    looking for a 11'x6'+ hammock

    Like the title say's I'm looking for a 11' long by 6'+ wide gathered end hammock. It can be wider than 6' but not less. Does anyone know where I could find a hammock in these specs? It also needs to hold 245lbs. Thanks so much for any info

    most likely you'll have to whip it yourself. either of these should work for you... double layer perhaps...

    If you can wait for a finished product, I'd highly recommend a Dream Hammock. You'll get an amazing quality hammock customized to your needs.

    http://www.dream-hammock.com/

    They have a sub forum here if you check the vendor tabs as well.

    Papa Smurf is great to work with and they provide excellent customer service. You could get yourself in his order queue, but last I checked they're about 8 weeks out. Many of our cottage vendors are quite backed up right now with their spring order rush.

    Ripstop by the Roll is soon going to be releasing a 72" wide fabric that could be used in a Dream Hammock hammock build. The fabric will hopefully be hitting the market next month. The hyperD fabric is utterly wonderful speaking from experience using it.

    Outside of this, I'm not sure there are other vendors currently offering this. I believe the Hemmecks, also with a new vendor sub forum do great custom builds from what I hear, so they might be working with the fabric when it hits the market as well.

    if you were interested in your own diy project, you could always look into an easily constructed tablecloth hammock. Looks like i was just beat to this suggestion.

    Also i glanced at the Hammecks sub forum and they did indeed mention they would be working with the fabric in custom builds. Can't speak from experience, but I've heard nothing but excellent things about them as well.

    If you come to the Smoke Butt hang at the end of this month you can talk to the Mecks from Hammeck about the hammocks. There may be some other custom hammock makers there, as well as Ripstopbytheroll if you want to discuss fabric.
