I am making hammocks for my Brother in Law and 3 nephews for Christmas. I have all my nylon and thread ready to go. What do you guys think will be the cheapest suspension route for 4 rigs?

Money is not flowing at the moment or I'd go crazy, so reccomend away!

Tie down straps from Harbor freight. I used them on the hammocks Big lots was selling for my Brother and Sister. You have to look at the rating cause they have different kinds. I think I got the 400 lbs rating and they worked fine. They were orange. Some have used the $3.99 lashing straps but I thought it was too wimpy for me. GLP is right too, can't go wrong with the amsteel.

Mule Tape? Some people are able to source this for just about free. You'd need to tie knots but its not expensive.

I have a set of amsteel whoopies that will be PIF'd to you when you PM me your address. That's one down, 3 to go.

Cheapest? That would be mule tape. I am running low, but should have enough for 2 maybe three hammocks.... I should be able to ship in the next day or two. Pm me your address if you want some...

In a month or so, I should have another 2000 feet or more... I just can't lift it right now....
