    What is your best source for webbing?

    The last time I bought webbing I purchased a 300' roll for around $37 including shipping from shipperssupplies.com ($25 for webbing @ $12 shipping). It was black 1" webbing with a 1500# break limit (other colors were at least $11 more). That roll I split 3 ways with two members here and now I'm almost out. I'm looking to purchase some more so I thought I would pose the question to see what sources others were using for webbing.

    I like the black webbing and it was good quality in my opinion. I'd love to have camo, but I fear it would only add to the possibility of leaving them behind, so a good source for webbing of other colors would be nice. I've checked strapworks and at .59 a foot, the price is prohibitive. And although their patterns are cool, think after a while that would just fade into the background and you would no longer benefit from the "cool" factor of having webbing with flames printed on it. I don't need a 300' roll necessarily, but if I do keep the whole roll it would probably be all I would need for quite a while which saves on shipping.

    300' at $37 works out to only .12 a foot shipped, so I realize that I'm dealing with a pretty good deal already, but I just wanted to address all my options before I pull the trigger. I am willing to pay more per foot for different colors, but I would still like to order at least 150' because I like to make my straps around 10' long which works out to 20' per setup. Anyone have any suggestions?

    There is always strapworks.com if you want some fancy straps.

    I purchased stuff on Amazon that was supposed to be Poly but turned out to be Nylon...75 yards of stuff I don't like.

    For lightweight and use with Marlin Spike Hitches, I liked the stuff from Dutchware.

    For use with cinch buckles I liked the thickness of the stuff from Arrowhead Equipment or Warbonnet.

    When I had to order a bunch, 30 hammocks worth, I was extremely pleased with the product, pricing and customer service from Gary at Readystrap.com. I would check with Gary first before placing an order anywhere else.

    Ask Gary for blue straps and I'll bet you get an incredible deal.

    Their webbing is from China and is very poor quality if you want my opinion.
    I used to purchase from them but I had several complaints about color fading almost to white within a few weeks.
    And also I B!tched at them for sending me two rolls that were almost useless. They had a birds nest in the webbing about every 10 feet throughout both rolls.

    on the other hand has high quality webbing at the same or close to the same prices and I believe most of it comes from factories in N. Caroliner.

    Although I did not have a problem with the webbing I bought from them, I will definitely check out Tennessee webbing. Thanks LostinSpace!

    And if you don't see anything on their site just give them a call. Ask for Dan. They have very high quality 1200 and 3000lb webbing for short money.

    Well I broke down and ordered the 1200 lb webbing from tn webbing. (Thanks lost in space). Compared to the shippers supply webbing this stuff is very thin but a really tight weave. The shippers supply stuff was a little loose but worked fine for me while it lasted. Had to order 600' to get the $50 minimum but now I have webbing for any project I plan in the future like canoe tie downs and replacing the straps on my bike rack. Made in USA won me over.
