    Table cloth DIY Hammock?

    Hi Guys,

    How much weight do these hold. I was thinking of the 132 x 90, whipping the ends and adding amesteel loops.

    I ask because I don't want to sit my 325 lbs down and go right though it.


    Thanks guys,

    Pete

    You should be fine. I've read that they have been tested up to 450# with no ill effects. That being said, don't hang any farther than you are willing to fall
    If you ain't havin' fun, you're doin' it wrong

    We made both of ours double-layer, so we can put insulation on the bottom. I would imagine doubling greatly increases the strength also.
