Hammock with Inka XL Stand - Poligono Turquoise

The experiment Tropical Influences.

We have specialized in the world of hammocks since 1988. We are not just simple importers and resellers. We create our own fabric designs and our own hammock stand models. Our measurements and designs can only be found with us. Regarding the stands, our objectives are: a quality/price ratio, a height/length ratio which is very important for comfort in the hammock, load resistance (see the test photo), stability, and silence (double bolting). The stainless aspect is not part of our requirements because it is far too costly to achieve.

Maintenance of the metal stand:

Our supports are not made of stainless steel. The first rust spots will appear after one to two years at the points where the tubes connect, where the screws are inserted, and sometimes where there are welds. This is normal; friction wears away the paint layer, exposing the steel. As soon as this type of oxidation becomes visible, it's time to get a can of Hammerite paint (Anthracite hammered gray) and make small touch-ups only on the rust spots. Then, after about 3 to 4 years, the paint on the tubes will start to deteriorate due to UV exposure and humidity. It becomes very dull. That is when you will need to repaint your support entirely.

The properties of Hammerite paint on metal are amazing. With incredible durability, your surface will be protected for at least 3 years. Hammerite paint is available in a wide range of colors at major DIY stores. No primer is needed, and a single coat is sufficient. Metal or Wood Hammock Stand – Maintenance

Maintenance of the Poligono Turquoise hammock.

For your information, this hammock is a genuine Colombian hammock which serves as an everyday bed for many Colombians, whether they are in the countryside or even in the city. This hammock manufacturer, with whom we have been working since 1993, offers superior quality. As a result, this is a hammock that lasts about 3 years for a Colombian who uses it as an everyday bed and washes it in the machine every 10 to 15 days. More economical and lower quality hammocks only last about 6 months! In France, we use hammocks outdoors, and it is mainly the climate that wears out our hammocks. For this reason, we distinguish the lifespan between careful users (those who wash their hammock and bring it inside when it is going to rain for several days) and careless users who leave it outside too much and hardly ever wash it. 10 to 15 years for the former and 5 for the latter !

To ensure your hammock lasts a long time, it is important to wash it at least once a year in the machine at 40°C, or even 60°C if necessary. Our hammocks are the only ones on the market that can withstand such temperatures. Washing removes all organic impurities that get caught between the fibers due to outdoor use. Store it well in a dry place inside the house during winter, and not in a garden shed (mice and humidity). For more information: What is the lifespan of a hammock ?

It is important to regularly untangle the arms of your hammock. When the ropes are tangled, some become shorter, bear all the weight, and eventually break. The two of us can repair almost all kinds of hammocks. Contact us for this old hammock that you cherish so much...
