Under normal use, your hammock will last for years. It
is important to follow these basic tips to prolong the
LOCATION: A shady spot is best for hanging your
hammock. The less direct sunlight the hammock is
exposed to, the longer the life of ropes will be.
STORE IT: Keep your hammock in a cool and dryn
location during bad weather, the winter months and
when it will not be used for any extended period
of time. Limiting your hammock's exposure to the
elements will prolong its lifespan.
PROTECT IT: Keep an eye out for pets, rodents and
other animals that might chew or nest in the rope.
Allowing pets, such as dogs, into the hammock may
damage the ropes.
With normal use, most rope-style hammocks will
stretch over time. Inappropriate use, such as using the
hammock like a playground swing or exceeding the
weight limit, will cause the rope to stretch further or
break, invalidating the product warranty.
Cleaning
DO NOT use bleach or fabric softeners.
your bathtub or a kiddie pool with mild detergent and
a soft-bristled scrub brush. Try to keep the wooden
spreader bars and galvanized O-rings out of the water
as much as possible. For heavily soiled rope, soaking
for about an hour may be required. Rinse and air-dry
on a flat surface to prevent the ropes from stretching.
If the rope is cotton, it may shrink a little while drying,
but will stretch back out with use.
Hammocks without spreader bars can be hand washed with mild detergent or machine washed,
on the gentle/delicate cycle, using a mesh laundry
washing bag and mild detergent. Before placing your
hammock in the laundry washing bag, tie the ends of
the hammock together to prevent tangling. Air-dry
only, laying the hammock on a flat surface to prevent
the ropes from stretching.
Wood Finish (when applicable)
Over time, the finish may start to dull and wear off from
normal outdoor weathering. To ensure the maximum
life of your hammock, refinish the wood once you
notice this happening. Leave everything tied together
and work carefully around the rope; do not take the
hammock apart as this will void the product warranty
