    Suspension for 48" underquilt

    So I finally have broke out my WL 48 inch long Budget UQ. The shock cord suspension it came with lacks like 4-5' of reaching the ends of my hammock. Should I lengthen the entire shock cord or use a single strand to extend the legnth. Thanks Doug

    Seadug, I’m guessing try the single strand extension first. If that works, it will probably be easiest fix. Good luck.

    I would use a single strand. I find that suspensions made of 100% shock cord are too stretchy.
