    1" Polyester webbing?

    Hi all,

    I am about to make a hammock (a la Risk's zHammock) for my daughter. Well, four of them - because she can't hang alone, right?

    I was looking for 1" polyester webbing and came across:

    Seems to come out to $0.15/foot.

    Has anyone used them? Is 6600# overkill? Would 3000# be enough? I am going by 1/5 breaking strength, and with 600# lateral exerted by a loaded hammock, 6600# seems more appropriate.

    Also: eBay/fabricsupplier is sending sans shipping per the HF deal (thanks, Rachel!) (calendared ripstop - too bad it was not uncalendared), Noah Lamport for silnylon seconds, and hopefully owfinc for the rest... Can't wait...!

    Thoughts?
