    I did. Here's the whole saga. You need to read the whole thread to see what's possible and what's not, but pay close attention to the first sentence of the first post.

    Lawson Kline of lawsonequipment.com produced a few and sold them. However the tension cause failure even at 165lbs.

    Contact him for info.

    Link???? None showing up here.

    Not sure why anyone would want a plastic hammock but I'm not surprised that some were tried. I think folks forget what cuben is...
