    How supple is the poly webbing?

    I am considering using this for making toggle suspensions for some hammocks I might make for my son's birthday shindig. Is it supple enough to use if I plan on using toggle supension? And, how about tying loops in the ends instead of sewing them? Thanks!

    This is the webbing in question: http://ripstopbytheroll.com/products...1500-lbs-black

    Not sure what you mean by toggle suspension??

    He sells it for making tree straps. If you're questioning whether or not you can tie the marlinespike hitch used in a whoopie sling suspension in this material, yes it will work fine.

    Tying loops in it should work fine as well.

    I believe that toggle and marlin spike are the same thing. Thanks for the information--I'm debating using the toggle/marlin spike and planning on a slight learning curve for the boys or just ponying up five bucks a pair for cinch buckles. That'd increase costs by 25 bucks, though...

    I taught my kids the MSH in about five minutes. With just a little patience, you'll save yourself 25 bucks.... and get the seed planned for more knot learning!
