Heavy duty hammock

[nephilim]

Does anyone know where I can get a hammock rated for 200 kgs weight?

I want to go on a night out, and I've done some with a shelter on a raised bed of logs etc, however I'd like to experience a hammock.

Since shattering my knee 10 years ago, I've ballooned in weight and I'm at the 160kg mark, however I want a 200kg rated hammock on the safe side.

I know they aren't big to begin with, but don't ask, don't get.

CAMTOA Nylon Fabric Hammock Waterproof, Portable, Light, Durable, Easy to Take with Parachute for Travelling Camping Hiking Outdoor Jungle Garden Sleeping Blue & Silver https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B013QW06ZM/ref=cm_sw_r_other_awd_tu3wwb1HY4QCQ

Very similar if not identical to the one I normally recommend but rated to 300kg

If it is the same as mine (certainly looks it) they're a really capable bit of kit for the money. Mines served me for about 3 years of fairly regular use

Good to know. Physio has given me the green light for extended walking and light jogging, so weightloss is on the cards, but want a hammock to get that will hold my weight suitably.

May also look at filming my antics

Very interesting info this. Good thread. I'm a big lad too and have been worried about capacity of some of the hammocks and it has put me off giving it a try. That CAMTOA hammock seems like a good buy. Shame they didn't do it in a green colour. However, I also found this hammock which looks interesting and is similarly priced. No affiliation to the brand or anything, just looks like another option.

You can always dye them if colour bothers you, it never has for me but I understand why it would
