That’s my design 🙂 I’m glad you like it! I think it is available in the order field. Be sure to ask if not.

Is it possible to order poly fabric with this design (I enjoy puting the hammock together from scratch).?

LOL, yes, disclaimers understood. And I didn’t realize the ENO hooks were normal climbing anchors! I could probably get those cheaper! I guess I should ask Black Diamond directly to make sure their Neutrino biners are safe to use with stainless steel climbing anchors. I asked ENO that question and they said I shouldn’t mix different metal materials, and since their climbing anchors are stainless steel, I should only use steel biners and not whatever metal the Neutrino biners are made from. Also, don’t know if you knew, but ENO is shipping steel biners with their latest indoor hammock kits rather than the black rope they used to ship with.

Anyway, thanks again, Derek! =:)

Yes. I’ve clipped directly. As I said before, the movement and stress are far less in a hammock. Of course, I will not be liable if your equipment fails 🙂 adding a short cord or webbing is certainly a good idea and I do that in my room with the ENO hooks. Which, by the way, are just normal climbing anchors with the ENO branded on.

A lot of hammocks are poly based. Coated fabrics are the ones to worry about as they are not breathable. The polyester hammocks are very breathable. I’ve used many over the years and are usually my favorite fabric.

Thanks again, Derek! Yeah, I remember watching your hammock video a long time ago, when it first started indoor hammocking. =:) Have you ever tried attaching climbing carabiners like the Black Diamond Neutrino directly to hardware like the ENO indoor hanging kit?

How would this polyester fabric compare – might my skin feel clammy against the fabric?

Sure Jason. I actually did a post and a video on hanging indoors that might interest you. Most of the time I use large eye bolts (at last count, I have 7 hang points in my house, in 4 different rooms). I have a pair of ENO’s hang kit in my master bedroom (it’s more discreet). I’ve read that hardware on hardware (carabiners on eye bolts) is bad. Certainly in some situations, like doing a multi-pitch climb up El Capitan, you want to minimize risks. Indoors with a hammock, I don’t have any problem clipping a carabiner to other hardware (you’ll note from the video that I use S-hooks and short chain links for adjustability). The problem with hardware-on-hardware is they can be very unforgiving if things flex. With a fixed-point hammock indoors, especially with a carabiner on a large eye-bolt, the twisting action that would cause problems is minimal if not nonexistent.
