I'm just chasing a local source in Australia for some 1" webbing to use for tree straps.
I've checked the local spotlight (large fabric wholesale shop) and a few automotive stores for webbing. It's all bloody expensive, heaps more than it's available for in the US.
7 yards was $29 oat spotlight on a roll.
But, spotlight are selling out all there 1.9oz ripstop ($3 per meter) so I was wondering if it could be used as a tree strap.
Maybe cut say a 4 or 6" wide strip to the desired length, Then fold and fold etc until it's a 1" wide, 4 or 6 layer thick strap of ripstop.
Simply just run a hem down each edge to hold it all together and sew then end loops like normal.
Do you think that would be strong enough as other than the time it's a cheap enough solution ??
Any comments or experience appreciated
