    First hang in my diy hammock!

    I made one of two hammocks I'm working on. First ever. I used the gathered end hammock how to in the stickies.

    When i make the second hammock (for my gf) I will post pics of the process. I'm going to change some things.

    I have one pic of me in it. Needs adjustment but I like it!
    I already have ideas on how to make the next one better.

    Re: First hang in my diy hammock!

    Welcome to the forum!

    Looks like you've done a good job with the first one, although it looks like you're a bit cocooned in?? Maybe the ridgeline is a little long?

    Good luck on the second one, you should've done the one for the gf first though, so that you get the better one

    Looks a bit on the small side.

    its full width ripstop nylon I need to adjust how I whipped at the end. Its actually quite comfy and i lay fairly flat. when I adjust the ends and the ridgeline it will be better.

    thanks for the suggestions.
