This is a group buy for lightweight 20mm (18g/m) and/or 25mm (24g/m) olive green polyester webbing for hammock (or other) use:
Product details:
Available from this Finnish supplier: http://www.shelby.fi/catalog/product_info.php?cPath=141_32&products_id=1127
This is the lightest polyester webbing I've come across; most polyester webbing is tubular and therefore weighs twice as much. Note that polyester doesn't absorb water (and stretch) like nylon and is more durable than polypropylene. A useful comparison of PE vs. PP is here: http://www.haywoodproducts.com/webbingstrapping.
Static hammock tape tensions in kN are given by the formula (W * 9.8 / 1000) / (2 sin α
where W is your weight in kg and α is the angle of the tape drop from horizontal. For a 100kg load, the static tape tensions are approximately:
When tapes are 10° from horizontal = 2.9kN
When tapes are 20° from horizontal = 1.5kN
When tapes are 30° from horizontal = 1.0kN
The 25mm tape has a breaking strain of 5.2kN. The 20mm tape should have a breaking strain of about 80% of this (4kN). Either tape should have a good margin of safety in normal hammock hanging scenarios and use (i.e. you don't bounce on the hammock or string it close to the horizontal).
Group buy details:
This group buy is at cost. 0.85/meter (20mm) and 0.95/meter (25mm). The supplier gives a 25% discount on a complete 50m roll. Shipping costs from Finland are a fixed 16.90 (http://www.shelby.fi/catalog/shipping.php) and are obviously smaller on a per metre basis the more that is ordered.
I want 10m of the 20mm tape so, ideally, I'm looking for takers for the remaining 40m of a 50m roll. Obviously I can order more than 50m and per metre shipping costs will be even lower. I can also order 25mm webbing, but would prefer that the purchase of a whole 50m roll of 20mm is covered.
Black is also a possibility, but only if there are enough olive green takers.
Orders in 1m multiples please.
Jiffy bags at cost.
UK delivery will be Royal Mail 1st Class:
0-100g £1.28
101-250g £1.62
251-500g £2.14
501-750g £2.65
751-1000g £3.25
Disclaimer: I am prepared to buy and distribute this webbing as advertised on the supplier's website. Whilst I have no reason to doubt its quality or claimed specification, in buying it, you use it at your own risk.
Please state "I agree to the disclaimer" in your order post. Sorry for being paranoid...
Thanks for looking,
Joel
