Caribbean Rope Hammock in Tan: This is a great rope hammock and exactly what I was looking for. I couldnβt be happier with my selection. It is comfortable and looks great. Iβve not tried it with two people lying down but it sure works for a 6β 2β guy weighing over 200 lbs.
When laid flat on the floor (without tension), the space between the 55β-wide spreader bars is about 78βand another 21β 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. Iβd suggest going with at least a 15 stand for this hammock.
It really is a beautiful hammock and the rope construction is top-notch. Iβll probably buy another when this one wears out.
