“Hennessey sells a two person hammock shelter system.

The Safari delux weighs 3.4 pounds, haz a 12'x6' canopy, has a max weight rating of 300 pounds, and costs $139.

If you just want a two person hammock to lounge in, I think Campmor has a net hammock.

I only weigh 155, if you weigh 145 or less, we gotta get one ;^)”

“Sir, Thanks Sarg, Sir

Hubby is 6 foot 5 inches, 240 lbs hunk a hunk a burnin? love. With me that is over the 300. I?ll check out campmor.”

“Well then, don't tell your husband what I said 8^O”

“mtn gal, if you're looking for just a hammock (rather than a hammock tent) and want a serious piece of gear, you might consider a Pro Pod. I've never seen one, but I've heard they're great. Big enough for two, very lightweight. You'd have to have it mailed from the UK, though.

Sgt Rock, you ever seen these???”

“Looks nice, but I can't find a load limit listed. Triple stiched and heavy duty stiched is a good sign. I hate converting grams to ounces, but it looks like the two person weighs about 43oz. You would have to add a fly and bug screen if you wanted a total shelter. I bet you could rig a bug screen for about 4 ounces with a ridge line (like a hennessey) and use a Campmor sil-tarp for a fly.”

“Thanks Mutt

Those cloth hammocks look pretty simple. I think I will get out the sewing machine and stitch up my own. There is a place in Boise that sells appropriate fabrics.”

“The hammock is for fair weather sleeping and play. We haul a tent too. Last year the skiiders and horse files were gone by mid August in the mountains.”

“Forgot to mention that the people making the Pods are supposed to be very responsive to questions and are supposedly quite friendly & helpful. That's all secondhand info, though.

I might try contacting them about a load limit. I'm curious now.

Mtn Gal, you might also look at a treeboat, if you're going to sew a hammock. you should note it's design. It's much more stable than a conventional hammock, which would be good for, ah, "play".

The treeboat with the tent option (only available from the manufacturer) is probably the best hammock tent out there (although heavy).”
