Hammock Frames

 Should I leave my Hammock Frame outdoors?

Timber Frames: All timber products left outdoors wears a lot quicker than if left undercover, our frames are  lacquered but will be need to be up kept when signs of wear appear to save a big job if left unattended.

Powder coated steel frames: The steel frames are also able to withstand the outdoors, if the powder coating gets scratched then the steel underneath may start to rust so same deal with the upkeep.

What would be the postage of a frame (either a Roman Arc or an Adjustable Frame) and a Jumbo hammock to Melbourne?  I'm also considering a chair and frame, is that the same cost?

Our shopping cart calculates all this shipping costs, so you can make any combination and the cart will come up with different calculations, all frames and hammocks are set up by zone - weight. If you are not sure give us a call. 

Hi there, I've seen your DELUXE CYPRESS TIMBER FRAME 411 CENTIMETRES LONG stand on your website. You say it is best for the resort style in cream colour, does this also fit your regular queen and king size hammocks?

You could use a Mexican Hammock without spreader bars with the Cypress Hammock frame but if the hammock is longer than the frame and the frame it is not adjustable to fit the hammock to the frame you will need to make a knot close to the loops on each side to fit it
Please find attached photo of an example

A hammock without spreader bars usually needs to be hanged in a "U" shape but in this case due to the height and length of the Cypress frame the hammock will hang in a flat U shape so a hammock without spreader bars will feel a bit stiff and tight.

MATERIAL

 I leave my hammock outdoors, what material do you recommend?

If you plan to hang your hammock between two trees, we recommend you buy a nylon hammock plus an Outdoor Mexican Hammock Protector. Other options are our Thick-String Cotton Hammocks.

If you plan to hang your hammock on the side of your patio we recommend you purchase a Thick-String Cotton Hammock, a Nylon Hammock or a regular Cotton Hammock with an Outdoor Mexican Hammock Protector.

 How is the softness of Nylon  compared with cotton?

Nylon Hammocks are firmer feeling, with less flex than cotton hammocks. However, the nylon string is silky feeling and incredibly comfortable. The colours are vivid and unlikely to fade. Nylon Mexican Hammocks offer increased durability, which may be better for travel or regular outdoor use. Nylon is available with our King and Jumbo sizes.

 Are Nylon hammocks sweaty?

No they are not, people in Mexico sleep all night in Nylon Mexican Hammocks or in Cotton Mexican Hammocks, doesn't matter. This is because their  diamond-like threading allow the circulation of air.

What is the difference between a spread bar hammock and a hammock without a bar?

A spread bar hammock is known as Resort style hammock. A hammock without a bar is a typical Mexican hammock. This is our specialty. It was designed in Mexico and they are considered the most comfortable hammocks in the world by customers. Chiropractors and Orthopaedists recommend them for people with back problems.
 
 

HANGING DISTANCES

 What is the length of the smaller hammocks in Cotton, Nylon and thicker cotton?

Because all hammocks are different and are made by different artesian doesn't exist a fixed length per size of hammock, but if you go to all our hammock descriptions you will find the average length for each size and material.

 What is the recommended distance to hang a hammock?

We recommend that the centre of the hammock when pressed down is between 30 to 45 cms from the ground. High enough for your feet to touch the ground when you sit on the side of the hammock with your legs overhanging the side.

EXPORTING OVERSEAS

 Do you export?

We do export, to almost any country, please ask for details. We have two points of sale. Our main warehouse in Mexico and our shop here in Australia.

MISCELLANEOUS

 Are the hammocks colourfast?

No they are not, but when you wash them please DO NOT use bleach, only use washing soap or a softener

 Which hammocks are best for sleeping in?

All our hammocks are good for sleeping in, but we recommend our King Size in Cotton, Nylon or Hemp or our Jumbo Family Size if you want to use them as your bed. All our Mexican Hammocks demonstrates the highest level of weight distribution possible--weightlessness or "zero gravity".  Every Mexican Hammock  eliminates any pressure points on your body. They actually contour to your body's natural shape.

 How long will my Hammock last?

There are a variety of factors that can impact the life of a hammock, which makes it quite difficult to determine how long a hammock should last. Environmental factors including UV damage, sea salt, rain, and overall climate can have severe effects on a hammock. These are also factors to consider when selecting what kind of hammock to purchase, however given proper care, any hammock can provide enjoyment for many years. Following simple steps such as proper cleaning, appropriate use, and suitable storage when the hammock is not in use can prolong your hammocks life. The best suggestion we can offer is to follow the instructions sent with your Mexican Hammock

 Is there a place I can see these stands and hammocks before I buy one.( I have bought a stand before which was very unstable.

Please contact our retailers or visit our office if you would like to see the hammocks and stands before you purchase them. We use the Adjustable Hammock Frame for to hang our hammock and we think that is very stable.
