Thank you..,,for £4.99 and only one left I'd go for it!!!!

With a punt for 4.99- but it labels it as canvas then says material: nylon??? When it's only a fiver I'd go for it mate .

all it is is the canvas, you gotta construct the a-frame yourself, its like a stretcher without poles

I got one a few weeks ago. Not properly set it up yet but it seems pretty sturdy for a fiver. And they are nylon, not canvas.

I always thought that "canvas" referred to the weave of a material, rather than what it's made of? Cotton canvas, poly-cotton canvas, nylon canvas etc...........I don't know if this is correct, just what I've always thought....

 

[GGTBod]

I used canvas to just refer to the material

Ooh- I reckon that'll be my bad- I always thought canvas was the same as cotton canvas?

In modern terminology it is the weave.. originally "Canvas" was specifically Hemp, the very name coming from the same root as "Cannabis"

Interesting! I'm definitely going to use some hemp,fabric when I can and maybe the rope too, interesting fabric.

I was tempted by this bed at £4.99 as a potential project to do at The Moot, but when there was an additional £5.95 for P&P I changed my mind. Yeah, call me a skinflint.

LOL! Naaaah, thing is I have 3 different types of fold down beds from a British Army issue cot to a foldaway sun lounger, plus I have 2 hammocks as well as 3 different types of self-inflatable sleep mats, so sleeping options isn't an issue really. But this would have been just another impulse buy but like I said, the deciding factor was finding I had another £6 to pay before I got it. So I figured I didn't need it after all.

Good luck to those who did buy one, looking forward to seeing what you make out of them like the A frame stretcher bed.

I sometimes do that too but i am murder for adding a few more things i don't need either to make the postage cost worth it especially if it is after 2am when i am doing this browsing
