The DD Hammocks Frontline Hammock weighs 850g and provides all season camping comfort with built in ultra fine mosquito net. This 2.7m x 1.4m double layer hammock accommodates users up to 6ft 5" and 125kg, making it the most popular choice for UK hammock camping adventures across Scottish Highlands, Welsh valleys, and UK woodland.
The double layer construction allows sleeping mats or underblanket insertion for winter camping, while the breathable design keeps you cool in summer. The ultra fine mosquito net protects against Scottish midges and insects, with flexible setup options including zipped closed, rolled back, or hammock flipped for open lounging.
The 850g weight includes the hammock, built in mosquito net, 60cm spreader poles, and elastic cord. This makes the Frontline Hammock heavier than the DD Superlight Frontline Hammock (620g single layer) but provides the double layer construction that accommodates insulation for cold weather camping in Scottish Highlands and UK mountains.
The double layer design separates into a breathable base layer and top layer with velcro closure. Insert a partially inflated sleeping mat between layers for added insulation, or attach an underblanket using the 4 corner tabs for comprehensive underside warmth in winter conditions down to minus 5°C.
The 2.7m x 1.4m dimensions accommodate users up to 6ft 5" (196cm) comfortably. This standard size works for most adults, providing adequate length for diagonal sleeping position that creates a flatter lay compared to lying straight along the hammock length.
For taller users or those wanting extra space, the DD Frontline Hammock King Size measures 3.2m x 1.7m and weighs 1250g. For children, the DD Junior Frontline Hammock at 1.9m x 1.1m suits users up to 4ft (120cm).
The permanently attached mosquito net uses ultra fine mesh that blocks Scottish midges, mosquitoes, and small insects. The net suspends on two 60cm spreader poles with elastic cord, creating interior space that prevents the mesh from touching your face during sleep.
The mosquito net features double sided zippers for easy entry from either side. Zip the net fully closed for complete bug protection during Scottish Highland camping, roll it back and secure on the spreader poles for open lounging, or flip the entire hammock upside down to lie on the netting side for an open setup without removing the net.
The 125kg (19.7 stone) weight capacity accommodates most adults safely. The ripstop nylon construction prevents small tears from spreading, important for long term durability during regular wild camping and bushcraft activities. The fabric withstands regular packing and unpacking without degrading, making it suitable for frequent camping trips across UK terrain.
The DD Recycled Frontline Hammock uses the same 2.7m x 1.4m dimensions and 125kg capacity but constructs the main body from approximately 258 recycled plastic bottles, weighing 910g compared to the standard 850g.
Blends into UK woodland environments for wild camping discretion. Traditional outdoor camping colour that works across forest and countryside settings throughout Scotland, Wales, and England.
Works well in open moorland and autumn camping across Scottish Highlands and Welsh valleys. Versatile earth tone that suits varied terrain types across UK landscapes.
Multi terrain camouflage pattern for bushcraft and concealment. Works across varied UK landscapes from woodland to moorland for wild camping discretion.
Solid colour for urban camping and general outdoor use. Practical choice that hides dirt and wear from regular use during frequent camping trips.
High visibility colour for safety in remote areas. Makes location easier to find in emergency situations while camping in Scottish Highlands or Welsh valleys.
Deep green shade for woodland camping. Blends naturally into UK forest environments for wild camping discretion across Scotland and Wales.
The hammock includes 10m of webbing (5m each end) pre fitted for immediate setup. The webbing wraps around trees and connects to the hammock ends, providing basic suspension without additional equipment purchase.
Step 1: Find two healthy trees 15 to 20cm diameter, spaced 3 to 5 metres apart.
Step 2: Wrap the pre fitted webbing around each tree at chest height, securing with the provided attachment method.
Step 3: Insert the two 60cm spreader poles into the mosquito net sleeves.
Step 4: Attach the elastic cord to suspend the mosquito net away from the hammock body.
Step 5: Adjust webbing tension to create a slight banana curve in the hammock for optimal comfort.
Average setup time: 5 to 8 minutes with practice. For easier adjustment and faster setup, upgrade to DD Whoopie Slings which provide infinite adjustability and quicker deployment. The DD Tree Huggers protect tree bark from damage while providing secure attachment points.
This hammock is not waterproof and requires a tarp for rain protection during UK camping. The DD Tarp 3x3 provides excellent coverage for solo camping with 9 square metres of protection. The DD Tarp 4x4 offers 16 square metres for extended stays or group camping.
For ultralight backpacking, the DD Superlight Tarp weighs 510g and provides 8.7 square metres of coverage. Browse our complete camping tarps collection for all DD tarp options.
The 4 internal pockets (one in each corner) store small items like torches, phones, glasses, and snacks within easy reach during the night. The 2 hanging loops suspend additional items or provide attachment points for accessories.
The 4 base tabs on each corner serve multiple purposes: peg out the hammock for ground dwelling use, suspend equipment underneath, or attach an underblanket for winter camping insulation.
The breathable double layer design keeps you cool while the mosquito net provides complete bug protection against Scottish midges and insects. No additional insulation needed for UK summer conditions.
Insert a sleeping mat between the double layers for added insulation. The DD Jura 2 Sleeping Bag rated to minus 2°C works well for shoulder season camping across Scottish Highlands and Welsh valleys.
Combine the DD Hammock Quilt with DD Underblanket for comprehensive top and bottom insulation down to minus 5°C. Browse our hammock quilts and underblankets collection for all insulation options.

Looks like a great bit of kit (DD HAMMOCK)
Absolutel pleasure dealing with this company he actually rang me and explained about delivery options. Lovely man would 100% buy from him again
I have been using the Frontline hammock for years now, in a regular rotation with the rest of the DD Hammocks range of camping hammocks on my own weekly trips.
This hammock is one of the most balanced hammocks on the market in my opinion. It's not overly heavy, or bulky in comparison to some of DD's other offerings. It has an attached mozzie net, which is essential if you plan to be camping in Scotland. The hammock can simply be flipped over when in an insect-free environment. It is comfortable and easy to set up. It is also fairly durable.
The DD Frontline isn't the best all-round hammock available in the market. However, it is the best option in its price range for a general hammock camping enthusiast who doesn't travel 25 miles on foot, with their kit on their back. I recommend the DD superlight range if you are traveling long distances on foot.
The DD frontline (and its variations) are DD's most popular for good reason... It ticks most boxes for most people, which is exactly what it was designed to do!
I don't think there is a hammock camper in the UK that doesn't at least know someone who owns a Frontline hammock, and you will find very few complaints about them.
Well what can you say .outstanding, the hammock arrived quickly and very well wrapped ,have not had a proper chance to play with it yet . The whole experience with this company is 110% . This guy knows how to treat people and gives a first class experience from ordering to receiving it. Can't recommend wylies enough. Thanks will definitely be shopping with you again
