What is the weight capacity for the strap/hook? We are hanging a hammock swing for an adult.

My friend's husband hung on it when he was putting up the tire swing and I would say he is about 230-250lbs..the comments on the hanging kit says up to 500lbs.

The information on the kit that I received states 500 pounds which is fine for me as I'm the only adult using it and 500 pounds is about 4x my weight.

The Amsteel 7/64 rope has a average break strength of 1600 pounds with a minimum of 1400. The types of constrictors used in this setup would on average reduce that by approximately 20 percent. That would be over 1000 pounds still, but I would reduce that by 50 percent as a "just in case" for a hammock. So I would trust it about 500 pounds.

I would worry about what the swing is hanging on (how strong is that branch?) The nylon rope is not thin and flimsy. The plastic seat is very strong, but it's hard plastic and I weighed 160 when I tried it out. Besides not being very comfortable on an flabby old butt with more hanging off than on, it wasn't a pretty sight.

If properly secured ( e.g. using chain around a strong tree ), I would have no concerns with a 400 lb load on the hammock. I have used mine frequently with 2 adults. You will need to adjust tension based on the weight you will apply to avoid excessive sag.

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

My Hammock stand measures 13.5' from welded hook to hook. The chain hooks are 11.5' apart for it to hang above ground a bit when occupied. From there you should be able to figure out your needs. 11.5' stretch is minimum to keep loaded hammock from dragging the ground.

I used fairly large carabiners without a problem. The ones I used are much larger than necessary to support the weight of someone swinging.

Holds adults (not recommended) up to 160lbs. I haven't seen any one else try.

Haven't weighed it myself, but i gotta estimate it at under a pound. You can smoosh it down to the size of a softball. It includes 2 attached lengths of thick rope to tie to a tree, but if you're interested in the tree friendly straps, it shouldn't be super hard to jerry rig them on. i'm gonna get a few more of these, as they seem like a much cheaper version of the IMPS (improved multi-purpose survival) net. : )

I actually think it could hold 450lbs. Looks good after 2 years...and we have been through many hammocks.

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 not sure but my boyfriend and I both sat in it with no problem - together we weigh about 325lbs - plus the swing itself is about 45lbs, I believe. I have to add, though, that we have it hung in a metal rack that previously held another swing we purchased years ago at Home Depot. The swing in that one had broken but the frame is still good so we simply hung this one in that. the weight it holds may depend on how you have it hung, too.

Yes it will. I forget what the exact weight capacity is but it is a "double hammock" which means 2 adults.

At least 200 lbs. but I would imagine it also has to do with how much weight the hooks the chain is hanging from can hold too.

VERY durable hammock. I weigh 235 & also had my 110lb son in with me for a test. I believe the load limit is understated. I feel very comfortable swinging & sleeping in it. Good Luck!

I wouldn't use these straps anywhere! one of my straps broke right in the middle after only a few uses & it's not like the hammock was overloaded...I weigh about 140. it just snapped, landing me flat on my back on a brick patio. would definitely not recommend.
