Hammock Chair with Albizia XXL Lunatta Stand

Albizia XXL Hanging Chair Hammock: Comfort, Quality, and Maintenance

Care of the Hanging Chair

The seat is machine washable at 40°C. When used outdoors, pollens, organic debris, dust mites, and fungi eventually settle into the fabric. It is essential if you want your chair to age well to wash it at least once a year at the end of the season. Say goodbye to all problems! Likewise, if you cannot enjoy it indoors all year round, store it in a dry place. Avoid garden sheds and other damp places frequented by mice!

Care of the Frame

This item is not made of stainless steel, so it is not guaranteed against rust. If you use this frame outdoors, we observe (in our oceanic Landes climate, 5 km from the beach) that the first signs of oxidation appear after 2 to 3 years. There is a miraculous paint available at DIY stores. "Hammerite" paint is applied in a single coat directly on the metal after very light sanding and will protect your frame for another 3 to 4 years. It is available in the original hammered gray color as well as many other shades.

We recommend a maximum weight of 100 kg for this frame because its flexibility imposes certain limits; even if the frame won’t break beyond 100 kg, it becomes somewhat unstable. For people over 100 kg, we strongly advise our model "Soledad Hanging Chair Frame". That’s also fair trade: being honest and advising you well. We strive to make the hammock a success for you, and we have been doing so since 1988! As they say, "there’s expertise in the hands".

Unmatched Durability

You may have noticed that we specify the number of cords in the hammock’s arms. This model, for example, has 52 cords in total (26 on each side), each with a resistance of 16 kg. It’s important to know that the 16 kg resistance rating comes from tests showing the breaking point of each cord is actually 32 kg. The safety rule for hammocks is to divide the breaking point by 2. That’s why you occasionally see photos on our product sheets showing tests with considerable weights in our hammocks. Indeed, we have never managed to break one of our hammocks during testing!

Similarly, a 2mm diameter cord can have a resistance of 16 kg, while another of the same diameter might only hold 5 kg. The resistance of a single thread matters. It all depends on the quality of the thread used. The stronger it is, the more expensive it is (let’s not forget that the hammock is a heavy product and the cost of raw materials greatly influences its final price). Also, the manufacturing technique matters: thread density per meter and twisting technique.

In our Colombian manufacturing, the cord making up the hammock arms is traditionally called "Piola Curican." It is made of 3 strands. Each strand is twisted in one direction, and when the three are assembled together, they are twisted in the opposite direction. That’s why when a customer brings us a hammock that is ten years old or even older and at the end of its life, we sometimes recover the arm cords to use later for repairs!
