You asked about lie. I am a predominant side sleeper and I'm 6'2" 250+. I am a nightly sleeper in a DIY double layer hammock. I wind up sleeping banana in a ball by the end of the night. I would also bodge together a quick gathered end single layer hammock try it for a while. There can be a lot of tweaking on suspension and ridgeline to get you're perfect comfy. It seems like for me the ridgeline length can make a huge difference. Good luck!

nice i plan on doing this

haha well i guess it is a loaded question haha truthfully this is my first build and i have never laid in nylon hammock so im flying blind and winging it its a project i thought would be cool and i wanted to build my own rather than buy one far as friends or group hangs not really an option my boy is in cub scouts and i know i don't like sleeping on the ground and have always loved hammocks and im 6 foot tall around 230 pounds haven't thought about a foot box haha

I'm with you, dude. I started making hammocks so I could get off the ground at Cub Scout outings. It was slow to catch on, but this past weekend a few of the other Dads were there sporting hammocks (all store bought). I've made several styles of hammock and my favorite for side sleeping is the WBBB variety. The foot box really does make a difference.

Isn't the foot box made with a little bit of shock cord to gather the hammock together or is there added material

Also been looking at zing it and lash it for odds and end stuff and possibly a tarp when this is done but have color issues closest thing i could find to black was the gray lash it :screwy: i think all ropes and lines should be made in black also its not th 2.2mm its the 1.75mm not sure i want any smaller than 2.2mm

[croycrabtree]

found 2.2mm lash it at Redden Marine Supply like 32 bucks shipped for 180 foot now i don't remember why i wanted it i guess its for the tarp i will build later on hahaha

Croycrabtree, I'm sorry for the comment. It wasn't helpful in anyway what so ever. Guess I just came across your thread at the wrong time (bad mood), and typed before I thought. Will you forgive me?
