Akumal Multicolor Hammock G

The Akumal Hammock.

The Akumal hammock is the Mexican model made from much thicker rope for those of you who need a more robust hammock (it is a net that we recommend if you have children who will be roughhousing in your hammock).

Its comfort is really very nice, because even though it is made with two-thread mesh (unlike the four-thread mesh of the fine thread models), its bedding is soft and silky and so stretchy that you float like on a cloud.

If you choose this hammock for outdoor use, the colors will fade with UV exposure but after a while they will remain light, a bit pastel, forever. This hammock will withstand rain but it takes quite a long time to dry because the rope is thick (this hammock weighs 2.4kg!). Therefore, it is better to bring it inside when you know the weather will be rainy. But it is not an obligation. If the hammock has been caught in a heavy storm, place a broomstick across it and let it dry.

Very important: wash it at least once a year. This is the secret for your hammock to last a long time. Washing removes microscopic organic debris that get trapped in the cotton and are prone to mold once the hammock is folded for the winter. Net hammocks should not be machine washed. Take a bucket of hot water, some regular detergent, stir vigorously, rinse thoroughly, and let your hammock dry outside. In winter, store it indoors and not in a garden shed (mice, humidity).

There you go, I think I haven't forgotten anything, you know almost everything!
