Description

Feeling a little short on joy lately? This inspired reimagining of a hammock-style single swing could just be the thing to reinvigorate that waning smile of yours!

Though compact, our Sunbrella Integrated Pewter Cushioned Single Swing blends modern sophistication with exceptional durability. Featuring a sleek, textured pattern in versatile shades of grey, this fabric adds a contemporary and elegant touch to your outdoor space. Relaxation this fine will only make you greedy for more, so we figured we had better construct this swing to last!

Durable Fabrics

Not only is the craftsmanship of our swings the highest level of quality, but we also choose the highest quality outdoor fabrics as well. We use a combination of Sunbrella Solution-dyed acrylic Fabric and our in-house brand DURACORD® Polyolefin Fabric. Sunbrella branded fabric is the foremost fabric in the outdoor industry made from 100% solution-dyed acrylic. Solution-dyed acrylic, which means the fibers of the fabric are dyed in a color before they are woven into the fabric. Sunbrella is not printed or dyed after the fabric is made. The fabric is water-resistant and will not fade. You can even soak it in bleach and the color will remain the same this is why we use Sunbrella fabric on the tops of our swings. DURACORD® polyolefin fabric is not only fast drying but is also resistant to rot, mold, mildew, and staining, as well. We use the DURACORD® Fabric on the bottom of our fabric swings because DURACORD® has better abrasion resistance than Sunbrella.

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 a 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 swing market at 85 ft./lb., this results in less stretching and increased support when relaxing in your swing.

Cumaru Spreader Bar

A Brazilian hardwood similar to teak, Cumaru, is 5 times harder and denser than pine, cedar, and redwood. Our 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 competitors’ spreader bars that measure at ⅞ inch. 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.

Rolled Rim Grommets with Spur Washers

We are very particular with every aspect of our swings even down to the grommets on all our tufted swings. Every grommet we use has tiny spurs on the back of the connecting washer forcing part of the fabric into the lip of the grommet itself, creating a more secure bond. We have also experimented with making the fabric around the grommet stronger by sewing an “X” on the fabric before placing the grommet, by adding that extra stitching it gives those tiny spurs more fabric to grip onto. The industry standard, however, is the telescoping grommet, which our testing has shown rips lose from the fabric before the rolled-rim grommet every time.

Non-absorbent Padding

Each of our Single Cushioned Swings are filled with a non-absorbent 1.5” Urethane Foam that is sewn in between the two layers of fabric. The foam adds a pillow-like softness to the already comfortable fabric seat. The Foam Center is a nonabsorbent material allowing water to drain through and provide quick drying.

Hardware

Equipped with 316 marine-grade stainless steel hardware, offering superior rust resistance and longevity even in the harshest environments. The galvanized steel hanging chains add an extra layer of protection against corrosion, ensuring your swing remains secure and beautiful for years to come. 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 swing that is more durable and most importantly makes it impossible to lose the chain.

Despite the advanced weatherability of a Nags Head Hammocks product, we do always recommend storing it in an enclosed dry place away from harsh chemicals and foraging wildlife during prolonged bad weather and other protracted periods when it's going unused, to ensure its longest possible life.
