How easy is it to knot? I want to hold up a hammock, and if it slips, it's bad.

I don't think there is a real issue with tangling. Remember that a large part of your cords tangling is based mostly on your body movement and the way you take them off and put them back on. Taking them off and putting them is when the tangling occurs so if you are mindful of that, tangling will be minimal.

no no no and NO ............ I constantly have to go untangle my dogs (as they often wrap it so bad they only have like 4" of line left) ......... tho I think this would probably work well if it were attached to an inground. Other than that I absolutely love this tie out and feel confident in its holding power.

Its not hard. Slip the thin part of the strap into the bottom or top hole and push it through leaving an open loop. Thread the thick part through the loop, pull tight and you are all set.Good LuckKenWebmasterAbout Facts Net

The loop at the end of your hammock goes into the hook - and the Y supports the strings..(hope that makes sense) it makes sense when you put your hammock in there!

Not rope but a nylon cord that is 1/4 " that runs the full length and sticks out some. So you can thread it easier.

Incredibly easy. No instructions, but you want the end with all the loops near it to be attached to the hammock. Just push the one end through the other after wrapping it around a tree. Plenty of adjustability.

It is as stiff as fine wire. So yes, it can hold a knot, but not every knot.

You need tree straps to go around the trees then you attach it to the straps. This hammock is very attractive however it is very unstable. You have to be very careful getting in or out.

I have not had too much of a tangling problem. I have noticed the last couple of times that it tangled a little bit. I had to untwist it and lay it out straight before I could roll it back up and pit it away. The last time I used it I layed it out flat again and stayed with it for a few minutes to make sure it was feeding out ok and not twisting at its longest run. good luck with it. Hope this helps.

It's very easy....of course, you're going to have to put pressure on the belt to get it over where it hooks. It has to be on there tight or you've done it incorrectly. Any belt no matter what it's on (ex. lawn mower, etc.) has got to be pulled tight to wrap around. Everything with this machine is just a matter of following the directions!!

I have to buy a new hammock that is much heavier to give me stability. I had the same problem so I experimented. The higher/tighter you make the hammock you flip. You guessed it it is situated close to the ground. I wish this company would give us credit for a real hammock.

There are two hooks on each side that hold the bungee cord, so you do not have to knot the end of the cord. I usually do not knot the cord, as that way the cord is adjustable.

My rope broke the first week I had it. I would go to a fabric store and try to find something similar to it and staple it to the tree.Its just an Idea.

I have no problem with it slipping once the Velcro is strapped down! This is one of the best inventions ever!

It is easy to tie, very pliable. Does not hold knots very well. Almost feels like Teflon.

Its fairly wide, so I would say not super easy to tie any kind of knot. It would probably compromise some of the strength of the webbing where the knots were. Its very similar to seat belt strap material.
