    My First DIY!

    I finally finished my first DIY project and thought I’d run it by everyone. Still have a few bugs to work out (like how to suspend it from trees and carry it), but all-in-all, I think it went quite well and unlike other hammocks, I find I’m able to lay very flat.

    If all goes well I’ll be taking orders for this beauty by the end of the month and as always, any suggestions are welcome.

    I decided to model it myself………”yeah baby!!!!”

    How much for this setup? Looks pretty comfortable.

    The nails are sold by the pound, so it depends on the size of the person . I would also need to know if you want standard wood or pressure treated. Personally, I'd go with the standard......it's a light lighter to carry. Just make sure you don't set it up around any termite mounds.

    Well I only sleep with termites. So I guess this may not be the route for me to take. Thanks though.
