Hanging in any hammock can be dangerous. Be careful, follow the hanging instructions, and don’t exceed the safe weight limits.
The Safety Facts:
Recommended hanging height of a hammock is 3-4 feet.
Our hooks and ropes are safe up to 400 lbs (on double hammocks).
Be sure to check the knots to ensure they are secure before hammocking.
Not recommended for permanent positioning out of doors (extended exposure to sun and weather will weaken the fabric).
Don’t hang your hammock on a cliff. Don’t leave your hammock outside in the weather for weeks. Don’t spin around in your hammock. Don’t try to hammock surf. Color Cloud Hammocks can’t be responsible if you do something stupid. (If you are planning to hang your hammock in Washington DC you may also want to know that National Park rangers frown on hammock hanging from Federally Protected Cherry Blossom Trees.)
Re-tying Knots: If you need to remove the rope and hooks, always be sure to re-tie them securely using the bowline knot.
