Hi all,
'Bout time I make my own hammock. Was thinking about a basic gathered end, except I kinda don't like the look of that big ball of fabric, and am wondering how much weight and bulk it adds compared to a sewn channel end.
So what are the drawbacks of a sewn channel end? Only the need to sew more? I imagine the gathered end is popular partly because it seems so easy...
Do sewn channel ends limit the fabrics you can use?
Any difference in "lay" or basic comfort?
I'm planning a single-layer ROBIC XL in probably 10', and I weigh 125lbs, if those facts matter. (I think I saw someone on here that had made a DIY sewn channel hammock in ROBIC...)
