Hammock Pawleys Island Tree Straps

Comment: Way overpriced for what you get. Head to Home depot and make your own for a fraction of the cost.

Comment: I recently was given a Pawley's Island Hammock, and rather than stress a tree, and wanting an easier way to hang the hammock instead of driving in bolts, I purchased these straps.

The straps are sturdy and are easy to wrap around the tree, and they hold well.

I have given this a four star rather than a five star rating because I believe a carbiner rather than the S hooks which come with the product, would be a better attachment.

Otherwise, this product works as advertised.

Comment: A good product for hanging a hammock or anything else between two trees. I didn't think the directions were very clear, and it took some trial and error to get the straps adjusted so that the D-ring faced the proper direction, but once installed, the straps held the weight. I also found this item useful for hanging a clothesline between two trees, and I imagine there would be other uses.

Comment: Pro:
This is truly a heavy duty strap. I have no worries about its strength. It could probably pull a car. The metal is solid too.

Cons:
It is long and is a pain in the but to wrap around a tree. depending on the size of the tree.
You cant adjust it or make changes to perfect its length and placement around a tree. You can get it to work but it will take some time and trial and error. On one thick tree i couldn't get it where i wanted. But this is life.

Overall it is a solid hardcore product.
The hammock ain't going no where.

Comment: This is only my second review, but I had to write as this product is great, BUT has a fatal flaw. Replace the S hooks immediately (before hammock use) with carabiners. If two people are in the hammock and one gets up to leave then the S hook can easily pop out of the ring and the hammock falls to the ground. That happened to me when my husband got up and I hit the ground hard. NO fun and easily fixed with closed carabiners. The product is great otherwise, but you really have to figure out how to set it up -- sort of a geometry problem, but doable.
