6. Maintenance

Proper maintenance will extend the life of your hammock and stand:

• Cleaning the Fabric: The hammock fabric (65% cotton, 35% polyester) can be hand-washed or machine-washed on a gentle cycle with mild detergent. Allow to air dry completely.
• Cleaning the Wooden Stand: Wipe the oiled softwood stand with a damp cloth. For deeper cleaning, use a mild wood cleaner. Periodically re-oil the wood to maintain its finish and protect it from weather elements.
• Metal Components: The galvanized hooks and stainless steel chains are designed for durability. Clean them with a damp cloth if necessary. Ensure they are dry to prevent rust, especially if stored.
• Storage: During prolonged periods of non-use or harsh weather conditions, it is recommended to store the hammock fabric indoors in a dry place. The wooden stand can remain outdoors but will benefit from protection from extreme weather.

7. Troubleshooting

If you encounter any issues with your hammock, consider the following:

• Hammock feels unstable: Ensure all stand connections are securely tightened. Verify that the hammock chains are evenly adjusted on both sides and properly hooked. The stand should be on a flat, level surface.
• Hammock sags too much: Adjust the chains to a higher link on the stand to reduce sag. Remember to exit the hammock before making adjustments.
• Squeaking noises: Check all metal-to-metal connections. A small amount of lubricant on the hooks or chain links may resolve the issue.
• Wood fading or cracking: This is normal for outdoor wood over time. Re-oiling the stand regularly will help protect it and restore its appearance.

If problems persist, please contact tectake customer support.
