Hey, all. Banana Hammock here with a few newbie questions. I've searched and searched this amazing site, but came up empty. What is this style of the "gathering" at the ends of this hammock called, and anybody know how to do it?



What are the advantages / disadvantages of this style, versus the "gathered end" style, or the spreader bar style, or the bridge style?

Out of all the ways to gather the ends of your ripstop, which is the strongest, most reliable method?

Has anyone converted a tent to a hanging home? I want to just lash some rope to the ends of the floor, and somehow lash the roof to a ridgeline and be done with it.
