Product description
The Pawleys Island Hammocks story goes back to Carolina Low Country more than 130 years ago. Joshua John Ward, a river boat captain, simply wanted a good night’s sleep during sultry summers. He set out with some rope and wood, a little gumption and grit and soon fashioned what would become the basis for our company— the rope hammock—a hand woven bed, two wooden spreader bars, a clew knot with a ring for hanging the hammock. Pretty simple when you think about it.
The Original! Our classic Large Cotton Rope Hammock is among the most luxurious examples of living history you’re ever likely to experience. This superb hammock’s nearly thousand feet of soft, strong, 100-percent cotton 3-ply rope is handsomely hand-woven into a lattice-like cradle of relaxation, for gently rocking those workaday cares away. While wide enough for two, who could blame you if you wanted that extra space all to yourself?
SPECIFICATIONS: Length: 13 ft. x Width: 55 in. Bed Length: 6 ft. 10 in. Weight Capacity: 450 lbs. Hanging Distance: 14-16 ft. Hanging Height: 4 ft. Accommodates: 2 People Includes: (2) Zinc-plated chains and (2) Tree hooks Care: Use Oxyclean or a Mild Detergent, Water and a Soft Scrub Brush
Large Original Cotton Rope Hammock Collection
FEATURES / DETAILS:
Hand Woven using 100% natural yarns and precision twisting and balance. It has been handcrafted the same way for more than 130 years. Oak is naturally resistant to rot and insect infestation. The spreader bars are repeatedly hand-dipped in honey-gold marine-grade varnish for exceptional look and longer outdoor life. Individual ropes pull against each other to produce a lattice-like design, thus eliminating the need for knots within the rope bed itself. We use 15% more rope than most of our competitors. We plate all our hanging hardware, with zinc to protect against rust and ensure an overall longer outdoor life. Manufactured and assembled using the finest parts and leading techniques.

Manufactured and assembled using the finest parts and leading techniques.
Cotton Rope
Hand Woven using 100% natural yarns and precision twisting and balance. It has been handcrafted the same way for more than 130 years.
Oak Spreader Bar
Oak is naturally resistant to rot and insect infestation. The spreader bars are repeatedly hand-dipped in honey-gold marine-grade varnish for exceptional look and longer outdoor life.
Double-Latch Weave
Individual ropes pull against each other to produce a lattice-like design, thus eliminating the need for knots within the rope bed itself. We use 15% more rope than most of our competitors.
Cotton Rope
Handcrafted in much of the same way for the last 130 years, our Cotton rope is comprised of 100% natural cotton yarns spun with precision twisting and balance. It takes our weavers an hour, along with 1,200 feet of cotton rope, to weave a single hammock.
Oak Spreader Bar
A wood that is naturally resistant to both rot and insect infestation, and has oils that repel water, Oak blends both exceptional strength and a handsome appearance. Our Oak spreader bars are repeatedly hand-dipped in honey-gold marine-grade varnish allowing a longer outdoor life and exceptional good looks. Our Oak spreader bars are a full 1 inch thick, compared to most other competitor’s spreader bars that measure at ⅞ inch. A thicker spreader bar allows more holes for rope, allowing the hammock bed to sit firmly on the hammock. Our spreader bars also feature countersink drilled holes. Countersink drilling is a technique that uses a trumpet drill bit that produces a hole with no hard angles, allowing the rope to pass through without any sharp edges to wear the rope.
Double-Latch Weave
All our Rope Hammocks are Handwoven by highly trained weavers that have mastered the technique of the Double-Latch Weave. This technique is best described when individual ropes pull against each other to produce a lattice-like design, thus eliminating the need for knots within the rope bed itself. We use 15% more rope than our competitors, which provides a sturdier hammock bed for complete relaxation.
Hardware
We plate all our hanging hardware with Zinc Plated Coating, including both tree hooks that come standard with our hammocks. The zinc plated coating prevents the accumulation of rust and ensures a longer outdoor life. Our very own One-piece ring-knot and chain, a product of years of development, permanently attaches the chain to the O-ring. This produces a hammock that is more durable and most importantly makes it impossible to lose the chain.
Note: Don’t worry if your own Original Pawleys Island Rope Hammock at first seems a little shorter than its advertised length; your hammock will soon reach its full length through natural stretching from initial use.

Hammock Heaven. Therapeutic! An Oasis!
This is my third Pawleys Island hammock. I have used the same hammock for years! It’s the one to get for sure! This time I hung the hammock between an oak (4’9″ circumference) and a maple (3’3″ circumference). The trees are 18’5″ apart. I used the hooks that came with the hammock. Used a 5/32″ drill for my pilot holes in the trees and used a screwdriver for leverage for the last couple of turns to get the hook eye as close to the tree as possible. The hooks are 5″10′ off the ground which sounds like a lot but it works given the tree distance. I used a taut rope and a level to make sure the two hooks are at the exact same height. Due to the distance between the trees I needed to extend the chains by 2’3″ (bought 2 chains of each 2’3″) and connected them to the chain attached to the hammock with a stainless steel single chain link that opens and closes by a screw closure mechanism (bought 2 of those). Any hardware store will have both. The hardware store I use custom cut the chain to length. At full chain length the hammock swoons a bit and gets within 6″ of the ground. It is fully adjustable. I set it to the 4th chain look on each side and that’s my sweet spot. As the hammock settles in and stretches a bit I may have to change my setting but that’s an easy adjustment. I will also install a hook in my garage so i can easily take the hammock down for the night – or when rain is on the way. I had a hammock pad from my old hammock. Think it’s from LL Bean. I highly recommend it as it provides some measure of protection from bugs biting you from below. Enjoy!

Simply great hammocks & customer service
We are on our 3rd hammock from this company in 10 years. The first one lasted 9 years, always outside in the Florida weather. The second one lasted a year then failed due to a flaw, and the company replaced it immediately and were very easy to work with about it. We are now back to enjoying Floridaâs spectacular sunsets in our spacious and comfortable hammock. The hammock is also a magnet for guestsâ¦when we have friends and family over and someone goes missing, guess where we find themâ¦yep, in the hammock. These hammocks arenât cheap, because they arenât âcheapâ hammocks. I canât imagine not having one of these in my backyard!

Fantastic Hammock
This was a Father’s Day present for my husband and it may be the “best” present ever. He is absolutely thrilled. The construction is excellent and seems very sturdy. We secured it between 2 rairoad ties my husband cemented 30″ deep into the ground since we didn’t have 2 trees close enough together or in a location that we preferred. The extra width is great since we can both easily lay in it at the same time. It’s very comfortable and with the pillow I ordered too, it’s a great place to hang out, read, relax or have a nap. It was a big hit at our annual 4th of July party, especially with the kids who mainly used it as a swing. We live in Colorado so I will bring it inside for the winter. Hope it doesn’t wear out soon, but if it does I will definitely order this one again.

The original, the best!
There is no comparison to itâs competitors hammocks! It is the original and the best. Sturdy, looks great (I prefer the clean look of white). This is my FOURTH PAWLEYâs Island hammock. I have always left my hammocks out during all seasons but winter in IOWA. I found they last 5 to 6 years, with the only negative being some discoloration over time. I find that the 100% cotton hammocks are FAR, FAR more comfortable than the synthetic options. I WILL buy again in 5-6 years!

Great Hammock, formerly made in the USA?
I have to start by saying I am very pleased with the quality and workmanship of this hammock. I just unboxed it today and found that it was just as advertised… almost. While the hammock is well sized for two, soft and strong, I noticed the packaging says designed in the USA, while the Amazon listing says manufactured in the USA. While the country of origin is not my chief reason for choosing this brand, I am a little annoyed. My review would otherwise have been 5 stars.

Update: First one lasted 20 years.
My wife and I bought our first Pawley’s Island Hammock in 1986 shortly before we were married. (We paid $69 at a Service Merhcandise store outside of Chicago.) For years, we used the chains to string the hammock between trees spaced 8-paces apart. For Father’s Day eight year’s ago, my wife and son gave me the stand. Over the years, everyone who saw sat or relaxed in it was awed and had to have one. More than one baby has been safely rocked into slumber in it. At one point, we could fit the whole family on the hammock: me, the wife, son and dog. It was a favorite at family outings. We kept it neatly rolled up and stowed in the car whenever we traveled, just in case there was an opportunity to set it up. Last year, I got lazy and left the hammock outside, it mildewed and one of the line’s parted. Had I taken proper care of it, I’m sure I would have been laying out in it today.So, that led me to ordering the second one, today.I’ll let you know how it turns out. If it lasts half as long, I’ll be a happy camper.6 October 2007Fifteen months have passed and hammock continues to satisfy. No defects noticed.

Oh WOW! Cotton is the best! Stable comfort!
Did my/our homework. Can’t get out of this one! ***Get the cotton***–it really is the most comfortable and our daughters is still going years later–outside now. We just took a cheapo back to Dept store. Expect ours to last just as long. The Presidential is probably what you want? It has room for one to three, and –always use trees to hang the thing using the excellent hardware/instructions provided. The footprint of the stand may be too large for smaller areas but we have the room. Two trees twenty feet apart is good and use chain. We got two five foot sections and got heavy chain and S hooks. This allows adjustment and it does stretch a foot or more–right away. Get your book, Margarita,–pillow, and blanket. You will not leave this crazy thing! It is that cool! Watching for problems–looks like perfect fit so far for our patio areas. I think bigger is better. And this one does not fold you up like a taco. It is very stable! Thanks AMAZON–you are the best!
