As svelte as Meredith is she could jump with her "spike-heeled pumps" from the cabin roof on to the hatch and do absolutely no damage. 
You however, given the same scenario, would do a lot of damage.  |
I'd do a lot of damage in more than one way. Trust me, no one wants to see me dressed like that.

I really like the hammocks that Moose and Marvin have, but I am concerned about the strain it would put on things....particularly the brow of the roof. Have either of you had any issues with the hammocks? How much weight have you put in them? Thannks.

Rob I haven't had any issues and I weigh about 180 lbs. I don't think Moose's design connects to the roof rails. I guess half my weight is on the brow or about 45 lbs at each connection point. I think if I built another one I would make it support from the bowrail only but so far no problem.

I was wondering the same. I'm very careful not to put any weight (no stepping) on the brow.
The hammocks look great though!
