Been years and years since I made a hammock. A decade wiser and the results show. Got my hands on some 1.2 robic xl and made myself a netless 11.5' with some knotty mods, 116" Ridgeline. The fabric is superb, feels fantastic with just a very slight stretch. Whole thing comes in at 10.5 oz. Can't wait to get it out in the wild.

That is going to give you lots of enjoyment in the future I bet. Looks great, and you can't beat the weight.
I love It! I been contemplating a DIY half wit version in 1.2
Where the trail ends the adventure begins!
I recently built a 1.2 hammock. It's gonna be my ultralight backcountry only hammock as I have had a couple 1.0 hammocks fail for my family and me. Hoping this one fares better and believe it will. The little bit of experience I have with it, so far, is good. It feels nice and is very comfortable, albeit a bit bit stretchier than I prefer. Not unacceptably stretchy, just not as stiff as I really like. It's a nice fabric, for sure and easy to work with. Enjoy it!
Cheers,

For me I really like a decent amount of stretch. Hammocks that don't have any give make me nervous. I feel like they're going to burst at any second. I run about 205, the 1.0 fabric for a single layer would definitely be pushing the limits.Originally Posted by Billy Goat
