I just priced 30ft of 1/8 amsteel ast redden marine. The total was 7.30 plus $8.89 shipping!! Is thee another place I can order it from that won't charge an outrageous shipping fee? Also is 1/8 thick enough for suspension?

What he said. I ordered 50' of 1/8 from Paul over the weekend, it got here today. 18 & change shipped, not to mention lots of help thru PM's. A great guy & he's one of us. Thanks Paul!Originally Posted by oldgringo

1/8 is sufficient.
Just call in your order to Redden instead of placing it online. They will give you actual shipping costs that way. This has been the case for quite a large number of people.

I recently paid $15 plus $3.45 for USPS Priority mail shipping for 100 ft of 7/64 with an online order.

My order for 100' 7/64 was $15 plus 5.65 shipping. Order was called in.
Must be that Kentucky sur charge.

You can pm Craig at Redden. His alias on here is Amsteel House. He will respond with the details of how to get 10% off for Hammock Forum members.
I bought 200' at $0.24 per foot. The $4.80 discount wiped out the $4.95 shipping charge. I placed the order on-line because it was 10:00 at night.
The other option mentioned above is Paul at Arrowhead Equipment. If you like good, fast service, you'll be pleased with either of these.
He is your friend, your companion, your defender... he is your dog. You are his life, his leader, and master. He will be yours, faithful and true, to the last beat of his heart. You owe it to him to be worthy of that devotion.
Thanks for the info. I'll give them a call tomorrow.
