    Bridges4BiggerPeople Body Only Bridges

    Hello all. I am now offering a Bridge Body Only with no poles, suspension or bug net for those who want to provide their own spreader bars and suspension. I recommend Easton 0.742" bars for those over 250lbs. Its a single layer HD 4 Season made from Hexon 2.4 oz in Coyote, Charcoal Grey or Dark Olive. The body width at the head and foot ends is 52" and the main body length is 80" to fit individuals up to 6'6" tall. The triangles are made from 1/8" Amsteel and are 43" at the head end and 38" at the foot end.

    The weight limit with 0.742 spreader bars is 400lbs.

    All thats needed to complete the suspension is a descender ring or climbing rated carabiner to larks head to the end of the triangle and then attach your whoopie slings. The same for buckles and straps - just larks head the buckle to the triangle end.

    Lead time is 10-14 days.

    Price is $129.95 plus $6.10 Priority 2-3 day mail shipping.

    Thank you and have a great day!

    Welcome to the forums! Considering V_Allen hasn't been active on the forums since May of 2016, I'd say you should look elsewhere. There's a member of the forum, Gargoyle, who has a mega size Bridge....try sending him a PM to find out the source.

    V_A made mine. I guess I got lucky.
    The guy did good work but vanished soon after...no explanation. Life happens.

    Bill is the one to go to now.

    Hi- nobody is sure what happened to Vince.
    I have heard from a few folks who did get a bridge... some are still happy, some had some durability issues.

    Either way; as those who chimed in were kind enough to mention (THANKS!) I am the only one who builds a bridge that holds more than 250lbs.
    The Big Guy is designed for those 250-350+ pounds.
    My Luxury Bridge is the same size but rated to 250lbs for those who needed something larger than other models but don't need the extra structure.

    Feel free to email me- [email protected]

    There is some more information in this thread as well- https://www.hammockforums.net/forum/...-Bridge-update
