I then thought with the rip stop it would be strong enough for a full size hammock. I went back and bought the two partial bolts they had left. I got 2 full hammocks and several 3/4 under quilts from those.
I had my doubts about how well the fleece lining would hold to the rip stop. it is glued on not sewn. So far it has worked well. The hammocks are a little bulky but make great 3 season hammocks.
