I am thinking of making 12 (I need to count and make sure I am not forgetting anyone) hammocks. I am thinking webbing, amsteel and hammock with a rl. I have a spool of lash-it and some amsteel (maybe 25'-50').
In doing my first search for material I found that the 60"x126" poly table cloth for either 8.08 or 8.99, or a 60"x126" crinkle taffeta for 11.99 from tableclothsfactory.com with $7 shipping. In terms of use/weight limit/durability does it matter?
I am thinking this will be the cheapest option and least amount of work?
For the webbing I only checked diygear and it was $50 for 144' at .35 plus shipping. I figured 12' per hammock, but I plan on sewing a loop at the end.
Lastly I checked diygear for amsteel 7/64 and it was .25 a foot for 288' for about $70 plus shipping.
I have some thread, but shouldn't need much except for the webbing? Should I be sewing a channel in the ends of the table cloth or can I just whip the ends?
What is the rl length recommended for a 126" minus ends? i figure its not more then 10' so x12 = 120' if so I should have enough.
