Do the straps open so you can put it around a branch or do you have to slide it on the branch?

Yes, the straps are one length of heavy-duty nylon. One end has the very strong clip and the other end has an open loop so you can hook them together. I am very happy with the set-up I rigged for my grandson's swing.

The width all depends on the length of the strap that is supplied. I have used it on 4 trees now, and the current tree is probably 4 foot around but I also had to use one of my own ratchet straps for the lower half due to the width of the tree. I have more of a problem with thinner trees than wider trees, the wider the better I say. They sway less in the wind.

All my veranda pieces have 2 click straps, opposing sides. I use the pull strap to loop around as well after I have tightened them.

Oh no don't hurt your trees! They sell these straps that you can use to secure the hammock with no pain to the tree. They were crazy cheap like $15 and work great, you can get them from Amazon too.

If you have it attached to the tree with a single rope attached to a hook that's why it twists. You would have to attach it to the tree with 2 ropes if u want to swing.

It can be opened and then closed around the tree limb. The loops slip out of the silver part.

I said no and my husband said yes. He also stated that it depended on the strength of the branch and you could use the chains etc that come with it. I wouldn't use the chains as they would eat into the bark of the branch and eventually harm it. It is your swing and your tree so you will decide anyway. You got two versions with us.

you have to wrap the strap around the branch you do not have to pass it through.

The perimeter of the branch exceeds 36", so they won't go all the way around. I have screwed hooks into the tree, from which they hang. Seems to work fine,

It comes with a tree strap but no safety rope......i make my own and put the sliding noose on myself......

We hung our HugglePod outside from a tree branch. We used the 2" nylon strap and metal loop that came with it to wrap around the tree branch twice. We then connected a metal chain to the metal loop to lower the swing to the height we wanted and connected it to the chain with a quick link. That way we can unscrew the quick link and take the swing down or move it to another location when we want.

Somewhat difficult. You would have to put the strap around the tree at ground level before you started to climb. As you ascended the tree you would also have to move the strap that you put loosely around the tree as you go up. Once you were at the level you want to hunt from tighten the strap around the tree. Better to buy the HSS "tree strap" that comes with a Lyman's belt that you can use on the way up. You should always be attached to the tree no matter what you do. Go to HSS web site for instruction on the tree strap. The Tree strap and lifeline together.

This replaces a tree strap. You attach your safety harness to this and slide the prussic knot up as you climb. When you get to the top, you slide it above your head and hunt. You are attached all the way from the ground to the stand and back, never unhooking until you are safely on the ground.

Well, out of the box, I don't think the strap is long enough to loop around a tree. However, it could be done if you are willing to spend extra on a piece of 1.5 inch nylon strap and carabiner(s), then loop it through the end of the rip60. It still be cheaper than the TRX Force. IMHO.

Hook open. I will swing on mine like a nimbly little spider with no problem, it works well and looks neat. Hope this helps.

Hi,Straps can go through either the window or door opening I guess. I always put them through the door and then close the doors on them. Not sure how it would work with sliding doors.

Comes with rope, as shown in the picture. 12' maybe? Don't remember. Our tree is low enough that we didn't need straps though. Just wound it around the big branch a couple of times and secured it with the big metal clamps that comes with the swing.
