Sounds like tyvek tape that you can go to the depot and bye a roll of.

I guess depending on the application, it would work.

I think I would sew the material if you are putting it under any...

I saw some light duty hammocks at Mijer the other day for $17 each. A simple upgrade of the suspension system and wamo, you have a good kids hangout. I am getting 2 for my daughters. They want to...

As far as the tape sticking, I would tape both sides (tape facing sticky to sticky) leaving a small gap between the pads to form the hinge and make sure the tape is pressed from both sides to mate...

maybe try Tyvek tape. That stuff sticks and will be very flexible.

I have used the sheet bend on a trial set up. I just didn't like the idea of losing the length. And besides, speed? No need to rush for me.

I will definitely give the whip it while hanging the one...

You guys are very kind.

Thanks. That is my next step. When I put the hammock together, I did pull the side corners out about 2" further, but I think I need to go around 4 to 6" per corner per end. I'll go in steps. That's...

Thanks everyone! I have never been in or slept in a hammock before, so I am going on my gut instinct for a lot of thing.

Stretch, it just seems that the sides are very slack and the mid area of...

Well, I finished this setup a couple of weeks ago and just hung it out for the first time. I think it all turned out great for a first time.

Here's a shot from the foot end.

Nope. My brain wasn't functioning too well.

My bad.

NO, Not based on the measurements you provided. I remarked that yours is huge-er than mine. Not many times that I guy will admit another guy's thing is bigger.:lol:

Now that's HUGE!
I am hopping if I need to park my bike under it I can. And if I am ground dwelling, I can just use the tarp as a,,,,well,,,, as a tarp.

Thanks for the tip regarding the gallery....

Huge, I wouldn't say that. Maybe it looks big in the pictures???

I have made it based on the Black Cat directions with a 12' ridge. The only adder is the extra material on the bottom sides, I...

You got that right. How the hell do you just get pictures to show up in the thread. I have yet to figure that out.

Roll hemming an flat feld seams are no bid deal to me. I am been running a dual...

About 30 seconds after I posted above, I found your original post. I just saw the stuff and thought it look interesting.

I am not so worried about weight, because I will be packing on my...

Has anyone used or investigated Warm Window Material as a insulator, underquilt, or sleeping pad system?

Here is the info on the stuff,

The Warm Window fabric consists of four layers of...

I had similar issues on my machine. I found that I was getting the tag ends of the tread fed back in under the material and getting wrapped up in the bobbin. Also, on my machine there is a stich...

Let me start off by saying THANK YOU to everyone that posts and responds to posts from new guys like me. Thank You!

I have been doing my research and ordering materials and venturing into my first...

I am interested if you find the right vendor.

That's a good one. I will have to remember that.

My wife just volunteered me to teach a brownie troop how to use a gear feed power tool.

There you go.:D

They always have good stuff cheap.

Hey Mrprez.

Did you get a reply to your questions from the fleabay guy with the material?

Here is a link to a current listing for a HH

He is asking 145 for the setup brand new never used. Looks like complete with the tarp too.

Let me know what you find out. I purchased a 10meter roll of the olive green stuff. I saw he had a 100meter roll for sale too.
I would be interested to find out if it meets the requirements for...

Narwhalin,
Yes I have also seen the drawstring bug nets. That may be a better route to take. Make a tube that you pull up over the nest. I will take that under advisement.

I agree about this...

Yes, I have been reading,,, a ton. This site is the cat's *** too!
I am going to check the material for weight to verify what the heck I bought. It was very inexpensive, less than a buck a meter....

Great site and great advise from everyone. Thank you for all that you share.

I am doing my research preparing to make my first. I think this will be a great alternative to tent camping for me. I...
