Caribbean Rope Hammock - 55 Inch - Soft-Spun Polyester (Purple)

Caribbean Rope Hammock in Tan: This is a great rope hammock and exactly what I was looking for. I paired it with the Algoma 15ft Russian Pine Wood Arc Hammock Stand and couldn’t be happier with my selections. It is comfortable and looks great on the wood stand. I’ve not tried it with two people lying down but it sure works for a 6’ 2” guy weighing over 200 lbs.When laid flat on the floor (without tension), the space between the 55”-wide spreader bars is about 78”and another 21” on each end from the spreader bar to the O-ring. The rope is spun polyester (same as what you can buy in the hardware store for use on a flagpole or boat) so you should expect some stretching (quite a bit initially). This kind of rope is initially very soft and stretchy but tends to stiffen and become less soft over time in the elements so you may want to keep that in mind when purchasing a hammock stand. I’d suggest going with at least a 13’ or 14’ stand for this hammock.It really is a beautiful hammock and the rope construction is top-notch. I’ll probably buy another when this one wears out.

Well made and very very comfortable, is very soft to the touch. You won’t be sorry if you purchase this Hammock

Beautiful hammock, rope is great quality, is soft and supports my fiance and I - 400lbs total - with no issue. Well worth the price.

The rings at the ends of the hammock do not come with attached chains. The rings are fairly thick. With the chain that I already had, the standard locking carabiners were either too big or too small to fit both the ring and my stout stainless steel chain. I initially tried some D-ring aluminum carabiners that I already had, but they were not strong enough. Ultimately, I found "open link chain connectors" at the hardware store. Looks like the right hook carabiner or anchor shackle may work as well, but plan for this issue.I am happier than I expected to be. The material is indeed softer than the cotton ones I've had in the past. I figured that synthetics would be harder, but turns out that cotton gets very hard once it gets wet. This one has been unchanged by the rain. I used to always use a blanket on the hammock, but you don't really need one with this.Nicely made. Seems very durable.I bought it in green and my daughter thought that was a mistake as the traditional looks is white. I find he green blends into the yard and calls less attention to the hammock. I like the green color.So, plan for the connection issues. Great product.

nice and wide. looks pretty. I wish it were softer and had more of a cotton rope feel as it hurts my head. but this is very well made and handsome. Looks great from my Florida Lenai

Love this hammock, it is well made, holds its shape and looks beautifully stylish. Sold by a small company that really cares about their product and when I had an issue with shipping, they responded and reacted immediately to fix the issue to my satisfaction. I would give 6 stars if that was an option.

Top quality hammock. The weave is very well made. This is my 4th rope hammock, it is as good as the famous name from Carolina. I also had a hammock from Castaway that was a bargain price and it showed in a poor weave that was uncomfortable. If you buy this one, be aware that you need the hanging hardware for your hammock stand. I now have this for a year and it's holding up well in the Florida outdoors year round. This is my second hammock from this company. I bought another December 2018, still a very good hammockUpdate; this current hammock' wood spreader bars are deteriorating quickly. Not the same quality this hammock has had in the past. This was the one purchased in 2018 and hung for spring 2019. Quickly the wood's finish peeled and then splits appeared. I am dropping the stars on this new model, other reviews noted this new defect also.it is September 16, 2021. Bought my last Caribbean hammock October 29, 2020. The wooden spreader bars have many large splits,safety issue. I have bought a half dozen of these over the last 15 years. They have been lasting shorter amounts of time. Woods develop deep splits and bugs move in. Just bought a new orange one. It is comfortable and I hope to get a year of use.

This hammock arrived a lot faster than I expected. Through the packaging I could tell the green that I chose was beautiful so I was anxious to set it up. I have a stand that I use and I did have to the put the hammock up on the top links--it is so stretchy everyone was sinking to the ground. However, that still puts it at about waist height which is still manageable. Plus, it is SO COMFORTABLE. If I could, I would get rid of my bed and hang it up in my bedroom. It is beautiful, so very soft, sturdy, and of good quality. It will be perfect for the southern fall season!
