Well Made

Strong strap good heavy hardware. If you use it (or anything else) on pine trees you'll have to clean it up.



Regarding another reviewer's comment: no you're not stuck with too long or too short a tail. Here's what to do.



Begin by holding the loop on the tree and wind around the tree until you get to the ring end.



Stop at the "too long" setting pass the ring through the loop and continue around the tree IN THE OPPOSITE DIRECTION. At some point you'll have the length you need - however it will probably be pointing in a wrong direction. Note where it's pointing!



Now undo it all and begin again but this time start the loop end at a point on the tree where after you've wrapped it all the ring end will point in your desired direction (toward the hammock).



If you think you'll use the same tree again mark the starting point with a small notch on the tree and hanging the hammock will be a snap.

Awesome tree friendly straps.

I bought the PRO straps for my hammock and they rock. At first I was confused since the straps say they are rated for 200lbs but the picture shown says they should carry 400lbs. As my hammock can hold 400 lbs I wanted that same capacity from my straps. A quick call to the manufacturer clarified that the capacity is per strap and the total load can indeed be 400 lbs. They just haven't updated their photos of the product. Using these is a snap they haven't scared or chafed the bark on the trees and they did hold both myself and my husband just fine. They even survived a 6 year old using the hammock for a swing and slide set all weekend. MUCH easier than saggy ropes that cut into the poor trees. They are light and much smaller than the picture makes them look.More detail ...
