    Lots of folks have been pleased with Strapworks for webbing. (But DO NOT use nylon if you're talking hammock suspension - it stretches like crazy - go with polypropylene or polyester.)

    Absolutely ... have placed two orders with them ... quick and excellent customer service. Can't say enough good about them. Oh and the product is great.

    What are you hanging in your hammock? A car?

    Ratcheting tiedown straps for the big org and and big blue have served me well for suspension. 500lbs limit. I cut the hooks off the ones I have and attached "Dutch clip" to the loop that is already sewn. Wam bam ty maam

    O yea Ed Speers sells some poly webbing.
