Frequently Asked Questions

1 - 1 of 1

Q1: Do I buy cotton or nylon?

A: Hammock chairs made from cotton are extremely comfortable and soft. Cotton as a material will move and breathe with you. The color of cotton will be a natural, soft color and not a bright white or brilliant hue. If comfort is your driver – cotton is the choice for you. As cotton is a natural material, it will fade over time with the sun’s UV rays and if left out to the elements, will show deterioration and wear sooner than it’s nylon counterpart. Ideally, cotton hammock chairs are used on a covered porch or area protected from elements. If you plan to keep your hammock chair inside for sleeping, cotton is the hands down winner.

Hammock chairs made from nylon provide virtually unsurpassed durability. As a synthetic material, nylon provides the ability to produce beautiful and vibrant color hues. The nylon hammock will stand up to the elements extremely well, retain their color longer than cotton and the weave is incredibly strong. However, nylon does not have the same soft and comfortable feel of cotton and some consider nylon to be a bit stiff in comparison. If you want a low maintenance hammock chair that will last for several seasons, nylon hammock chairs will fit the bill nicely.

Assembly and Installation Instructions

INDOOR HANGING INSTRUCTIONS

Locate a Ceiling Joist by tapping or using a stud finder. The beam must be a solid straight-grained structural joist, usually found every 16 to 18 inches from each other.
Vertically drill a 5/16-inch pilot hold in the middle of the joist for the screw to go into.
We recommend that you rotate the screw eye in all the way to the eye for best support.
Tie the 2 free ends of the chair ropes onto the large S-hook by using an overhand knot.
Hang the S-hook onto the screw eye and determine the rope length that suites your ceiling height.
The assembled chair should hang approximately 12 to 14 inches from the floor, based on your personal preference.
You may need to make some adjustments to the rope until you find the right sitting height to accommodate your own height.
Insert the dowels deeply into the boot cups.
Get a good book or crossword puzzle and get ready to Relax!

INSTRUCTIONS FOR HANGING THE CHAIR OUTDOORS

Tie a separate loop of rope over the tree limb, and drop it down to a height one can reach from the ground.
Follow the hanging instructions from the instructions for Hanging the Chair Indoors beginning at Step 3.
Once the chair is assembled, hook the large S-hook onto the rope loop of the chair.
Some adjustments may need to be made until you find the perfect height for your desired relaxation.
You may consider purchasing a Tree Strap & Carabineer Clamp for quick hook-up and release.

Maintenance and Care Instructions

Machine Washing
Holding the two hanging end rings in your hands, bring them together, folding the hammock chair in half. Tie the hammock chair together with string just below the hanging rings. Tie the hammock chair together again, at the opposite end, and once more in the middle of the hammock chair. This should prevent the metal rings from becoming entangled with the string bed of the hammock chair, and the strings themselves from getting tangled as well. Put the tied up hammock chair into a pillowcase, and tie the pillowcase closed. Be sure to tie it securely, as the washing machine has rigorous agitation, and you do not want the hammock chair to come out of the pillow. Use mild detergent to wash. It's important to not use bleach. After washing, carefully remove hammock chair from pillowcase and untie. Hang up hammock chair and spread out as much as possible to dry completely. Do not put the hammock chair in a tumble dryer.

Hand Washing
Holding the two hanging rings in your hands, bring them together, folding the hammock chair in half. Tie the hammock chair together with string just below the hanging rings. Tie the hammock chair together again, at the opposite end, and once more in the middle of the hammock chair. This should prevent the metal rings from becoming entangled with the string bed of the hammock chair, and the strings themselves from getting tangled as well. In a large sink or bathtub, immerse the hammock chair in water mixed with a mild detergent. It's important to not use bleach. With your hands, agitate the water until you feel the hammock chair is clean. After washing, carefully untie and unfold the hammock chair. Hang up hammock chair and spread out to dry completely. Do not put the hammock chair in a tumble dryer.

Storage
After first making sure your hammock chair is clean and completely dry, hold the two hanging rings in your hands, bring them together, folding the hammock chair in half. Tie the hammock chair together with string just below the hanging rings, and again just above the point where the hammock bed begins, to prevent tangling. When storing, it's important to protect against moisture, soiling and critters. The easiest way to prevent these threats to your hammock chair is to use a storage bag made of outdoor, weather resistant, durable fabric that allows the hammock chair to breath. If you do not have a storage bag, hang the hammock chair from its metal rings in your garage or basement, or anywhere it will remain dry and out of the way. If you find any mold or mildew when you bring your hammock chair out the next season, we recommend using a mild detergent.
