The Winter Recliner II

[Mag]

Yours looks a lot more reclined than mine. Maybe I need to make a shorter hammock before lengthening my stand.

I like sitting in mine at night and looking up at the stars.

Do you use a standard sized hammock on this stand? I thought it would be a smaller/shorter length.

The stand was originally designed for an 11' hammock folded in half, if you're going with a chair specifically, a 5' to 6' length will suit the stand dimensions stated in the doc.

Thanks for the detailed plans [O]tter they made the build nice and easy.

Glad I could be of assistance, your stand look very familiar the brackets seem to be the only way to tell them apart

We got the chair out for an EGL Group Hang this weekend, it was a great addition to my setup

Knowing that a debate may ensue (small chance), I put this question on the table… What is the lightest breathable/downproof fabric for making quilts and where can I get it? I want to make a version of the chair/UQ that is as light and “packable” as possible. I have been using the Digicam ripstop because It looks cool (IMO) and I can get it locally but it weighs 1.5oz plus, it’s simple time for a new colour!

Not 100% sure but I think it is M50 available here.

Haha, I win, sevenD is 0.05oz lighter here
It is more expensive though

So here's my experience thus far…

The M50 ($12.95/yrd) will cost $55 shipping to get $52 of material shipped to Canada, it’s an option but falls in the “last resort” category.

The SevenD ($20/yrd) is out of stock but price is crazy for this application anyway. What about the Nobul1 ($7.95/yrd), does anyone have an opinion or experience with that??

The only mention I've seen is Mbnow was getting a dl hammock in nobul1. He'll probably have it now, pm and ask him about it?

What a wonderful leap of imagination. Quite creative and comfortable looking. I do a lot of canoe camping so probably going synthetic. Is your fabric from Magna?
