So,
I'm working on getting my bridge hammock project up to load bearing status, but first I need to figure out the best way to attach some tie-outs.
It's a bit of an unorthodox design, but here's a diagram of what I'm trying to achieve:
I have a taffeta fabric panel that tapers to a point, and the edges are reinforced with polyester webbing. My intention is for the webbing to take the bulk of the tension load, while the panel carries the distributed load of my upper back. It's basically like a tarp tie-out, but needs to be far stronger--probably about half as strong as the attachment at the end of a gathered end hammock.
I believe it can be done by sewing or tying the 1/4" Amsteel to the ~3" tag-ends of the webbing extending past the fabric, but I don't have the experience with this cable to simply improvise something.
Any suggestions? Something other than crimping a steel cable splice over all three?
