    Not gonna loose these toggles!

    So, while putting together a simple lounger hammock I cut some carbon arrow shaft toggles and used cheap cargo straps from walmart for part of the suspension. Today I had the idea to trap the toggle onto the starp so I won't loose it. Once I fed the toggle on, I sewed down the tip of the strap so it would trap the toggle.

    Another good job in DIY. Keep them coming. I like that you didn't add anything else to hold the toggle, just the toggle and strap and a little thread to sew the strap end.

    I also use cheap WM straps going on 2 1/2 years I think. Inexpensive and it does the job.
    Enjoy and have fun with your family, before they have fun without you

    I really like this idea. With 8 girls and 16 toggles, I was trying to think of a way that we wouldn't loose them.

    I like the idea, not sure I could do it with mine. What's the diameter on your toggles? I have a lash-it loop on mine.
