There are lots of suspension options for hanging your hammock and tarps these days. One of the problems is while you can go to the manufactures/vendors site and look at the pictures, you have no way to judge the size of product X compared to product Y.
Since I have collected most of these variations ( but not all ), I thought why not offer photos of the these products side by side with other similar products. Figured this could be helpful to new hangers
I used a US Quarter for a size reference and took the pictures on a fabric cutting mat with measurements to help one see the size of the item.
I am not recommending one set of hardware over another but I will offer my opinion if asked.
Links to manufacture / vendors sites for specs and pricing. This is not a complete list of vendors as some of the products are sold by several vendors but this a list of vendors I have purchased from and will do so again.
