FAQs
What is the weight limit for this hammock?
While a specific weight limit is not provided, the heavyweight cotton and strong hanging loops are designed for robust use. Always ensure your chosen hanging points are secure and can adequately support the user's weight.
Does this hammock come with a stand?
No, the hammock is sold separately from any stand. A compatible hammock stand or secure hanging points like trees or posts are required for use.
How do I clean the hammock?
It is best to hand wash the cotton fabric with mild soap and cool water. Rinse well and allow it to air dry completely. Avoid machine washing.

The hammock bed measures 200cm in length and 80cm in width.

Troubleshooting
Hammock seems too low/high when set up.
Adjust the height of the anchor points or the length of the ropes/straps connecting the hammock to the anchor points. Aim for the lowest point to be 18-30 inches off the ground when empty.
Fabric feels stiff after cleaning.
Ensure the hammock is completely dry before use. If stiffness persists, a gentle tumble dry on a no-heat setting might help, but air drying is preferred.
Spreader bars are difficult to align.
Ensure the hammock fabric is evenly spread and taut before attempting to position the spreader bars. Check for any twists in the fabric near the bar attachment points.
Mildew spots appearing on fabric.
This indicates the hammock was stored while damp. Clean affected areas with a mild soap and water solution, rinse thoroughly, and ensure it dries completely before storing again. Store in a dry, ventilated area.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup:
Identify two secure anchor points: This could be sturdy trees, dedicated posts, or a compatible hammock stand (sold separately).
Ensure anchor points are at an appropriate distance apart (consider the hammock's total length and desired sag).
Attach the hammock's hanging loops securely to the anchor points using strong rope, carabiners, or integrated hanging hardware.
Adjust the height so the lowest point of the hammock is roughly 18-30 inches (45-75 cm) off the ground when empty, allowing for a comfortable resting height.
Compatibility:
Hammock Stands: Compatible with most standard hammock stands designed for spreader bar hammocks. Ensure the stand's length and weight capacity are suitable.
Hanging Structures: Requires anchor points that are robust and can safely support the weight of the user and the hammock. Always test the security of your chosen points before use.
Care:
Cleaning: Hand wash the cotton fabric with mild soap and cool water. Rinse thoroughly and allow to air dry completely. Avoid machine washing or harsh detergents.
Storage: When not in use, especially during inclement weather or the off-season, store the hammock indoors in a dry place to protect the cotton and spreader bars from moisture and mildew.
Sun Exposure: While designed for outdoor use, prolonged, intense UV exposure can fade colours over time. Consider bringing it indoors or covering it when not in use for extended periods.
