CARE
STORAGE
•
Keep your hammock indoors when not in use and store in a cool, dry place.
•
Direct sunlight and rain will deteriorate and reduce the lifespan of your hammock in time and
the colours may run or change. Salt spray from the sea will also damage your hammock, so it
is important to rinse your hammock regularly.
FOLDING
•
Tie a loose knot in the end of strings as seen in the figure below to prevent tangles.
•
Take the edge of the fabric at the middle of the hammock and fold in half, and then half again.
•
Roll-up your hammock starting with the end strings.
WASHING
•
Tie a loose single knot in the end of strings at each end like the figure below.
•
Machine-wash in a regular cycle and spin with cold water and non-bleach detergent,
separated from your laundry.
•
Remove hammock immediately after the spin cycle as dyes in the fabric may bleed if the
hammock is not colour-fast.
•
Do NOT use a dryer. Hang your hammock out to dry.
WHERE TO HANG YOUR HAMMOCK
You will need to find two fixed points from which to hang your hammock.
Try trees, beams or posts on your veranda.
Never hang your hammock
from a free standing brick wall.
Your hammock will hang in any space of
2.5 to 3 meters or greater (2.7m for a single) this should leave the centre
of the hammock about 20-30cm off the ground when you sit in it. (see Fig.
1)
