    11 foot crinkle taffeta nylon fabric (a.k.a. “parachute nylon”) hammock?

    Hello all.
    I'm new to hammockforms.net, but have been hammock camping and sleep full time in a hammock for the past 3 years.

    Very curious to know if anybody has come across a crinkle taffeta nylon fabric (a.k.a. “parachute nylon”) hammock longer then 9 feet.

    I have a few hammocks including the Dutch chameleon which is my favorite go to for camping.

    But my very first hammock and one I find vary comfortable is a cheap 9-ft hammock from sail.

    I currently sleep every night in an 11 ft hammock.

    I would really like to get a crinkle taffeta nylon fabric (a.k.a. “parachute nylon”) hammock that is 11 ft, but after endless searching I can't seem to find any bigger than 9 ft.

    Any help will be greatly appreciated. I might just have to reserve to making my own.

    Happy hanging. 🌳👍🌳

    I have DIY'd two such hammocks. Both are the 132-inch x 90-inch.

    Here is a link:

    Make it as long as you wish.

    Hi Joe

    Thank you for the link.

    I had a feeling that was going to be the only route of achieving an 11 ft hammock like that.

    I don't understand why they don't make them bigger than nine feet with that material.

    I guess most of the general public doesn't spend time sleeping in them, but you still think there would be one or two companies out there doing it.

    Thanks again i appreciate it. I guess I'm off to the DIY section. Lol

    Happy hanging 🌳👍🌳
