In summer, simple things mean much. Just to relax under trees in my rope hammock, enjoying the steamy Georgia air (hey, I’m from the South - I grew up in this stuff and am very used to it), listening to the birds and sipping sweet tea…this is the life. Now that I have a great new notebook computer, I can get out and enjoy the weather while working (well…kinda, sorta working…).

So while perusing the web in my outdoor nirvana I spied this lovely cushioned single swing hammock chair. Made by the Original Pawley’s Island Hammock Company, the chair is made from fade- and weather-resistant quick dry DuraCord fabric and features a solid oak spreader bar and rust-resistant zinc hardware. This swing hammock chair is built to last a long time outdoors. There’s no fancy frills here - it’s just a great hammock chair with cushions that you can hang outdoors with no fear of the weather and swing away in. If you’re hammock challenged (you know who you are), a hammock chair is easy to get in and out of and they’re just as relaxing. There are three other fabric patterns available - I just happen to like the herringbone pattern of this one from the Hideaway Collection. You can grab it at internet retailer Every Hammock.com. Do a search on “Pawley’s Island hammock chair” to see all the styles. And from now through Saturday July 18th  Friday August 1st, shipping is free! So if you’d like to buy a quality hammock chair for yourself to sit outdoors and sip your fave beverage, check out the cushioned single swing hammock chair - by Pawley’s Island.

UPDATE: Free shipping has been extended through August 1st. Don’t miss out on the deal!

Dura Cord Hammocks: Cotton Soft Yet Weather Resistant

July 31st, 2007    Subscribe To Our Feed

Dura cord hammocks are rope hammocks made of a special synthetic yarn called DuraCord®. DuraCord is manufactured to have the feel of cotton with the durability and weather resistance of polyester. It is so similar to cotton in look and feel that it is said to have fooled textile experts. A dura cord hammock is excellent and highly sought-after as an outdoor hammock because of its outstanding weather resistance. In fact the yarn was originally created for hammock manufacturing. DuraCord yarn has added UV ray stabilizers that resist colorfading, and built-in anti-microbials that block rot, mold and mildew.

A major problem in using hammocks outdoors is that many of them simply can’t endure being left outside for extended periods of time without deteriorating.  Cotton hammocks are most comfortable but are the most prone to mildew, rot and color fading. Hammocks woven from other synthetics can feel abrasive and uncomfortable. A DuraCord hammock’s color will not fade in sunlight because the color is manufactured into the very fibers. DuraCord will not absorb water; instead it carries water away from the body for a cooling effect, which means hammocks made from the yarn are quick drying (good for pool areas) and stain resistant. DuraCord resists abrasion and rough wear, yet maintains its soft feel and texture. Cleaning is easy – simply wash as needed with mild soap and water. DuraCord is also available as a woven textile fabric used in outdoor and indoor furniture, including fabric hammocks, outdoor cushions and rugs.

If you are looking for a classic rope hammock such as the Pawley’s Island style pictured above, that is truly weather resistant, make sure that it is a DuraCord hammock.
