John,

How much do you trust the current cord/rope that is supplied with the hammock and how they are tied?

:rolleyes:

Just checking before I make a fool of myself and break something!!! :D

I trust the cord absolutely but the knots I would always check. I took the hooks off mine and tied rings on with the cost , using a fisherman's knot to join the ends and covered this in electrical tape to make sure it did not slowly slip undone.

Stuart, I should have told you that you need to order a hammock for at least each of your children and passably your wife. Once they have tried it they will not settle till they get their own.

Thanks for that John.

Did you also use a knot to attach the "tree-line" to your ring (if so, what knot did you use?), or stitch it on? :rolleyes:
