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 Galvanized Steel, extension chains and O-ring for added support and superior rust protection. 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.

The TRI-BEAM® Hammock Stand is the strongest and safest in the industry. Made in the USA, it is constructed from 2 inch diameter 12 gauge heavy duty steel and has a 600 pound weight limit. This hammock stand is made using a 360-degree Right Connection welding process, which has NEVER failed in our history. The spring pins allow it to easily assemble and store during the off-season The stand is painted using the Cape Shield finishing process, which is a special technique of cleaning, preparing, and powder coating the stand to make it weather resistant and give you many years of enjoyment. This hammock stand comes with durable vinyl plugs to protect the pole ends and with zinc plated hanging hooks.

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.
