Maintenance

Proper care will extend the life and appearance of your Vivere Hammock and Stand.

Hammock Fabric Care (Cotton):

• Cleaning: Hand wash the cotton hammock with mild soap and cold water. Avoid harsh detergents or bleach.
• Drying: Air dry completely. Do not tumble dry.
• Storage: When not in use, especially during inclement weather or off-season, remove the hammock from the stand and store it in a dry, protected area to prevent mildew and fading.

Pine Wood Stand Care:

• Cleaning: Wipe the wood stand with a damp cloth to remove dirt and dust. Avoid abrasive cleaners.
• Protection: To maintain the wood's finish and protect it from weathering, consider applying a wood sealant or stain annually, especially if exposed to direct sunlight and rain.
• Inspection: Periodically check all hardware (bolts, nuts, hooks) for tightness and signs of rust or wear. Tighten as necessary.
• Storage: While the stand is durable for outdoor use, storing it in a covered area during prolonged periods of harsh weather can extend its lifespan.

Troubleshooting

If you encounter issues during assembly or use, refer to these common solutions.

• Difficulty with Bolt Alignment: Ensure all wooden pieces are oriented correctly according to the instructions. Sometimes, pieces may appear similar but have specific alignments for the bolts to fit properly. Lay out all pieces before assembly to visualize the final structure.
• Hammock Too Low/High: Adjust the J-hooks to a different set of pre-drilled holes on the stand's uprights. There are multiple options to customize the hammock's height and tension.
• Stand Instability: Double-check that all bolts and nuts are fully tightened. Ensure the stand is placed on a flat, level surface. Uneven ground can cause instability.
• Hammock "Cocooning": Cotton hammocks, especially Brazilian style, are designed to envelop the user for comfort. If you prefer a flatter lay, ensure the hammock is stretched taut between the hooks.
