Speer Hammocks sells a "Make your own hammock kit" - which comes with the pattern AND all the materials... www.speerhammocks.com

Hammock Forums has an insane amount of info on all subjects related to hanging in the backcountry... www.hammockforums.net

More great items listed on Just Jeff's Hammock Camping page www.tothewoods.net

And, better than all the rest, talk to our resident experts Te-Wa and Drewboy. These guys are legends in the AZ hanging community.

Happy hangin'!

or, just cut a bedsheet about 10x5 and tie a knot in each end. then put a larkshead on each knot with some non-stretchy rope (no nylon)
THAT is as cheap as it gets. dont tell wife where missing bedsheet went, trust me. :P
