FAQ
Hat is my hammock's weight capacity?
That depends on the hammock. Weight capacities are listed for all our individual hammocks in their descriptions. At the minimum, our hammocks can support one very large adult (often many more).
Can all hammocks hold more than one person?
The amount of people a hammock can hold depends mainly on the maximum weight capacity of the hammock. It is the responsibility of a user to ensure that they abide by the maximum capacity so their safety is not put at risk. The weight capacity of your hammock should be included on an instruction sheet that came with your hammock or on the packaging of your hammock.
Will hooks damage my trees?
Not likely, however, we recommend not taking the risk if you care about your trees. Instead of leaving holes in your trees, consider using hammock hanging accessories.
How do I hang Hanging Hammock Chairs?
Hang from a solid beam. Ensure the structure should be solid and able to hold a large weight capacity.
How can I clean my hammock?
For hammocks with spreader bars you will want to clean it with a mild detergent and water in a bath tub and then air dry.
For quilted and fabric hammocks use a scrub brush with mild detergent and water, scrub, hose it off completely and allow to air dry.
Hammocks without spreader bars can be machine washed on a gentle cycle but first should be placed in a lingerie bag or pillow case with the ends of the hammock tied together. (If you use a pillow case, you should also tie the ends of the pillow case together before placing it in the washing machine.)
What are safety precautions that I should take into account when using my hammock?
Do not exceed your hammocks maximum weight capacity.
Do not allow children to use your hammock without adult supervision.
Do not allow children to play in your hammock (this includes jumping, spinning, walking, etc.). Allowing them to play in the hammock could be extremely dangerous.
Make sure that hammock chains do not become twisted and be careful not to flip your hammock over while it is hung; doing either of these can weaken the chain strength.
Be sure to inspect your hammock before getting into it. Rodents, birds and bugs tend to use hammock rope fibers to build nests; if the rope is compromised it may be dangerous.
