FAQ
What kind of weather can these steel hammocks withstand?
The powder-coated steel construction makes these hammocks resistant to rust and corrosion from typical UK weather conditions – rain, humidity, and occasional frost. However, we advise against prolonged exposure to extreme temperatures or direct sunlight for optimal longevity.
Are these hammocks easy to assemble?
Assembly is straightforward, typically taking around 30-45 minutes. Each hammock comes with all necessary fixings – bolts, nuts, and washers – and clear instructions. A basic toolkit may be helpful.
What size person does each hammock comfortably accommodate?
Each hammock is designed to comfortably support individuals up to approximately 18 stone (254 lbs). We recommend checking the specific dimensions of each model for a precise fit.
How do I maintain the steel finish?
To keep your hammock looking its best, regularly wipe down with a damp cloth. Avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners. Periodically applying a thin layer of wax can further protect the powder coating from weathering.
Are these hammocks suitable for children?
While sturdy, these hammocks are primarily designed for adult use. The height and stability may not be appropriate for young children without close supervision. Always prioritise safety when using with children.
What is the warranty on these steel relaxation hammocks?
These hammocks come with a manufacturer's warranty of 1 year against defects in materials and workmanship. Please refer to the specific product listing for full details regarding coverage and exclusions.
Can I paint or treat the steel finish?
While possible, we do not recommend painting or applying any treatments to the steel finish as this could compromise the protective powder coating and void the warranty.
What are the dimensions of a typical steel relaxation hammock?
Dimensions vary slightly between models, but generally expect lengths of 150-180cm (59-71 inches), widths of 80-100cm (31-39 inches) and seat heights of 30-40cm (12-16 inches).
Are the steel components rustproof?
The hammocks are treated with a durable powder coating to provide excellent corrosion resistance. However, regular maintenance and protection from prolonged exposure to harsh conditions will further enhance their lifespan.
Do I need any special tools for assembly?
You’ll primarily need a wrench or spanner (typically 13mm) to tighten the bolts. A screwdriver may also be useful for minor adjustments.
