How thick are the ropes used to weave this hammock?

The individual ropes are thin, maybe 1/8 inch, but overall strong. Me, my wife and our two boys sat together in it often.

The part that you attach to is about 1/2 inch to 3/4. The individual stands are very small but so abundant it's very secure

If you get the 100% cotton, they are not thick. In fact, if a single rope catches on a button on your pants and you don't know it, you can easily break it. The hammock is plenty strong since there are so many ropes weaved together, it's just an issue of breaking individual ones.

not sure of the gauge - but I am 250, my wile is 140 and we often have a 3rd - holds the weight just fine!

Yes very nice swing with thick rope, installed on our deck with lots of use. I am over 200 pounds and it holds me nicely.

It's about 1.5 mm thick but very strong. I was able to put about 300 lbs on it and not break it.

Hello The ideal distance to hang the hammock is 1.8 meters from the groundAbout the distance between the posts, trees, walls must be minimum 12 feetYou can use any nylon Rope or Straps to extend the hammock in larger distancesIf you need more assistance Please contact us againThe Hammocks Rada Team

The product description states each of the polypropylene lashing cables are 10 feet long. Actually, mine measured out at 9' 10" each. About ten feet SOUNDS like plenty, but when you realize that to hang the hammock you will need to double the rope in half and then knot it several times along it's length, you aren't going to have any too much, for sure. 14'-16' per rope would have been much more versatile and user-friendly.

¼ to ⅜ inch should work fine...but it might be difficult getting the proper tension with rope over cable...

I would not chance using this rope if you are asking about 140-200 lbs. personal safety. Mine broke when brand new. I am not sure how much weight I was trying to support. (removing tree limbs)

It is about 15" long. You will need to buy a small piece of chain and a ring-hoop to attach the chain to the hammock (I bought mine at home depot for a few bucks). It will also allow you to adjust the tightness to fit your needs!

I believe they are 42" but I don't have them here to measure. They wrap around a moderate small size tree twice. I do find that for larger trees they come up short. I carry a little extra 5-50 cord for extensions. Snake skins do not automatically come with the hammock but it was worth the extra money. For the Safari hammock I bought two sets of skins. One for the hammock and one for the rain fly. Because this hammock is bigger than the others this makes setup and take down easier. Overall I absolutely love this hammock. It is bigger and heavier than you need for one person. It is big enough for me and my wife,but still cozy for an all nighter. I can think of no better way to relax on a summer afternoon. Hope this helps.

Laura. This string is very strong, but it is nowhere near 1/8 inch thick. More like 1/32" thick! To get that type of thickness, you are going to have to go to shock cord, or parachute cord. I deal with cording and string all of the time, and I have yet to find any cotton, hemp, or nylon string in that thickness! Here is a link to 1/8 inch string, or cord, here on Amazon.

It isn't the thickness you are looking for. But it is very durable. I use it for tying bedding packets, which consists of two blankets, a pillow, sheet, towel, wash rag and pillow case. It's good sturdy string.

I'm fairly certain it's over 1000 lbs. I just checked their web site and the manual and can't find a weight rating. But if you look up most thick braided ropes like this, the weight rating is way above 300 lbs. The HSS harnesses have weight ratings from 250-300 and they state that all over the place. The harnesses also have many points of failure, such as sewed seams and plastic buckles. A rope is a different story. The fact this doesn't have it stated all over tells me it's not really an issue. A tiny piece of paracord has a 550 lb weight rating, and that's about 1/10th the thickness of this rope. I'm fairly certain it's over 1000 lbs.

It is a thin rope. Mine has been outside for 18 months and is holding up fine.

Not this particular rope, you'll need something thicker made from manilla. If it's for lifting stuff find som3thing at a higher gauge if you need it to.lift people or animals ect find a nice synthetic.
