After inspiration from another thread about how old Navy hammocks were strung with a hammock clew. We had a cheap hammock for use in the back yard that the cotton suspension lines had stretched and begun to break so I took the chance to figure out the clew technique and restring the hammock using some nylon/polyester cord from Home Depot. I used 2 packs of cord each about 25 yards. All in all the results are pretty good. You can see some of the cords are a little loose. It is a trial and error process so far on getting each individual cord the right length to allow the right sag.
