FAQs

What type of stainless steel is used in this kit?

The kit uses Grade 316 stainless steel, which is known for its excellent corrosion resistance, especially in harsh environments.

Can I install this on a wooden fence post?

Yes, provided the wooden fence post is solid, thick, and structurally sound enough to support the weight and tension of a hammock.

What if my hammock requires a different spacing than the kit allows?

The kit provides the necessary anchor points. You may need to adjust the attachment method or length of your hammock's suspension to match the installed fixings.

Does the kit come with instructions?

The kit includes all necessary components for installation, and general guidance is provided in this guide. Specific step-by-step instructions may vary based on the mounting surface.

Is this kit suitable for indoor use?

Yes, the kit is suitable for indoor use on solid structures, though it is primarily designed for outdoor durability.

What is the weight limit for this fixing kit?

The weight limit depends heavily on the integrity of the mounting surface and the correct installation of the fixings. Always ensure your mounting structure is sound.

Troubleshooting

Fixings feel loose after installation

Ensure pilot holes were drilled to the correct size and depth for the fixings. If installed in wood, ensure the beam is solid and not rotten. Re-tighten securely.

Difficulty drilling into mounting surface

Use the appropriate drill bit for the material (e.g., masonry bit for brick/concrete, wood bit for timber). Ensure your drill has sufficient power.

Rust spots appearing on the stainless steel

Grade 316 stainless steel is highly resistant but not entirely immune. Light rust spots can often be removed with a stainless steel cleaner or a paste of baking soda and water. Ensure the area is rinsed and dried afterward.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

  1. Identify a suitable solid mounting point (concrete, brick, or solid wood).
  2. Mark the desired locations for the fixing points, ensuring they are level and appropriately spaced for your hammock.
  3. Drill pilot holes appropriate for the included fixings.
  4. Insert the fixings into the holes.
  5. Securely attach the mounting hardware to the fixings.
  6. Attach your hammock to the installed hardware.

Compatibility:

This kit is designed for use with hammocks and suitable for direct installation into concrete, brickwork, and solid wooden beams. It is not intended for use with plasterboard, hollow walls, or lightweight structures.

Care:

To maintain the longevity and appearance of the stainless steel fixings, clean them periodically with a damp cloth. Avoid using abrasive cleaners that could scratch the surface. While highly weather-resistant, occasional inspection for any signs of wear or damage is recommended.
