    weight limits ?

    Ok so every hammock has a weight limit attached to it right.... Well has anyone ever exceeded it ? If so, by how much and what happened? Was it immediately or was it over night ? What exactly failed ?

    No. DIY one's from mystery cloth do not. Sat down in a Speer type and kept going as it ripped. Liner type rayon,

    I was told that all fabric bought from commercial fabric stores is 1.9. I find that most people accept the limitations set by .. I'd either wb or Henn.. I forget which one it is. Either way one of the two of them have a list of fabrics and their recommended weight limits.
