Pawleys Island Hammock Review

During the summer, chilling in the shade in your yard, patio or porch sounds like the ideal way to pass the time. Picture yourself stretched out in a hammock, swaying in the breeze, with a cool drink in hand.

However,  finding a good hammock is easier said than done. There are so many types, brands, and builds that it can make your head spin. This article looks at a very popular hammock that you might really like.

Pawleys Island Hammock 

The Pawleys Island Hammock is a relatively large hammock that can fit two fairly large people. It is primarily made of DuraCord, looks nice, and is easy to set up as well, not to mention that it also comes at a reasonable price. So, if you want an excellent hammock for your porch, patio, or in your yard, the Pawleys Island Hammock is a fantastic option to consider.

Over 130 years ago, riverboat captain Joshua John Ward wanted to get a good night’s sleep during sultry South Carolina summer nights. So, he began with some rope and wood and created this comfortable rope hammock. Two wooden spreader bars and a clew knot with a ring will hang the hammock where you want it.

Who is This Product For?

The Pawleys Island Hammock is for people who want a relaxing place to nap, sleep, or just hang out. Hammocks like these are fantastic for patios, porches, and yards. The Pawleys Island Hammock is advertised as a two-person hammock, ideal for two people or one big person. This is also a hammock with no problems getting wet, so it’s perfect for outdoor use.

What’s Included?

When you purchase the Pawleys Island Hammock, you get a sizeable two-person hammock made of durable DuraCord. In addition, the package comes with all required mounting hardware, both for beam/post and tree mounting.

Overview of Features

This may be a simple hammock, but it has some excellent features worth noting. First and foremost, in terms of size, it measures 13 feet long by 55 inches wide (almost 5 feet wide). This means that it can comfortably fit one person and is even large enough for two people, thus making it an excellent hammock for couples.

Of course, there is a limit to how big the people can be, but with that being said, this is a very strong hammock. The Pawleys Island Hammock has a weight capacity of 450 pounds, which should be more than enough to hold up two people.

One of the reasons why the Pawleys Island Hammock is strong and durable is the high-quality DuraCord, one of the densest and strongest ropes on the market. It is made of a synthetic blend as durable as polyester yet softer than cotton. Remember that this material is also all-weather approved, so it can get wet no problem, and it won’t rot either; mold and mildew will not easily take hold.

Comfort is something we also want to talk about because some people find rope hammocks somewhat uncomfortable. However, thanks to the softness of the DuraCord, most would agree that the Pawleys Island Hammock is supremely comfortable. In addition, the ropes do not form one continuous layer -there are plenty of gaps - so, the Pawleys Island Hammock will provide plenty of ventilation to help keep you cool on hot summer days.

The mounting hardware is made of high-quality materials and is plated with zinc to prevent rust and corrosion. Keep in mind that the Pawleys Island Hammock is designed to be hung on a patio or porch (in between two beams) but also comes with tree hooks so you can set it up between two trees.
