how much does this hammock sag with a 250+lb. man + sleeping gear?

Here's a cool way to to help with the sag. If you must buy tree straps then why make them single purposed? I bought 1" nylon webbing (1/2the price of slings) 2x 10 ft and used the hammocks included 550 for cordage. The webbing is super strong has a larger mass and less abrasive to the hammock. Thread in place of the 550 and when tearing down camp the webbing can be used for lashing and other as needed. Webbing I got is rated at 1k and is (with propper training) a very good self made rescue rappell harness or lanyard for gear in floating water crossings. Not bad multi use. Add two climbing rated carabiners and you have a system to hang hammock and many other uses. Here's a cool way to to help with the sag. If you must buy tree straps then why make them single purposed?

I had the netting rip out on mine too. Get one without the netting, then get a separate bug nut, that's what I did on my second hammock. That way if the bugs aren't bad, you don't have the net. I got an Eno double nest and Eno bug net. Hope this helps.

I've had mine for a year and haven't had a problem. Gone camping multiple times in it.

It sags alot with me at 198 lbs.in it. Even if you take all the slack out of the lines. If you set it up too tight , the netting and zipper will rip out. It wraps around me leaving not much room for gear. I wouldn't push it. The netting has to have a lot of slack or it will rip right out with weight. If I were you I'd look for something more rigged and durable. Hope this helps.

Definitely...I am about 135 lbs and my girlfriend is around 110 lbs. We both fit comfortably on the hammock together (combined weight 245lbs) and there was no sign of any stress or torquing to neither the frame or the hammock itself. I would be weary of the 350-400 lb range but feel confident that anything shy of that would not be an issue.

I haven't tested it the max but in my opinion I'm about 140 and it starts to feel pretty tight, and even just going on comfort I wouldn't want to be much more than 150-160 without any padding or a sleeping bag etc under me.

1 adult and 1child possibly.. 2 adults would be very cramped.. I believe the maximum load rating is around 250 lbs for this particular hammock.

I think if you read the specifications for the hammock you'll find the factory weight specs. But a personal note, I'm a 210lb. dude. It holds me up well. Just have to tie the para-cord to the tree a little higher. :)

I am very happy with this hammock, my husband weights 240 and used this hammock all summer last year and still looking great. Hope it helps.

Not sure about the exact figure for maximum weight, but during a wedding brunch we had this summer, three of the grooms men -averaging 170 each - hopped on the hammock for a picture.....and it held up beautifully!

I've loaded aprox 320# personally...Hammock bliss states they've tested it to 350#

This hammock would be just about right for your dimensions. I'm similar to those numbers and I've never had a bad nights sleep in this hammock. I would say 5'11" and above would start having the problems.

I weigh 280 pounds and have no problems. It creaks a but but doesn't sag etc.

I weigh 185 and it didn't work for me, I would recommend spending the extra money and getting a Hennessy Hammock, It works great. The Texsport tore apart the first time I used it. The Hennessy got me down the Illinois river on a kayak trip for four days.

From the manufacturer website: a single size hammock can support up to 326 pounds

Hi I would say it fits a small. The frame could probably support 250 pounds at most. It's a good fit if you want to take it camping or for light backyard use. If you have a larger hammock, it might work if you pulled it up tight, but I'd opt for a bigger frame. Hope this helps.

I have no idea. I assume it is as any hammock. My friend is over 250lbs, if that helps.

No problem with a sleeping bag and a 200-pound person. I've used it a number of times with no problem whatsoever.

I believe the description stated 450 lbs. I didn't need it to hold more than 200 pounds since I have a one person hammock. I have been using these straps all summer and they are working very well. Look at the item description again and see if it refers to the weight limit.

I had two adults sleep on this recently. They averaged 350lbs. there were no issues.
