Description

Appearances can fool you. Have you been looking for a hammock that "looks like" cotton rope and, even more importantly, feels like cotton rope? Our oatmeal colored DURACORD® is just that, plus something altogether more — more durable, that is!

DURACORD® Rope

Our own proprietary solution-dyed synthetic blend of rope, DURACORD®, blends the softness of cotton with the durability of polyester. Made in the Carolinas, this combination yields a rope that has excellent color steadfastness and superior feel. DURACORD® is dyed when spun, producing a rope that is colored all the way through. Like a carrot when sliced open, DURACORD® has the same color on both the inside and the outside. Our DURACORD® rope is the densest rope on the hammock market at 85 ft./lb., this results in less stretching and increased support when relaxing in your hammock.

Cumaru Spreader Bar

We use Cumaru, similar to Teak is 5 times harder and denser than pine, cedar, and redwood. Cumaru hardwood has a history of outstanding outdoor performance. Even after years of use, our Cumaru hardwood ages naturally to a beautiful silver grey without losing any of its durability. Our Cumaru Spreader bars are a full 1 inch thick, compared to most other competitor’s spreader bars that measure at ⅞ inch. A thicker spreader bar allows more holes for rope, allowing the hammock bed to sit firmly on the hammock. Our spreader bars also feature countersink drilled holes. Countersink drilling is a technique that uses a trumpet drill bit that produces a hole with no hard angles, allowing the rope to pass through without any sharp edges to wear the rope.

Double-Latch Weave

All our Rope Hammocks are Handwoven by highly trained weavers that have mastered the technique of the Double-Latch Weave. This technique is best described when individual ropes pull against each other to produce a lattice-like design, thus eliminating the need for knots within the rope bed itself. We use 15% more rope than our competitors, which provides a sturdier hammock bed for complete relaxation.

Hardware

We plate all our hanging hardware with Zinc Plated Coating, including both tree hooks that come standard with our hammocks. The zinc plated coating prevents the accumulation of rust and ensures a longer outdoor life. Our very own One-piece ring-knot and chain, a product of years of development, permanently attaches the chain to the O-ring. This produces a hammock that is more durable and most importantly makes it impossible to lose the chain.

Few furniture materials match the distinctiveness and sturdiness of Southern cypress. Pair this watertight softwood's inherent handsomeness with the sharp contrast of galvanized steel hardware and a provocative design recalling the grand sweep of the frame of some bygone sailing ship, and you have a feast for the eyes that will often lull your eyes to closing!

Cypress naturally ages to a kind of pewter-gray, though it also takes to varnish like a small child is drawn to an empty hammock, and maintaining this stand's original lustrous sheen is as easy as some light-grit sandpaper and a couple of coats of quality stain, or linseed oil.

Hang your Nags Head Hammock from this elegant 15-foot eye-stopper, and experience your own smooth sailing, right in your own back yard! Also, expect admirers: Our Cypress Hammock Stand just begs for passersby to stop and point, or if close enough, to reach out and touch it.

Note: Don't worry if your own Nags Head Hammock at first seems a little shorter than its advertised length; your hammock will soon reach its full length through natural stretching from initial use.
