Time to Hang,
If you want to use a spreader bar, try Jack's or Better.

I'm sorry. That should have been Clark's Flex 180, not Clare's.
If you are worried about knee extension issues, look at Clare's Flex 180. It is gathered at the head end but not gathered at the wide foot end. You get a really flat diagonal lie that allows for...
Hi Keith,
The wide downmat is comfortable, warm and is locked in by the center fabric ridge of the Flex. You have a little leeway in positioning it for a diagonal lie. I had it when I bought my...
Beltwaybandit,
I set up the Flex and shot a couple of photos with the downmat in it. You'll see how the fabric ridge locks the downmat in so that it doesn't shift laterally yet still allows you to...
Beltwaybandit,
I should have added that my Downmat 9 is the wider model. I think it's 26 or
27 inches wide. A 20 inch wide pad or mattress might slide out laterally (or you might roll off to...
This won't be quite the answer to your question but you may find it helpful. I use an Exped Downmat 9 inflated to about 2/3 of max with my Flex. Very warm and doesn't slide out from under me despite...
Hi SmokeBait,
The free axial rotation is only at the foot end, which has a gather at each corner. There is a single gathered end at the head. There are no side tie out points on the Flex. One...
Impressively engineered, Keith! Impressively engineered!...............Tony
Hi SmokeBait,
I'm still new to hammocking and haven't looked at whoopies yet but may at some point. They look interesting and seem to be very popular.
When using a single tree at the foot end...
Keith,
That looks great! I'll give it a try the next time I get out. You have your entire suspension modified now!

Cdesmet,
Got your PM. Here's a couple of photos of the Flex. Again, I'm 6 ft tall. In both photos, I could have pulled myself further toward the head of the hammock leaving more footroom.

Thanks, Brute. It worked out well and I didn't even lose much hair scratching
my head trying to figure it out - a dead giveaway that many other people had
it figured out before me!

I was recently looking for a simple way to hang my Flex 180 when only a single tree was available at the foot end. I still wanted to maintain the full width of
the foot and support the hammock's...
Thanks, Keith. That's what I'd hoped to hear. I think I'll order a JRB bar for my Flex.
Tony
Keith,
Does your spreader bar modification, with the spreader bar end of the hammock attached to one tree, make the hammock uncomfortably tippy
while sleeping or while entering/exiting it? I toss...
