Has anyone used these from HD? They 2 to a box. And have a 2 inch sewing strip with glue on each side? 20$ the only thing is there only 7 feet long. Would that be to short?

I just checked their website - those suckers are really heavy...stated weight is .667 lb.
And as to whether they are long enough..that depends of course on what you're using them for.
I was thinking bug net.
You can go much lighter and a whole less expensive for zipper needs - go to DIYGearSupply.Originally Posted by Markatrog
I have no idea how much zipper you need for a gathered end hammock. I use a bridge that has the zipper 3 sides around. Because I'm short, my bridge is as well so it took less than the 16' I ordered to do mine, cost was < $5.00. Don't forget to order the sliders...
Oh, and if you do get the H/D ones, they're not meant for sewing in, they have glue on them. Sewing machines don't like sewing sticky stuff.
