A Few Of The Reasons Why The Original Pawleys Island Rope Hammock
Is Not Just Another Hammock!
Quality.All hammocks come in either
solid cotton rope, famous for its softness and flexibility, or solid polyester rope, which is soft-spun for
comfort but considered more durable as well as more resistant to mildew and rot. Because these hammocks are made entirely by
hand, the sizes indicated are approximate. This is especially true in the cotton hammocks due to the
stretch factor in natural cotton rope. Pawleys Island Hammock Company has earned the highly regarded
"Cotton Seal" from Cotton, Inc., thanks to their quality standards in using the highest grade of American
upland cotton. All of Pawleys Island Hammock Company's products are "Made in the U.S.A." using
only materials produced in the United States.
Comfort.From the unique
design of their handmade hammocks to the specially made cotton and polyester rope, materials are
selected with comfort and quality in mind.
Durability.Due to its
excellent design and the quality of tightly wound rope (more than 1/4 mile of the highest grade rope goes
into every hammock), the Original Pawleys Island Rope Hammock provides years of pleasure to its
owner with reasonable care and use. Our curved spreaders are fashioned from selected seasoned
Carolina oak to provide the best in outdoor protection.
Selection.Both the cotton and polyester hammocks are available in single, large and deluxe sizes, and come with
all the hardware necessary for installation. Hammock stands are available in two custom colors.
Frequently asked questions>
How far apart can my trees be to hang my hammock?
The optimum distance between trees for hanging a deluxe hammock is 15 feet. For a single hammock, 12 feet of distance is needed. If the trees are less than the recommended distance, it will be necessary to raise the location of the tree hooks. How far in the ground must a pole be to support my
hammock?
If you are not using a hammock stand or trees for supporting your hammock, supports can be buried into the ground from which the hammock can be hung. These supports can be metal or wooden poles. The poles must be buried in the ground to a depth of 1.5 to 2 feet . Additionally, the support poles must be cemented following the package instructions for the cement mixture. How high do I need to hang my hammock?
The recommended distance from the ground for placement of the tree hook is between 4 and 5 feet. If your supports are closer than the above recommended distance, the tree hooks should be raised. How do I clean my hammock?
Rope - mild solution of soap and water in a bath tub, then air dry. Try to keep the spreader bars out of the water as much as possible.
Quilted- mild solution of soap and water and use a scrub brush. Hose off completely, then air dry. Also, bleach or spot remover can be used for problem areas. If my hammock appears too short for the stand, how
do I make it work?
Verify that the size of the hammock and the stand are compatible, i.e., a deluxe or large hammock requires a large stand (15’ Length) and a single hammock requires a small stand (11’ Length). If your hammock and stand are compatible, the appearance of the hammock being “too short” for the stand is due to the fact that the hammock, when first out of the packaging, is in an “unstretched state.” With the first use, the hammock will stretch from 1 to 2 feet . You may need to use a small extension of chain during the initial hanging. Once the hammock is hung and you have been able to sit in the hammock, stretching will occur and the hammock then should fit the stand properly.
How do I disassemble the stand?
To loosen the poles, try twisting the poles or gently tapping on the joints with a rubber mallet.
