Anybody know where I can get 2" wide tree straps made out of the same material as the tree straps made by Dutch (and others)?
I got a set from ReadyStrap, and they're completely diesel/overbuilt (great quality), but weigh in at almost 10 ounces which is insane! My 4 foot long, 1" thick tree straps from Dutch are 2.44 ounces, so double that weight for 2" wide ones is around what I'm looking for. Thanks in advance for any help.
Clark sells 2" x 81" straps that weigh 3.6 ounces/pair. I don't know what they are made of...

Strapworks.com has a wide variety of tree straps. I would recommend 2 inch loops if you go with them though because my 1 inch loops were too small to fit the webbing through when I ordered my first set.
I thought Dutch started selling 2" seatbelt material straps, but, I didn't see them on his site. Someone recently adding them to their website. Hopefully they will chime in.
Enjoy and have fun with your family,before they have fun without you
We go up to 1.5" seatbelt straps....at 2500 pound test rating I can't see stocking anything any larger...they come in at 9.6 grams per foot. That works out to about 3.2 ounces for a pair of straps that start off at 5 foot and finished length of 4 foot.

I could only find 120' rolls of the polyester, flat, 2" long. Sent them an email about making them with loops on each end so we'll see.Originally Posted by Fancy Ramen
Those are nylon, which stretches, unfortunately.
The seatbelt material is the problem with the weight I believe - it's EXTREMELY heavy (well, compared to the 1" straps most people use at least).
It's not about the weight limit, it's about how some parks in the country require 2" straps or you can't use your hammock. Just thought I'd be proactive and pickup a set.
+1 on strapworks. I bought about a hundred feet off their clearance rack a few years ago. It made several sets of straps for myself and Timberr/Gumbo. I have no real thread injecting skills but a bunch of zigzags to make loops in straps is even within my skill set. Good luck

Don't they stretch and you end up on the frigged ground? I am asking,,, because I became an Icicle....

Who continued to bother and howl;
He sat on a rail, And imbibed bitter ale,
Which refreshed that Old Man and his owl.WOO
