    Tablecloth hammock build question

    I bought three tablecloths One is for my daughter the other two are for me to mess around with. Question is, should I do two single layer hammocks or one double layered hammock? I'm 230lbs so single would be fine and I have an full length underquilt 30* so I don't need the spot for a pad. My thoughts if I do a double I could put a pad in it with my underquilt to get to a lower temp for winter hanging (Mount Rogers, VA next year). If I did a double layer it would be channeled end with a mini spreader bar (already made), just because I haven't done it yet. What should I do???? They will be here on Wednesday.

    Double layer. (1) Some folks have found tiny flaws in their tablecloths that may compromise their strength. (2) Tablecloth, mini-spreader bar...You're not talking ultra-lite anyway. (3) Mt. Rogers next year: YAY!! (4) You'll have an excuse to buy more tablecloths to make more hammocks!
