Stansport Hammock Tree Straps

Our trees are WAY too far apart to set up a hammock. I originally purchased these thinking I could adapt an old hammock stand to make it into a current one - but the stand was too short. However, we have a long, straight branch coming off of a black walnut tree. I was able to loop these around the branch (doubled), and use the hangers to place both ends of the hammock. I love being able to use the S Hooks to easily remove and store the hammock (plus hang it easily). These were easy to use, and I was able to find a way for them to meet my needs. I wouldn't hesitate to use these for hanging a Hammock Chair from a tree branch - the S hooks are very adequate. A nice set of straps. Should they fail, I will send an update from my iPhone from the emergency room, but if you don't hear, you will know they are still holding well. (For those wondering - we are using these with Cape Cod Canvas Hammock 13000 by C. Alan . The short ends make it a perfect complement to hanging from a tree branch instead of from actual tree trunks. Edited - my granddaughter and I shared the hammock today, with acombined weight of 270 pounds with no issues! Straps held securely.

Best price I could find on tree straps on Amazon were these, and they work. For anyone who is looking to hang a hammock between trees, tree straps are the way to go. It makes it easy to adjust the height or move the hammock to a different set of trees whenever you like. Doesn't damage the tree either. They are long, and should reach around even very thick trees. The included S-hooks were thicker and heavier than those that came with my hammock. So far, we haven't had a problem with the straps sliding around anywhere or ripping, but they did stretch a little bit initially as I expected them to do. Nothing major, just slide them up a little bit and all is well.

These straps work and aren't too heavy, but they do sag. When setting up your hammock, you might want to set it up higher than normal. Just play with it, and see what works for you. You might need to be a little creative to make them work, but they're wide and I'm happy with them. There not super difficult or annoying as maybe I'm making them sound, because I really am happy with this product, just know that if you set up the hammock at a normal-ish height you might find yourself on the ground, or close to it, in the morning. The good thing is they bounce back. I set up my hammock higher with these straps to prevent myself from sleeping on the ground, and after a little big the straps are at a normal height and it's much easier to get in and out of, but I left it there for a while and it was back to the height I set it up as. I see this as a good thing. Bottom line: they work, and are inexpensive, but at the same time they aren't too much more than some other straps like ENO that might be a little better/ less heavy/ less stretchy. ENO is expensive though so do your homework.

This is a revised review. I first reviewed them after only a short period of use. Now a year later the story has changed. I bought these straps to place permanently around a couple of Oak Trees in my back yard from which I wished to string a hammock. By using the straps I thought I could leave the straps in place and using the provided S hooks I could quickly hang the hammock and be ready to swing. That worked pretty well for about 9 months. A couple weeks ago I attempted to use my hammock and about the time I got comfortable one of the straps BROKE about 2" above the ring. I was dumped very hard on the ground. I was sore for a couple days but thank goodness I had no serious injury. If you are only going to use these for a weekend and then put them up until next time you might be OK with these. If your intention, like me, is to place them on the tree and leave them there you had definitely better keep looking. I WOULD NOT buy this again.

I bought these to go with my start hammocking setup for backpacking. I am new to backpacking and hammocking, but I have fallen in love! When I got these, I immediately to a hacksaw to the rings and removed them from the straps. I also dropped the S hooks in favor of Amsteel whoopie slings. I have been very pleased with my hammock setup after using it in my backyard and on the AT, and these straps are a significant part of it. I weigh 190 and feel very secure with them. They hug the trees well without damaging them. They do seem to stretch a little, but not much. Once settled into my hammock, I didn't notice any significant drop overnight, definitely did NOT end up on the ground. Good solid product.

These straps don't deserve a bad rap -- they are just not very helpful for my needs because I hang my hammock a lot of different places, and prefer straps that have multiple "loops" for hanging options, such as the AVALEISURE Lightweight Hammock Tree Straps, which is what I eventually bought to replace these. These straps, however, are incredibly strong and durable - and if you are looking for long straps that are wide enough to ensure no damage to the tree, these might be right for you. But in my case, if I needed to shorten the length, I had to wrap these around the tree several times to get just the desired length. My friend with loop-style straps had their hammocks set up in a couple minutes, while I was still fiddling with trying to get the right number of wraps around the tree trunk, or trying to find trees that were far enough apart to use these long straps.

I thought this was a stout price to pay for straps. I contemplated buying just towing straps to hang up my hammock, but I'm glad I didn't. These straps make it incredibly easy to hang up your hammock just the way you want to. They're sturdy. I've had probably around 450 lbs hold between the two straps. They do a great job and are relatively small to carry. (They fit inside my hammock pouch just fine) If you want to cover distances when you put up your hammock, like over creeks or something, these would definitely make that possible.

These straps work great and are very durable outdoors. Ended up having this as an extra set which I left outside at a personal favorite hammock spot for about 16 months. I live in New England so we got snow during that period of time in which i left them on the trees. When I finally took them down and wiped the build up off of them you couldn't notice the difference between these and the ones that originally came with my hammock besides little traces of dirt on them. I still have them and they work great. this will be going on about 5 years of owning them.

Straps are good quality and were just as advertised.

Muy buen tamaño medidas correcta, las compré para unos columpios y tuve que darles varias vueltas porque son bastante largas. Excelente compré primero una para ver la calidad y definitivamente después de probarla por una semana compré la otra

Great length, very convenient with the included s hooks. Webbing is of lower grade than expected, but at this price it's hard to beat.

Fácil de instalar muy resistentes

As described, needed for the Hammock when attached to a tree.
