And, better than all the rest, talk to our resident experts Te-Wa and Drewboy. These guys are legends in the AZ hanging community.
Happy hangin'!

or, just cut a bedsheet about 10x5 and tie a knot in each end. then put a larkshead on each knot with some non-stretchy rope (no nylon)
THAT is as cheap as it gets. dont tell wife where missing bedsheet went, trust me. :P
