I am using this over a new area that I am revamping at our pond. This is the year of landscaping and I wanted a place that I could hang a hammock and not worry about birds or tree mess getting on it. It went up well and should be a nice addition to our pond. All in all, I am pleased. Picture is of surprise snow storm. It was only supposed to rain. We went out and cut the chain on the 3rd tree to let it drop.
