    Bridges For Bigger People

    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 individuals height and comes with your choice of Whoopie Slings or Strap/Buckle suspension and includes a Fronkey style bug net.

    The 4 Season HD is the biggest of the bridges with a large amount of storage at the head and foot area. Spreader length at the head end is 43" and 38" at the foot. The spreader poles are Easton 0.742" aluminum.



    The MD Bridge has the same body of the 4 Season HD, but much less storage at the head and foot end.



    With a Fronkey style bug net.



    These bridges a made one at a time in the colors of your choice. Please see the colors available at ripostopbytheroll's HyperD 1.6 and Dutch's Hexon 2.4 and 1.6.


    If you have any questions, please email me at [email protected] or PM me here at the forums.

    Thank you!

    Vince

    Thanks HeavyHanging! Almost everything you want - no big screen tv or beer dispenser - but I am working on it!

    Mine came this week and I love it.
    Thanks V_ for a great product for big guys/gals.
    I had a few hours of playtime in my new hammock and it performed flawlessly. Flat lay, wide at the right areas. The total package is small and packable. I chose the new Dutch fabric, Hexon 2.4, which I believe is another item Dutch nailed. The fabric is soft, feels strong, had no static (which in the past was a pita with hammock fabric).
    I'll do a full review soon after a few nights in the hammock.


    If you are a bigger than normal person, give this hammock a try. Heck, if you're normal sized, check it out.

    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 would though).

    The very first picture at the top is gargoyles HD bridge.

    Man it's nice someone is making bridge hammocks in something other than olive drab. Small criticism, but I think high quality bridge market needs full choice as they become a more mainstream option.

    Thank you, Tony! Hows this for bright and colorful?





    Blaze Orange/ Royal Purple/Olive Yellow are very popular for some reason. HyperD 1.6 comes in some really bright and cheerful colors.
