This might be a stupid question, but, this is made of parachute material right? Does it have the same durability and strength as your hammocks?

It is a slippery material not sure about the durability. We ordered one that is more like microfiber material. More cozy

I bought mine to take on a hike through the Yosemite back country, so I haven't used it yet and can't speak to its durability. It feels very soft and light. It's made of nylon. Machine washable and dryable. Made in Indonesia.

I've not tried to hang from it, but I can vouch for its durability. It's traveled to Madagascar, Italy, Thailand, up and down the west coast, used as a blanket, pillow, bag, and in the summer I use it instead of my sheets as it maintains just the right temperature. Exceptionally durable, it is in Like New condition after all that usage. But no, haven't used it as a hammock ;)

Not sure if it has the same durability but it does not easily tear. I used it for a week and was satisfied.

We have never had that problem. We have put up to 500 lbs on them at one time, had kids bouncing and swinging in the hammock and straps have stayed strong with little to no stretching.

VERY durable hammock. I weigh 235 & also had my 110lb son in with me for a test. I believe the load limit is understated. I feel very comfortable swinging & sleeping in it. Good Luck!

It's made of some type of soft twIne, I think. Looks great and is very comfy. I used t have a Brookstone rope hammock, like this much better.Hope this helps.

Henessey is hands-down an awesome hammock.... they have a model for larger people just check the weight capacity and you are fine

It's normal tarp material - pretty thin, not super sturdy. That being said, I've gone on 4 or 5 camping trips with this tent, and there are no holes or anything in the tent floor. It's held up quite well, and it's water proof. I will say that my tent pole string snapped before my last trip, so that was kind of a bummer. It could still get the tent up, but it was a little more challenging.

Hi There - I am the manufacturer of the Hammock Bliss Sleep Sack. The sleep sack is made from 100% nylon parachute material. The material feels soft like silk but it is extremely durable, does not snag, is completely breathable and washes perfectly in the washing machine and dries perfectly in the dryer. The more you wash your sleep sack the softer it gets!

These are web style straps. They will practically wrap around anything but....the beam needs to be able to support the person in the hammock. Also, the web strap will tighten and slide a bit which may cause paint and/or stucco (even bark) damage. Not much but easily fixable.

It sways a small amount. I don't think it was made to swing like the traditional hammocks between two trees. So your answer is no. It is very comfortable, very easy to assemble, and it has a weight limit (300 lbs). At times a little unstable. Made for adults not children.

I am unsure as to how much weight it would hold. I have an ENO Hammock, it is a parachute style material, similar to your material, they sell what are called ATLAS straps that are rated for up to 400 lbs. I highly recommend them.

Yes, I do believe it's the same as I have only a different color. It does appear to be a double even though the weight capacity is only 300lbs. Where as the eno double nest might be 400lbs. If you're thinking of two persons use I wouldn't be afraid to give it a go. These hammocks are pretty dang tuff. -Pete G

Well the hammock was great while it lasted, however the hammock did NOT last very long! 3 months In Florida weather and the strings were rotting in half. My plan is to go back to my original hammock which was made of nylon. Length wise, yes I think it would've worked for you. Hope this helps.

The material seems durable, but in my opinion, many air beds (this included) will eventually fail depending upon length of use. Ours failed after a few months of daily indoor use. It may be OK for occasional camping.

We have put up to 385 lbs on ours and I was more worried about my hammock giving out than the tree straps. They are very sturdy! You might also be interested to know that they stand up to all weather conditions and still perform just as well. We left ours on the trees through a harsh 6 month winter and they are just as strong as they were last summer when they were brand new.

Not sure of the material. But I think it is some synthetic like nylon. There are reinforcing braces all along the top just below the canopy. and there are braces leading up to the top. I use mine at least once a week, and find it great,, easy to put up and down,myself!. Also it is not to heavy for me to carry in it's own bag. It is not a thick braced heavy duty tent, but it is very worth the price!

I am not a structural or materials engineer but this strap is similar to seat belt strap some of which is load rated at over 10,000 lbs. Your more important question will likely be how to attach it to a hammock or to itself if you are making loops. Standard polyester thread is not going to be nearly as strong as this strap is so you will want to find some heavier thread. Alternately you might be able to use metal buckles and double the strap over on itself. The strap is thick enough to double over, melt a hole and put a bolt through it.
