My name is billy I'm from chittenango ny I'm new to the forum as well as hammocks. Basically I got a tick in my brain the other day that I wanted to build a hammock, I'm a contractor by trade so I like building things and figured it would be a fun project. I've don't a lot of research on the weaving techniques and I'm quite confident I can handle that aspect as well as building the jig. So my question to you guys and girls is what rope should I use and what size. I intend to leave it in the weather so from what I've read I should go with a polyester rope over a cotton rope. I'm new to this and I'm not looking to spend a big chunk of change on my first one so if anyone has some suggestions on where to buy the rope in bulk cheap that would be great and one last thing is the length of the rope. From what I've read I should need approx 600ft of rope for a single person hammock is that in the ball park? Thank you and I look forward to becoming a part of this forum
