I actually cut my raw fabric on one end on a diagonal. This creates for me an area that my feet fall into for a flatter lay. It's my way of not having to whip and rewip the end to create that sweet spot.

Excellent. What was the difference in length between the sides?

I have tried it this way and I like it the best and it looks nicer. Go with it. Oh, when putting a webbing in to hold up the new hammock use a large piece of pipe and gather it up that way and slid the webbing down it pull the pipe out and then just pull it togther and us a beaner for it and done.

matmore74, if you're going to use a suspension through the end channel approach, then you need to modify the build instructions. My instructions create a knob of material at the ends and all that material takes your weight, so the end channel sewing isn't critical. When doing what you're suggesting you need to beef up the stitching with additional rows. Poorly constructed end channels have failed.

Kudos to Knotty for the detailed instructions and follow up with those asking questions. Ron, you are a real tribute to the type of members here. Major props to you.
Happy Trails to one and all.
Enjoy the outdoors wisely and elevate your perspective.

Great instructions - I have made three (1 with the stretch sides) for a friend and his kids!

Quick question: If I wanted to run my suspension through my end channels (ENO style), how much seam allowance do you think I should leave on each end to triple stitch it and be able to run my suspension through?
