Caribbean Rope Hammock - 55 Inch - Soft-Spun Polyester (Dark Blue)

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.

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.

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!

After reading a lot of reviews,I was hesitant to make a choice on this hammock.Some said it was awful and others said it was great.So I ordered it not knowing what I would get.I am replacing a five year old hammock that was breaking apart.I won't mention the brand.My new Carribean hammock arrived today.The steel rings on each end are bigger and better made.The ropes are larger more more sturdier.I hung it where the old one was on two post and it did stretch a good bit.But after taking in a few links on the chain it is fine.I gave it five stars on comfort and sturdiness,but time will tell on durability.I suspect it will do well.I would recommend this to a friend.A word of caution. I don't know how this would work on a hammock stand,Since it does stretch. Once it's broken in, you won't want to get out of it!

Selected this hammock mainly because of the color and positive reviews. Fairly easy to set up between two trees using mounting straps (sold separately). Comfortable, but did end up purchasing a longer flat pillow for neck support. My only complaint is that it takes forever to dry after it rains, it may dry faster if it were in the sun instead of shade.

Does not disappoint! Bought this exact hammock from Amazon 17 years ago. 2008. Leave it outside all year round-Maryland. Last week one of the rope strands finally gave way. Ordered the same hammock again. Perfect. Yes, some hammocks are less expensive, but this new one may outlive me! (76 years old 🤪).

I bought this hammock to replace an aging cotton rope hammock from a pretty high end maker. Since I planned to leave the hammock outside all the time in a sheltered area I wanted to look on the lower part of the price spectrum. However, while this hammock is a less expensive unit compared to others on the market it delivers great value. It's comfortable, nice soft rope. Wood on the hammock is solid and looks like it will hold for for the long haul. I've only used it for a couple of days now, had two naps in it but thumbs up! Works great and would buy another.

When first get it out, the rope feels so soft and it really stretches. Have had to tighten it more and more on the stand we have.. This has been outside during the summer and the wood is still in decent sheep, no peeling. The rope isn't as soft as it was at first which is to be expected. Blue color is like picture.
