Durable Fabrics

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

Cumaru Spreader Bar

A wood that is naturally resistant to both rot and insect infestation, and has oils that repel water, Oak blends both exceptional strength and a handsome appearance. Our Oak spreader bars are repeatedly hand-dipped in honey-gold marine-grade varnish allowing a longer outdoor life and exceptional good looks. Our Oak 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.

Rolled Rim Grommets with Spur Washers

We are very particular with every aspect of our hammocks even down to the grommets on all our fabric hammocks. 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. The industry standard, however, is the telescoping grommet, which our testing has shown rips loose from the fabric before the rolled-rim grommet every time.

Hardware

We plate all our hanging hardware with Galvanized Steel Coating, including both tree hooks that come standard with our hammocks. The Galvanized 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.

Non-absorbent Padding

Each of our Soft Weave Hammocks are filled with a non-absorbent polyester fiberfill batting that is sewn in between the two layers of fabric. The filling adds a pillow-like softness to the already comfortable fabric hammock. The fiberfill is a nonabsorbent material allowing water to drain through and provide quick drying.

Stand

Made of 7 ply American Cypress with an award winning design, this is the most renowned and imposing hammock stand ever made. The beams of our 7 ply stand are 3x5 while our 4 ply stand features beams of 3x3. Both feature a weight capacity of 450 lbs and the same length and width. The galvanized hardware provides superior esthetic and durability against rust versus other zinc plated items.

Cypress is well known for its resistance to decay and insects making it the ideal choice for outdoor applications. It's no wonder that so many colonial homes were constructed of this material. The ROMAN ARC® Deluxe Cypress Wood Hammock Stand exudes hints of European architecture with a curved arc design.
