    Ya I can attest that the Hardware store rings will work at that weight. I'm 140 or so and have never noticed any stress on my rings even if I jump in my hammock quickly putting a decent dynamic load on them.

    at your weight... for $5 more you can get the skeeter beeter and have a bug net too.... but again you are going to want to lose the s-hooks. (It's on sale too)

    skeeter beeter is popular here. I had one myself but I got it for my daughter. It was too small for me. I got 100# on you
