Caribbean Rope Hammock in Tan: This is a great rope hammock and exactly what I was looking for. I couldnโt be happier with my selection. It is comfortable and looks great. Iโve not tried it with two people lying down but it sure works for a 6โ 2โ guy weighing over 200 lbs.
When laid flat on the floor (without tension), the space between the 55โ-wide spreader bars is about 78โand another 21โ on each end from the spreader bar to the O-ring. The rope is spun polyester (same as what you can buy in the hardware store for use on a flagpole or boat) so you should expect some stretching (quite a bit initially). This kind of rope is very soft and stretchy so you may want to keep that in mind when purchasing a hammock stand. Iโd suggest going with at least a 15 stand for this hammock.
It really is a beautiful hammock and the rope construction is top-notch. Iโll probably buy another when this one wears out.
