It is amazing how much rope it takes to build the Hammock Hangout. The scale makes even the little things add up. For example, hanging the hammocks. Each end of a hammock takes a rope through the end and that then goes around a pole. It takes about 15 feet of rope for each end of a hammock or 30 feet of rope per hammock. There are 90 hammocks, so 30′ x 90 = 2700′ of rope. In other words it takes half a mile of rope just to attach the hammocks to the poles!

There is also:

• 1200′ of rope and/or steel cable holding up the center pole
• 4200′ of rope holding up the grid of 36 12′ logs
• 10,000′ of parachute line holding the edge of the parachutes
