A while ago one of my buddies had a hammock he made from some rope and fabric, not thinking about it i didnt ask him what type of fabric he used and now im interested in making one for myself.

if anyone has made one of these could you share your stories and also what type of fabric/rope you used to make it hold up well?

There are some sites/forums out there (hammockforums.net is one) that have instructions on how to make more hennessy type hammocks.

He hangs around me, how else?
Also saw him grab an old lady and beat some info out of her once, then posted that knowledge on a thread here.

i found some instructions, i only asked about fabric because on this website it says to use a bedsheet...and that will not hold up for that long really.

What if you sew two bedsheets together, along the edges and then some perpendicular stitching across the middle a few times?
