    If it is above 1.5oz/yd it should be OK for a hammock.
    Gadget, I'm impressed--with your ability to solve this problem--and I wonder if there are other ways to know fabric weight.
    Phantom wanting to guess the weight---ha

    Oops! I almost forgot about this post!
    I didn't cut the material, but just made a 10' single layer with whipped ends. Carefully at first, I tried it. A little stretch, but not bad... About like my 1.6 oz single layer. I'm still in that labor intensive testing phase, but it seems fine.

    Hey,

    I was looking for one to be sewn, the whole deal. I tried my hand at sewing once and was terrible at it haha

    I understand it takes practice but there has to be some small amount of skill to begin with I believe. I have absolutely 0
