Ultimate Hammock's site puts the max use load at 220lbs, this should be included in the specs.

cali4meThey have a breaking strength of 880 lbs but we recommend a 4:1 safety ratio so these we say 220 in the hammock.

TylerConlin... shouldn't important safety/use information be listed in the specs. As it stands this is potentially misleading and dangerous to consumers.

cali4me @TylerConlin Thanks for bringing this to attention. We included this in the description, but you're correct, this should also be in our specs! The page now reflects the change.

cali4meYeah, you have to follow the math to get that. They already said the straps are 880 or 1600 depending on which one you get , which is a little hard to understand, right? Not many 800+ pounders that I know of that go would venture outside of their king size mattress. Try to imagine taking 20 lbs and lifting that up with some rope. Now stretch your arms out horizontally and just how hard is it now to "lift" that 20 lbs? Yeah, the effort to do so goes up exponentially, and that's exactly what happens in a hammock. Depending on how horizontal your straps end up being, you can easily exert 1000+ lbs on the straps. That's likely where some folks have had stretch issues coming into play. Give the straps some angle - 30 degrees optimal, and I'm sure there is little issue with weight or stretch.
