I just had to tell you we bought one of these from you about 2 years ago and it’s absolutely fantastic. We love it. Brilliant...

Frequently asked questions about our hammocks and Camden Lock Market
- Well Hung Travel Hammocks
Are they suitable for children?
Are they suitable for children? All of our hammocks are suitable for children however hammocks should be hung very low to the ground if they to be used by children and children should always be supervised. For very young children (and babies) hammocks should be hung in more of a ‘u’ shape and the children should be placed lying across the hammock. Machine-washable Well Hung Travel Hammocks are the most robust and therefore probably the best hammocks for children to use - they are hard to damage, easy to clean and impossible to tangle. Small hammocks are ideal for older children but medium sized hammocks may be better for boisterous younger children to play in as their width makes them almost impossible to fall out of.
Can I wash my hammock?
Can I wash my hammock? Well Hung Travel Hammocks are very easy to wash - remove the ropes, put on a cool wash in the washing machine, hang them out to dry - it takes no time at all - then re-tie the ropes (they are tied with bowline knots) and they are ready to use. They keep their colour well but do not stain easily. Each hammock includes a wash-care label sewn into the bag.
How do I get in and out?
How do I get in and out? The golden rule whenever you hang your hammock for the first time is to test that everything is safe and secure by slowly sitting on your closed hammock and then gently bouncing up and down. Only when you know everything is definitely Ok should you lie down (remember to repeat this procedure if someone else joins you in the hammock in case the supports aren’t strong enough). To get into the hammock open it out and sit down carefully in the centre (as if sitting on a chair) before turning around and lifting your feet in. Lying diagonally or straight across the hammock allows you to lie flatter, enabling a better posture for sleeping. To get out of the hammock - put your feet on the ground, sit up and then stand up (the lower the hammock is hung to the ground the harder this may be).
Doesn’t it get hot?
Doesn’t it get hot? Although they are made from a synthetic fabric, it is breathable so Well Hung Travel Hammocks are refreshingly cool; especially where your body is touching the fabric. They have been used all over Africa and Asia with no problem. If you lie in full sun with the medium and large hammocks wrapped around you it can prevent air circulation but as long as you keep them open they are as cool as a cotton hammock - our fabric does not get hot and sticky and make you sweat either. At night time in medium and large hammocks you can use the hammock to cover yourself to block out the wind and also mosquitoes.
Can I leave my hammock outside?
Can I leave my hammock outside? Well Hung Travel Hammocks can be left outside all year round as the hammock fabric and rope is weatherproof and dries very quickly so it does not rot. Exposure to strong sunlight will very slowly fade (and weaken) the synthetic fabric however UK customers have reported leaving their hammock outside permanently for 4 years and still the whole family could lie in it together. You should regularly examine the rope and fabric for damage and take more care as the hammock gets older. Always ensure the fabric is fully dry (especially at the ends) before packing the hammock into its bag and do not store it in a damp place. To prolong the life (and enjoyment) of your hammock it is obviously best to take it down when not in regular use.
How can I hang a hammock indoors?
How can I hang a hammock indoors? We supply hooks to drill into most types of walls or ceilings, both indoors and out which include fixing instructions. For masonry (i.e. brick, stone and breezeblock etc.) our wall hooks are ideal. For ceiling joists or with wood or partition walls only our wall and ceiling hooks are suitable - they are also suitable for use with masonry the same as our wall hooks. If you have masonry walls you may decide which hooks are best depending on which drill you have - wall hooks need one 18mm diameter hole and the wall and ceiling hooks need 4 normal sized holes (approx 8mm). We also sell stands that are perfectly suitable for indoors and they are easy to fold away and store when not in use. If you are lucky enough to have columns, exposed beams or a very strong staircase in your house you can make full use of them (perhaps combined with wall hooks on one side) - you will not need to add anything to free standing supports like these as our rope and hook system will wrap around them. Our hammocks have also been successfully hung underneath double bunk beds (with no bed underneath).
How much space do I need to hang a hammock?
How much space do I need to hang a hammock? All of our Well Hung Travel Hammocks are the same length (they are different widths) but it is probably the small size that requires the biggest space to hang it. This is because the small size is only wide enough to lie at a very small angle so most of your body goes from end to end. The ideal distance between the 2 end loops of all sizes of Well Hung Travel hammock (not including rope) is around 2.75m (9’) and the ends should be at least 1m (3’) from the ground. Any hammock will fit in a bigger space but you may need extra rope. The wider apart your supports are, the higher the ends of your hammock will have to be hung. The medium sized hammocks can be hung in a much narrower space and are better if they are not hung too tight as the idea is to lie across them or at a diagonal angle. The narrower the space, the more diagonally you should lie - it is possible to sleep in a medium or large sized hammock with the ends hanging about 1m apart but obviously you need to hang the ends quite high to accommodate this. The lowest part of the curve of the hammock should be at around chair height so it is easy to get in and out of. Your hammock supports don’t have to be perfectly spaced apart or at the same height– adjust the length of the rope you use, the height you attach it, or the curve of the hammock accordingly. It is better to get the end loops of the hammock hung at the same height wherever possible.
Where can I hang a hammock if I don’t have trees?
Where can I hang a hammock if I don’t have trees? Until you have a hammock of your own you don’t really think about all of the things you can hang them from but, once you do start looking, you’d be surprised what you can find:
Hooks can be drilled into most types of walls, indoors and out, either on both ends or in combination with trees, posts etc. We sell 2 types which are suitable for walls or ceilings.
Posts can be dug into the garden, either set in concrete or removable (dig at an angle away from hammock & line hole with drainpipe); in both cases use 9’ x 4” post and bury at least 3’ deep; create a garden feature! Or, if you don’t want a hole, you can use a pointed 4’ post, leaning away from the hammock, stuck in and guyed with 2 ropes & very large pegs.
Fences (secure ones) also work well, as do pergolas, park benches (concreted in), lamp posts, columns, boat rails, bandstands, roof beams etc. etc.
Hammock Stands are numerous and range from cheap and nasty to wooden and elegant. We supply high quality Amazonas stands that are big enough for most kinds of hammock and that hold 120kg (they are big enough for all types of Well Hung Hammock). We sell small and large metal frames. Small frames carry 120kg and are perfectly suitable for all of our hammocks except Mexican ones and Large Brazilian ones (and of course chair hammocks!). Our large stand is big enough for all of our hammocks. We also have a wooden 'arc' frame which can take the same hammocks as our smaller metal frame. There are plenty of other stands out there and most of them do the job their name implies – hang hammocks - but you are unlikely to find them much cheaper than ours! If you are buying one of our frames for your own hammock you have to be very sure that it fits the frame you intend to buy as we cannot accept returns on any frames unless they are faulty. If you need help in choosing the right frame for your hammock, give us a call and we will be happy to guide you.How many people will these hammocks hold?
How many people will these hammocks hold? We have 2 sizes of Well Hung Travel Hammocks and they both have a weight limit of 180kg (approx 28st/400lb). Single size is meant to be a single and is really only comfortable for one adult to lie in but 3 adults can sit in it. It is big enough for 2 children to lie in. The double hammock is ideal for 1 or 2 adults; it is not too big for 1 adult as you can lie anyway you like in it and it is extremely comfortable but it is definitely big enough for 2 large adults to lie in - think of it as a double bed. Always make sure that the place you are hanging your hammock is strong enough to take your weight (see ‘how do I get in and out?’) and re-check if others are going to join you in the hammock.
How do your hammocks compare - how do I know which is the right type for me?
How do your hammocks compare - how do I know which is the right type for me? Well Hung Travel Hammocks are the most portable and easiest hammock to look after so they are perfect for families, travellers and anyone who wants a no-fuss hammock for the garden . They are made from a parachute-type synthetic material that easily holds the weight of 3 adults yet they fit into a tiny bag and include rope and hooks to hang them with. They can be left outside all year round, they feel cool in hot weather, they can’t become entangled and they are easily machine-washable. All this and they are still extremely comfortable.
Mexican Hammocks are about the most traditional kind of hammock you can find. They are made with hundreds of woven cotton strings that gives you a feeling of floating on air. They are our strongest kind of hammock because they hold the most people but they need a bit more care than a Well Hung Travel Hammock. They shouldn’t really be left outside in the rain and they are easier to catch on branches and shoes etc. so they are not our most child-friendly hammock. However, you can’t get a more eye-catching hammock than a Mexican one so they make a beautiful addition to your home.
Brazilian hammocks are somewhere between the practicality of a Well Hung Travel Hammock and the beauty of a Mexican Hammock. They are made in Brazil from 100% cotton so as with any cotton hammock, you shouldn’t let them get wet without allowing them to dry soon after. They are made from a cotton fabric rather than a weave so they are more robust than a Mexican hammock.
- Mexican String Hammocks
How many people will they hold?
How many people will they hold? We have 2 sizes of Mexican hammock. Standard is meant to be a single but it is big enough to hold 2 adults quite comfortably. The large hammock is ideal for 2 adults but it is plenty big enough for 3. One of my customers told me they put 9 people in my large Mexican hammock at a party but they didn’t show me photos to prove it! The weight limit for both sizes of Mexican hammocks is 200kg (approximately 31st/450lb). Always make sure that the place you are hanging your hammock is strong enough to take your weight (see ‘how do I get in and out?’) and re-check if others are going to join you in the hammock.

How much space do I need?
How much space do I need? Both our standard and large Mexican Hammocks are the same length they require the same amount of space to hang them in (they are different widths). The ideal distance between the 2 end loops of the hammock (not including rope) is around 3 - 3.5m (10’) and the ends should be at least 1.5m (5’) from the ground. Any hammock will fit in a bigger space but you may need extra rope. The wider apart your supports are, the higher the ends of your hammock will have to be hung. The lowest part of the curve of the hammock should be at around chair height so it is easy to get in and out of. If you are fixing hooks are posts hang them a little higher than you think you'll need as a new hammock will stretch a bit at first and you don't want it eventually touching the ground! Mexican hammocks especially should not be hung too tight as the idea is to lie across them or at a diagonal angle (not from end to end). Your hammock supports don’t have to be perfectly spaced apart or at the same height– adjust the length of the rope you use, the height you attach it, or the curve of the hammock accordingly. It is better to get the end loops of the hammock hung at the same height wherever possible.
Can I leave my hammock outside?
Can I leave my hammock outside? Mexican hammocks can be left outside during summer months but it is important to dry them out quickly if they do get wet – hang the hammock as you normally would and place a broom or stick crosswise in the net to keep it spread out; this allows the threads to dry thoroughly. Never fold your hammock when wet and do not store it in a damp place. As the main body of the hammock is made from cotton it will weaken over time if left damp. The hammocks are dyed using natural dyes so they may fade if left in strong sunlight. To prolong the life (and enjoyment) of your hammock it is obviously best to take it down when not in use.

Doesn’t it get hot?
Doesn’t it get hot? The thousands of small holes in a Mexican hammock allow the air to circulate unhindered all around you so it is actually much cooler than lying on a bed or sitting on a sun-lounger. Because of all the holes, however, remember you are at the mercy of mosquitoes!

- Cotton Brazilian Hammocks
How many people will they hold?
How many people will they hold? We have 2 sizes of Brazilian hammock. The single hammock is meant as a generous single but it may be possible to squeeze 2 adults in it - it's definitely big enough for 2 adults to 'lounge' in though. The double Brazilian hammock is a very definite double although you won't get lost in it if you are on your own! The weight limit for our small and medium Brazilian hammocks is 120kg (approximately 18.5st/260lb) and the large holds 160kg. Always make sure that the place you are hanging your hammock is strong enough to take your weight (see ‘how do I get in and out?’) and re-check if someone else going to join you in the hammock.

Can I wash my hammock?
Can I wash my hammock? Brazillian hammocks can be machine washed on a very gentle setting but it is safer to hand-wash them. Tie the cotton strings at each end at equal intervals (about 20-25cm apart) with pieces of string - with the ends tied like this there is less risk of tangled strings. Leave the hammock to soak in tepid water with shampoo and a handful of salt (to ‘set’ the colour); agitate the hammock in the water or rub very gently. Rinse thoroughly after washing in tepid water. The hammock should be dried straight away after washing – hang the hammock as you normally would (after untying the strings from the ends) and place a broom or stick crosswise in the hammock to keep it spread out; this allows the fabric to dry thoroughly without getting the strings tangled. Never fold your hammock when wet and do not store it in a damp place.
