    If you don't want to buy online, go to hardware stores and pick up ratchet straps (make sure they are polyester) and remove the hardware and turn those into hammock suspension like many people do.

    Some of the vendors here ship pretty quick though. How quickly do you need them?

    I'll probably do that, although I do feel a little bad cutting up a perfectly good ratchet strap!

    I'm leaving for Puerto Rico on Saturday!

    You could always reattach the hardware later in if you wanted. Have a safe trip!

    ebay

    Before Christmas I bought 300 yards from a seller on Ebay. All the kids (mine are in their 20's) got a ENO Single Nest under the tree, and I needed to make starps for each of them. He will send you samples on request. I have been very happy with the quality and heaviness.

    Amazon sells it also, pretty cheap. Usually get it in just a few days.

    +1 on the strapworks.com. Place has great options.

    Talking Straps

    Harbor Freight, Cam buckle straps with yellow polyester webbing. Says so on the package. About $8.00 for 4 -14 ft straps. Use bolt cutters, cut off the cam buckle and use the existing sewn loop. The loop is a little tight but its functional. They work well , just wear sunglasses when you look at them.
