So I've watched the youtube vids posted by TZ brown about how he constructs a footbox hammock, and while he shows plenty about cutting and hemming the fabric triangle that will be the footbox, I'm a little hazy on how this gets attached to the body of the hammock.
Are the two shorter edges of the triangle simply sewn to the edge of the hammock at the location where my feet tend to stick out/off the sides? If so, will this create a situation where I can only enter/exit/sit on the edge that doesn't have the footbox so I don't put too much strain on the now-shortened footbox edge?
I'm thinking about adding a footbox to my DIY double 1.9, as I'm 6'3" and it seems my feet want to pop out and over the edge of my hammock.
Any advice or details on footbox construction will be much appreciated. I'm still a pretty new to this and have never had a chance to examine a mass-produced hammock with footbox, so all I have to go on are the TZ brown youtube videos. Also, if you know of any other youtube videos on this subject, please let me know.
Thanks,
