    Looking for suspension ideas, 3 trees!

    Hi,
    Here is the scenario, I've got 3 trees In a triangle configuration in my backyard. They are 35'x40'x50' apart. I'm trying to hang up to 5 hammocks but I'm thinking spreader bars and a tandem setup for at least one. I ordered 300' of 7/64 amsteel blue from seattle marine today and I'm looking for ideas from the pros!! What's the best way to go about this?

    Edit: guess I should list my other assets thus far. I got 4 sets of eno tree straps, two eno double nests, and two pro nests. Various caribeaners ect. I'm just not sure about these distances.

    How big/sturdy are the trees? Would you consider hanging something semi-permanent between the trees?

    Huge and yes, two are big pines and would be a pain to crawl in all the time.

    My first thought was stringing metal cable between the trees and hanging the hammocks below the cable. If you Google zip line cabling that's what crossed my mind. I think that'd be more resistant to the elements and sag less than rope.
