Just a quick question for those who buy polypropylene strapping from Strapworks. Do most people buy the lightweight or the heavyweight? It will be used to make tree straps for a hammock. Both can handle the load.
Thanks

lightweight weighs less/ft, which is the decider for most folks hauling their home on their back..KM
if both can handle the load, than why would you not get the lighter weight ones?? strapworks is a well-known company that has good prestige for quality stuff, i dont think you have anything to worry about with either choice
I'm no lightweight so I tend to err on the side of safety. If I remember right the lightweight is rated at ~750# (give or take). At 250 that only gives me a 3X ratio of safety. Given the forces at work on the suspension by dynamic stress and the inconsistencies of suspension angle I have opted for the heavy weight. HYOH. YMMV
I may be slow... But I sure am gimpy.
