Cotton canvas for making hammocks.

[John Fenna]

Does anyone know of a retailer of good quality medium weight cotton canvas for making a hammock - it is a long time since I made a canvas hammock and cannot decide who s supply ids good and also cheap!
Any pointers would be welcomed!

I usually get canvas from Point North Profabrics or Abbey England. Found both to be reliable retailers with good quality fabrics.

I have used them a lot in the past - I used to sell my DIY gear making books through them - but I am really looking for a cheaper source now... I am only a pensioner now

Yeah, they can be quite pricey. I've often got my eye on ebay and such, looking for cheap supplies. If I see any good deals, I'll send them your way.

You wouldn't happen to be able to make a RN or a USN hammock?

I am sorted - I found a canvas tarp I made ages ago and rarely used that will be remade as a hammock - for zero expenditure!
