Will these straps maintain their position on the tree if you bring the hammock inside between uses?

That works for us because we wrapped the straps around each tree 2 or more times, crossing the strap each time.

Yes, mine have not moved all year, as long as you install them properly they should stay put.

Don't know if you remember your science classes in school, but each year a tree will add another "ring" causing the tree diameter to grow, depending on the type of tree. I have a tree in the yard that a prior owner had attached a length of chain to. I can't remove the chain from the tree because what ever held it to the tree is embedded in the tree and you can't see what holds the chain to the tree. It actually looks like it is growing out of the tree. So I would not advise leaving anything wrapped around a tree for a year or more. It surely shouldn't be that hard to unwind the straps and store them in a container of some sort so they could be easily reattached to the tree the next season.

Yes, ours has been on the tree for two years and they are good. Will have to loose this year because they tighten as the tree grows, so you will have to loosen periodically

We take our hammock inside if it is raining a lot and so far we have not had any problems with the straps slipping on the tree. We knot ours. Best hammock we ever had. This is our 2nd one. Highly recommend them.

They will however if your hooks are broken like mine are you will have trouble with them staying I'm place. They are very light weight.

Yes, my hammock is between 2 trees 11 ft. apart. My husband uses slings which are used to lift heavy equipment with shackles.

I think so. The ends where the hammock would hook into are quite high off the ground.

Yes, but I would be a bit concerned about having a good "seal" at ground level. Maybe you could gather and tie it under the hammock after you were in the hammock.

I would think it is due to the weight if the bag. Shifting could cause the tree to tilt or perhaps break. I have the treegator it's very convenient .

yes....... have ran these for several years in all types weather...just make sure latches are closed, I put them out in June and they stay on the same tree until January...... for the money, hard to beat.

Yes. There are straps that security around the chair to keep it from moving.

No. I mean it is a typical hammock it will "sag" a little, however, the hammock is adjustable. But I also bring mine in during heavy wind or rain, so that it doesn't stretch and ruin it. I love it!! I hope this helps with your decision.

I hang my hammock between trees and adjust the length by using a heavy duty rope - it works fine.

these have been quite sturdy for me. i find a tree with very course bark and loop it around, setting the end closer to the hammock lower then the one facing away. It always holds for me. Using these incorrectly, say with a wooden beam with sharp corners, may cause damage, but this is only an assumption, and not one i wish to test.

Yes, that can certainly be. In that case it will also support the hammock to sustain more weight.

I also have a tree swing, but it uses a different strap system. These tree straps depend on weight to grip and tighten around the tree trunk. A swing uses a horizontal branch which is usually smaller in diameter. I'll say yes as long as you attach the swing to both ends of the strap.

no, you just thread them thru the loop and tighten. You could leave them attached, but it's so easy to take them on and off, that your better off just removing them. It will keep things from rattling around up there as well as protect them from so much sun and wind. These straps are the coolest I have ever used. you'll really like them.

straps are not that strong only made for moving around,you would have to build a stand out of wood to sit it on,after you have poked a bunch of holes in it you would not want to leave outside if you live in colder climates,it would fill with water and freeze and probably break apart

Yes. You are supposed to hang a hammock such that the ropes make a 30 degree angle to the ground. This reduces the load on the ropes/straps. Lesser angles can put more weight on the ropes/straps than the total weight of the occupants in the hammock. I recommend a book called "The Ultimate Hang" for about $3 on kindle. I've seen people break 500lb straps using them incorrectly...

I would tape the beam where the straps would be. They're heavy duty straps but anything you can do to help prevent fraying from friction with the wood is a good thing. So yes.
