When I saw the picture for the hammock rope, I didn't think that it would stand up to the job. The hammock I was buying took up to 250 kilos in weight and the rope in the picture didn't look strong enough to match this (to me it looks flimsy). I looked at other ways of securing the hammock on the selected trees in our garden and couldn't think of any other way, so I bought two of them thinking that I would probably have to return them. I was surprised when they arrived, the rope is thick and strong and the clip is huge and chunky. It was simple to fix and use and I have sat on the hammock with my two kids (far exceeding the weight limit) and had no problems at all with either the hammock or the securing ropes. I would have liked better instructions on how far apart the trees would need to be for fixing the hammock up properly, but that has nothing to do with the quality of the rope. I would buy these again if I got another hammock; if you bought the rope and fixtures separately, it would cost you more then buying them this way. All round excellent value. (Amazon might consider an up-grade on the photo as it doesn't do the rope and fixings justice).
