    Width questions

    Ok so I am going to be getting a db dl 11 ft. but have a couple questions. I asked Randy about width and he said to go the full width of the fabric I order (I am 6 ft. 0 in. 210 lbs). I have seen people get a db 72 but none of his fabrics are over 68 so how the 72? Next question. If I get a 1.1 outer layer that is 68 and a inner layer of 1.8 with a width 60 is that going to work together? Last question...the finishes on the fabric layers...some say DWR and some say pure....what's the difference? Thanks in advance. List answers are fine.

    Hi,acidburnicp,
    I'm one of these people ordering a DB 11' with a 72 width(nr 557). There was an opportunity for this oversized, because he was able to get the fabric of 1.9 foliage grey.
    Actually it will come to the width of 69'-70'. I am about 6'5'' und got a few pounds more then You.
    So I hope because of the heavier fabric and the bigger width for some better sleep.

    Questions

    1. As long as the 2 layers are not too far apart in width, should be fine. I made a DIY 2 layer with 48" & 60" and the layers slid around on top of each other..Not good.

    2. Pure Finish= No DWR or water repellant coating; Also not calendered or "hot rolled"= No sheen/shine on fabric-ie just plain fabric which is fine for hammock body generally.

    3. Randy has plenty of experience-follow his suggestions

    Cheers
