Does anyone know what strength the hammock rope is? Is it 850 paracord

The hammock rope is 6mm nylon climbing rope with a breaking strength of 750 lbs.

It is plenty strong. I have a 55 lb Hound/Pitt mix and use the hammock in a Silverado Crew Cab. It has been in use for a year and I have had no problems. I believe that you can get fillers to go in the well under the hammock if you desire, but I see no need for them. I am very pleased with the hammock in every way.

Doesn't matter. The product is garbage. We've had two. The original purchase and a replacement and both snapped clean through on a fraying load bearing strand ruining the hammock. Unless you want to take it down every time you use it, even slight exposure to the elements seems to be enough to destroy this within 6-8 months.

I believe the problem is the two ends of the hammock are held together by zip ties, and not that great of zip ties at that, at least that was the problem other reviews were stating. I personally never gave the hammock a chance as I went out and bought a Eno Hammock, which is expensive but well worth as long as you don't spend the extra 20 or 30 dollars to buy the tree straps and use 550 parachute cord instead. I doubt I helped u much sorry Stephen Mattie

Most paracords are thicker and a lot stronger.This is also very stretchy and could not be used to hold and weight..It is use for hoods or sleeves.If you want a cord with stretch that is thin this is it.This cord also comes in thicker sizes.Which can be bought at Quest Outfitters but not this cheap.

It's made of some type of soft twIne, I think. Looks great and is very comfy. I used t have a Brookstone rope hammock, like this much better.Hope this helps.

Yes, came with two nylon ropes, about 7 feet each. They weren't "pre-tied" to the hammock rings.

The 550 cord is rated for 550LB. I'm sure your going to use more than one strand of cord. I would say it would hold 400LB. I used it to pull a car with it was the only thing I had in my truck we had to wrap it around the shackle to the ball hitch 10 times. pulled the car 8 miles home.

It's huge when set up, but I don't know the specs. The hammock itself is too tight to use and the material is less than crummy. Save your money.

I'm also looking for a carabiner to hang a hammock chair - did you find one you liked? Thanks!

Both straps together support 400lbs. I have had 3 people in my hammock with the straps and no problems.

Hey, M R:It's Darren Wright from Paracord 550 MilSpec (TM). Thanks for your question!Paracord is very strong and durable, especially for the small diameter of the cord. However, it's not at all made for mountain climbing. The lines used for mountain climbing are much heavier and sturdier than Paracord. Hope this helps!Darren

I am unsure as to how much weight it would hold. I have an ENO Hammock, it is a parachute style material, similar to your material, they sell what are called ATLAS straps that are rated for up to 400 lbs. I highly recommend them.

I bought this 850 lb paracord because I wanted to be different, but it's difficult to tell the difference between the 450 and 850. I think the company should dye all the inside strands of the 850 Paracord as a mark indicators. A black 450 paracord looks the same as a black 850 paracord???

It looks and feels like real paracord, but I have not unwrapped it to test strength or durability. If you were a contestant on Naked and Afraid this probably isn't the one item you want to take with you, but for having around the house for $5 it is a god deal.

I honestly couldn't tell you. The product did not meet my particular needs so I returned it. It seemed sturdy and well built and both the ropes and straps seemed quite adequate. Hope that helps.

Mine came with the S hooks, but not cords. I used a couple 8-foot lengths of 150-lb parachute cord for straps. They fit in the hammock bag and added maybe a half ounce of weight.
