I just finished making my first hammock with continuous loops through the end channel. An 11 footer made with hunter green ripstop from Joann fabrics.
While I see a lot of homemade gathered end hammocks with whipped ends but not much discussion regarding hammocks with continuous loops through the end channel. Am I taking my life into my hands?
The hammock is for my wife and if she falls my DIY days are over. shell be in it at the NE spring Hang in 4 weeks. I might have to bring a mattress to put under it just in case . I may have to test it for a couple of nights first.
The hammock is sewn with rolled hems all the way around, it has triple stitched end channels and 1/8 amsteel continuous loops. Its hanging with whoopie slings at the moment. I'll probably switch to webbing and Buckles.
The first picture is a close up off the end channel the hammock on my left is my Appalachian Hammock the green hammock on the right is mine.
