Troubleshooting
Hammock is difficult to pack into its sack.
Ensure all air is pushed out of the fabric before folding. Fold it neatly and systematically rather than just stuffing it.
Uneven tension or sag in the hammock.
Adjust the tension of your suspension ropes. Ensure both sides are secured at similar heights and tensions.
Fabric feels sticky or loses its smoothness.
Ensure the hammock is fully dried before storage. Avoid storing in humid conditions. If necessary, gently clean with mild soap and water and re-dry.
Straps or ropes are not holding securely.
Check the condition of your separate suspension system. Ensure knots are tied correctly and anchor points are stable and appropriate.
