I wanna be a smurf when I grow up.

Mine is a DIY 11 foot with a folded "W" type end similar to Just Jeff's instruction, then whipped with cordage. Should have stated that in the beginning.
Thanks!

It's not easttex's design it's Papa smurf's.

Not a LSU fan, but I am digging the hammock. Looks to be very well made.

I am no SEC fan, but this is a beautiful piece of work. Well done, and I could have sworn it was done by Papa himself.

I do think it would work. The zipper stops before the end channel so the whipping style should not effect the netting application. The important thing is the zippers must be the same lengths. For example, If your zipper length on the hammock is 130" the zipper length must be 130" on the netting as well.

Order from Papa Smurf at Dream Hammocks.

I apoligize that I framed my question incorrectly

Certainly did not mean to slight Papa smurf in any way.
