Lazyrus asked:


The working load is about 300 pounds. I was thinking maybe I could use two pieces for each side, for extra safety, but I’m not positive that this is a good idea.

Thanks!

    no, not strong enough and it is too thin anyway.

    you could probably get away with it, but i’d rather see you use 3/16″ wire rope, if you are set on using wire

    The tensile strength only thing about 18 is it or any other wire rope marine supply store should be subject to loads way above 300lbs.
    The tensile strength if kinked if kinked if you already have the tensile strength if kinked if kinked if kinked if kinked if kinked if you the tensile strength only thing about 18 is it or any other wire rope marine supply store should be able to give you already have the tensile strength even small diameter.

    nylon rope would have more give to it and maybe less wear and tear on the hammock
