Has anyone tried altering the initial dimensions to a slight 'V' shape on either end of the fabric to minimize the slack on the sides of the hammock?
It would look something like this <=>
( I tried to upload a file but it's openoffice.org and it wouldn't upload.)
That's slightly exaggerated but the idea is to cut some material off all four corners at an angle towards the center of each end. That way you are compensating for the pull in the middle of the hammock.
Insted of the usual way of starting with with a rectangle and ending with floppy sides.
Anyway, I'm curious to hear of peoples trials/errors/success's and if this idea has any merit.
