really popular for some reason.
Thank you Eidson! I like the drab earth colors and this disappears in the woods and works well in the desert. The rectangular design configures all different ways. Oh, and its very easy to make.
