6. Maintenance
Proper maintenance will extend the life of your hammock.
- Cleaning the Hammock Fabric: The natural cotton hammock can be spot cleaned with mild soap and water. Allow to air dry completely. For prolonged life, consider bringing the hammock fabric indoors during inclement weather or extended periods of non-use.
- Cleaning the Canopy: The polyester canopy can be wiped clean with a damp cloth.
- Wood Frame Care: The larch wood frame is varnished for outdoor use. To maintain its appearance and durability, especially in harsh weather conditions, consider applying a weather protectant or sealant annually. Regularly check for signs of wear, such as delamination or cracking, and address them promptly.
- Hardware Inspection: Periodically check all bolts, chains, and clips to ensure they remain tight and secure. Tighten as necessary.
- Storage: During off-season or extended periods of non-use, it is recommended to disassemble the hammock and store it in a dry, protected area to prevent weather damage.
