DIY, Double Layer 70D, 12', Hammock

[Yannick]

Hi guys,

just wanted to quickly post my recent project I finalized a few days ago.

My brother wanted his 1st hammock and because he is also a 100kg guy, like me, I thought I should make a 70D double layer hammock, and order enough material so I can make one for myself aswell.

I followed a tutorial on the german hammock forum for sewing a zipper bugnet to the hammock, Unfortunately I made a mistake when taking measures and all-in-all, I find zipper bugnets repulsive in many ways. Thats why I aborted the bugnet, and just stuck to the hammock. I am a strong advocate of bottom-entry nets. Especially now that I know more about the technical side of zipper bugnets.

I got to say that 2 layers of 70D Nylon is awsome. I am not going back to single layer. Everything feels so much sturdier and rugged, I love it. Also I left a 2 ft opening on one side, for sliding in sleeping mats.

Anyways, here are a few pictures, and if you have questions, feel free to ask.

That looks fantastic! Have you taken a good nap in it yet?

No, but I had a much stiffer lay compared to my chinese 70D 12' Onewind, in which I always felt slightly submerged.

In addition to that now I have a "sweet area", where as prior only having a "sweet spot".
