I was reluctant to modify my hammock to use the rings. This is an easy, cheap, and effective substitute.

I'll be picking up a second set for my daughter's hammock.

Hold everything!!!

I just spent three nites in my HH using the cleats... I did undo them ant tighten up my hang over the weekend but didnt notice anything at the time...

When I went to take everything down this morning... I noticed that one of the cleats' arms had bent ever so slightly! This occurred on both of the units.

Now here's what I need to know from you folks...

What is the diameter of the line that extends from a HH Desert Rat? (no, I have no idea about this stuff or where to find the info!)

The cleat packaging states "up to 3/8 inch diameter."

Have I over extended the cleats capacity?

I am so bummed about this. Hmmm Guess I'll have to start looking back into that ring buckle thing...
