 Well Made July 22, 2007

Strong strap, good heavy hardware. If you use it (or anything else) on pine trees, you'll have to clean it up.
Regarding another reviewer's comment: no, you're not stuck with too long or too short a tail. Here's what to do.
Begin by holding the loop on the tree and wind around the tree until you get to the ring end.
Stop at the "too long" setting, pass the ring through the loop, and continue around the tree IN THE OPPOSITE DIRECTION. At some point you'll have the length you need - however it will probably be pointing in a wrong direction. Note where it's pointing!
Now undo it all and begin again, but this time start the loop end at a point on the tree where, after you've wrapped it all, the ring end will point in your desired direction (toward the hammock).
If you think you'll use the same tree again, mark the starting point with a small notch on the tree and hanging the hammock will be a snap.

These straps appear to cause very little if any stress for the trees. I recommend them.
Worked exactly as I needed December 7, 2008

I have the hammock, and I have two trees that are just barely sufficiently far apart for the hammock. After a full season of use (I took them down after we had a few weeks of snow), things are still working well. They help up fine with no serious signs of wear on either the straps, or the walnut trees. (did I mention that I have been lounging under a whole bunch of walnuts?)
The most difficult part is to figure out:
1. How high to place the straps so that the hammock will hang as you desire.
2. Precisely how to initially position the strap around the tree so that it will be the perfect length. The strap works by wrapping around the tree.
You will probably lose 15 minutes figuring out exactly how you need to position the straps (that is how long I took anyway). It then did just fine with a whole lot of abuse, including the neighbor kids that like to really swing on the hammock....
These are great straps!

I live in a townhouse and we definitely do not have two trees far enough apart. We have a 2nd story deck, so we wrapped these straps around the posts that hold up the deck. Even though the posts are square, which I was worried about, these straps are perfect. I was worried that the strap would rub on the corners of the post, but they don't move at all. I had to wrap it around the posts several times because the straps are quite long, but once I was all set it, it was perfect. The instructions are pretty much useless though (a diagram would have been helpful), just look at the picture and read some other reviewers on this site and you should be fine. I would definitely buy these again.
BEST INVENTION FOR HAMMOCKS! April 18, 2009

These things are wonderful. I wish more people would buy them for use with their hammocks. Easy to use, they make it easy to move your hammock around your yard. The brown color makes the straps camoflauged nicely and best of all, you DO NOT hurt the tree!
I'd give this item 6 stars if I could!
