    Engineers, start your engines!!

    I need a horizontal bar that is strong enough to a hammock from each end. Basically, you have two of these bars, each attached to, or suspended from a tree (somehow). Then you would hang two hammocks between them.
    One of the possible materials for the bars is carbon fiber. Which I know close to absolutely nothing about. Here's a spec sheet. Does this say it could withstand the various dynamic forces? What do you think?

    I tried to insert a pdf but it didn't work. Sorry.
    How 'bout now?
    Nope, still didn't work.
