You know what chaps, this is obscene - are the UK's tree really that far apart? The woods will be alive to the sound of twanging dyneema

hi sorry for being a numpty, i asyet do not have a hammock although that will change soon. as i am over twenty five stone dd have suggested that i need to change the webbing to something stronger, would this product suffice or would i be better with rope? and then use this for a whoopie sling or ridge line?slightly confused if so how much would/should i order?thanks.

 

[Teepee]

1/8 will be good for your suspension, 100 feet will be plenty. Keep your hammock hung at about 30 degrees. You will exert about 200 kgs on each end of your suspension. The 1/8 is about 1000kg or more, so should be good. I like what DD told you, it means the hammocks are plenty strong enough. I'll double check when i get back to the pc. The thinner amsteel is good for ridgrlines at this price, but polyester sheathed dyneema is perfect, worth the extra imo to avoid tangles. I use 3mm marlow for the ridge and 1.5 mm for tie outs.

 

[bigandy]

If my memory is any good, they said they tested them to well over my weight but there recommended weight is just under mine. hence the reason i checked with them!i think the picture they show of one loaded up was in the region of 225kg!
but polyester sheathed dyneema is perfect, worth the extra imo to avoid tangles. I use 3mm marlow for the ridge and 1.5 mm for tie outs.
3mm marlow? is that the stuff in the buy? i really dont understand !! thanks for the quick reply!

This amsteel is a hollow braid, like the cheap paracord only much much stronger and it doesn't stretch at all. The polyester sheathed dyneema is like proper paracord with a strong core and a sheath to protect it.

This amsteel is fine for everything, guy lines, ridgeline, whoopie slings. It'll work a treat. Its treated with urethane to make it water resistant too. It does tangle, but not badly and usually just shakes out (dyneema is very slippy)
Polyester sheathed braid has a tight waterresistant polyester cover, which stops the line snagging on twigs, bark etc. Its much weaker than hollow braid, but still much stronger than paracord for its size and weight. Its perfect for use where you don't need ultimate strength eg ridgline, guys. Its advantage is its much harder to get in a tangle,knots better and doesnt fray when its dragged across tree bark or the floor(the cover get damaged first. Its much harder to splice though, more expensive than this stuff, and no good for whoopie slings.
The easiest way for you to get hanging is use the 1/8 th for your hammock and the 7/64 for everything else. You will have spare line left over, but I always take spare line for various things anyway.
The 1/8 cord is rated to over 1100kg, I just double checked. Hope this helps

[ex member coconino]

Hi what sort of weight can the 7/64 cord take ?

Manufacturer's specification sheet here says 1600 lb, which they round to 730 kg (I round it to 725 kg).

 

[ex member coconino]

Details from the Samson specification sheet:

Inch: 7/64
MM: 2.5
LBS/100 FT: 0.30
KG/100 M: 0.45
Average strength LBS: 1,600
Average strength KG: 730
Minimum strength LBS: 1,400
Minimum strength KG: 650
ISO/BS EN919 Metric tonnes: 0.73


Inch: 1/8
MM: 3.0
LBS/100 FT: 0.50
KG/100 M: 0.74
Average strength LBS: 2,500
Average strength KG: 1,100
Minimum strength LBS: 2,300
Minimum strength KG: 1,000
ISO/BS EN919 Metric tonnes: 1.1

 

[ex member coconino]

Of course that'll be the straight-line strength, one should probably knock off 2/5 for knots or fixings applied to the rope, and then divide by five to get a loading which takes into account that it won't be a static load, which gives 87 kg for the 7/64" and 136 kg for the 1/8" (then multiply by two for hammock slings). This is a layman's understanding and I'd be happy to be corrected.
