Why does everyone use Crinkle taffeta material to make a hammock with.

Cuzz it works so well, is softer and I feel a little more resilient then just their other tablecloths AND the link to the page is in my signature.

I mean, it's in my signature to that page, you don't have to look it up. People have their own reasons for using it.

Is this mic on?

Because it is really, really soft and feels great on the skin when laying in it. Correct me if I am wrong, but I believe it feels just like the parachute nylon that ENOs are made of.

I see the link to the tablecloth blanks you use are 90 x 132...aren't those huge? Do you trim them down when you get them? Just seems really big to me, is all.

Here's a somewhat quirky video of a guy who made one from a 90" x 156" tablecloth. Gives you a sense of the width.

I'm 6'2" and 260 pounds, I'm huge, and I share it often with a Grandchild or two, and a cat, and a dog, or two.

It gets less huge quickly.

I forgot to add, wider is better. You can use the sidebar to get narrower pages. Save you some weight.
