Reason I ask is, there is several methods to hang a hammock, and they all have their own associated gear. Nomenclature can also vary, especially by continent you live on. A "buckle" to some folks in the states could mean a "triglide" to someone else.
Using "climbing tape"... Are you referring to something like Metolius Climbing Tape? This one concerns me. The standard practice would be to use 1" polyester straps with at least 1000 lbs (454 Kgs) that won't stretch, climbing tape is nowhere near strong enough to support the tension required to keep you airborne.
If you can post a picture on what you plan to use, there are a ton of people on the forum who'll be glad to assist.
Stay safe...
