Mexican Hammocks

While a Mexican hammock is a very strong and supportive hammock, providing you with years of quality relaxation. There may be times when minor repairs are necessary.

The hammocks shape and comfort is obtained through its tightly interwoven hammock cord. However you may have accidentally caught or pulled one of these cords out from the body weave.  This may result in a tightening of one length of cord and show with a cord loop hanging out. Don’t fear, this is straighford and easy to repair yourself with a little patience.  Below is a link to a youtube video from our weavers that will demonstrate how to  fix this minor problem so you can quickly be back in your hammock.

Repairing your hammock. (Thanks Constantino for making this video)

When handling you hammock to prevent something like this from happening  remember to handle the hammock gently – always hold by the ends (loops) of the hammocks. When hung ensure you have clearance from tree branches or anything else that might accidently hook the hammock while it is in use or if blowing in the wind. As per the instructions provided with each hammock, ensure the clothes you wear while in the hammock are suitable and free from anything that may catch or pull the hammock weave. This is things like buttons, buckles and velcro.

This is not something you should worry about, it is rare to happen. Minor pulls will often through use settle back into the weave.  So grab your book a cold drink, jump in your hammock and enjoy it for years to come!
