I think it looks great and the music sets the tone..lol.. i have a quesiton for you though. I just made my first diy from some good ripstop that a friend of mine donated and when I get in the sides fold in on my ..it seems there is too much tension to lay diagonal. It does lay flat and seems strong enough but its not hear as open as yours. more of a cacoon than hammock.. please help..

Sounds like your ridgeline is too tight. Try shortening it a little. There's tons of tips on the forum for ridgeline length. A quick search should provide some helpful Info.

I made this one rather quickly so the quality isn't perfect, however, the hang is just fine. One thing it includes is an adjustable ridgeline using a small whoopie sling at one end. Works great for fine tuning.

where is hammock island??

It's in Orange Beach at The Wharf waterpark. Some friends have a condo there. My rich uncle has a condo at Perido Pass. We go over to the Wharf for a couple days during our stay. You have to be staying there to get in.

It's a great place to spend the day. Several zero-entry pools, waterfalls, a lazy river, and of course, hammock island.


This video was actually from last year. Just got around to posting.
