would these work? http://www.harborfreight.com/automot...set-93109.html

Looks like they should.

Most of our cottage vendors also sell webbing and finished tree straps...here and here.

Welcome to the hammock world. I also use a WB Super Fly. It's a great tarp lots of room. And I like the idea of having doors gives me privacy and keeps wind and rain out.

It's a great tarp. Congrats.

Congrats on the soooopaflyyy!!!! Just got one in the mail today, myself ..surprise from my wife. Anyway for webbing, I was looking at strapworks.com but their shipping was ridiculous. Found this: http://www.amazon.com/Polyester-Webb...I2HMR6WBKT0GRJ. If you do not want to sew, strapworks has some called simple straps ready to go in the length of your choosing. Happy hanging!

Just about all the hammock vendors here sell webbing/straps specifically suited for hammock use. Specifically...polyester webbing in the 1500-3000 lbs breaking strength range.

I have similar ones to this from Harbor Freight. They were a cam buckle type instead of ratcheting. They are item number 47759, not sure they still carry them, I picked them up last summer. Make sure the ones you get specifically mention polyester on the package, mine did, and you should be fine. They have been working fine. But I haven't really put them through any real tests yet. If it matters I'm what they call "Milwaukee Sized" up here, so if your a normal sized guy I don't think it will matter.
