Hello all!
I was hoping someone could help me with the creation of a two person hammock!
As a background:
I have done previous hammocks before, both having foot boxes, expanded sides, and being double layered. Right now a friend of mine is asking for a simple hammock for two people.
Specifications:
The problem comes into play with his height, 6'1". The two people together should weigh in the 300lb range.
My Ideas:
I was thinking of a rectangular double layered hammock, utilizing 11' of 1.1oz and 1.9oz ripstop nylon from Ripstopbytheroll. No grosgrain, just a simple hammock.
Will this be big enough? I have never made a simple rectangular hammock so I'm not entirely sure if the extra extensions and footbox would be worth the extra material and weight. Ideas or thoughts on the size and weight of these individuals?
Edit:
I also would like advice on bugnets. Less important, but could I just make a cocoon net with a zipper down the middle? Would two lengths of bugnet 54" wide be enough?
