Gorgeous Day For Freediving and sleeping in a hammock tent[/caption] Watch a great 15 minute video review of the Lawson Hammock Tent being put together. The folks from Lawson Hammock kindly put together assembly instructions which should only take a few minutes once you’ve found hammockable trees.
Your Hammock Tent already comes with:
- Hammock with Collapsed Spreader Bars
- Arch Poles
- Rainfly/Tarp
At each end of the unrolled hammock, join spreader bar halves. Make sure ropes are not tangled or twisted. Check all knots on ropes attached to hammock bed for tightness. Ropes may stretch with use, requiring occasional re-tightening.
Hang hammock between two trees or sturdy upright objects using Tree Huggers (sold on our website) or rope/webbing as shown. Attach hanging rope at hammock end loop with a bowline or other strong knot, and wrap rope at least once around tree before reattaching to hammock end loop with another bowline (see detail above). NOTE: Tie 3–4’ off ground, keeping rope & hammock taut.
Once hammock is hung, fit together the two shock-corded aluminum arch poles and slide one through each sleeve on top of hammock. Insert end of each pole through grommet as shown (detail A). Attach snap hooks on elastic cords at ends of hammock to tops of arch poles (detail B). Shorten elastic if necessary to keep canopy tight.
To use rainfly, extend over hammock, attaching hooks at each end to hammock end loops (detail A). Attach snap hooks at rainfly corners to adjacent hammock ropes (B). Fit elastic loops on rainfly sides around bottoms of arch poles (C). Attach Velcro tabs on rainfly sides to Velcro tabs on hammock bottom. Rainfly will appear loose when hammock is empty. If tightening is necessary, attach snap hooks from B farther in on hammock ropes, or knot elastic cord from A. Rather do a BIVY setup? Follow the above instructions but do not hang, (#2). Instead, use stakes to stretch & secure both ends of hammock to ground as shown. Continue with steps #3–4.
Additional notes for #HammockSafety:
- Always open net door completely before entering. Sit in the middle of the hammock with both feet on ground. Carefully swing feet in and lie down. Reverse steps to exit. Never step or jump in.
- The bowline knots recommended for tying your hammock ropes tighten with use, but may be slightly loose when hammock is new or hasn’t been used recently. Before you enter the hammock, always check knots and tighten ropes as necessary.
- One person at a time in the hammock — weight limit 250 lbs.
- Don’t leave children unattended in the hammock. This is not a toy; children should use the hammock only with adult supervision.
- Keep hammock away from fire or flame. Parts of the hammock have been treated with fire retardant, but the hammock & rainfly will burn if kept in contact with flame or high heat source.
- If using the hammock in colder temperatures, attach the rain fly to help contain body heat. For added insulation, secure a sleeping bag or emergency blanket to the hammock floor.
- To protect trees, wrap your hanging rope around several times
Caring for your Hammock Tent:
- Your Blue Ridge Camping Hammock has been seam sealed, and the rainfly, buffer zone and bottom are urethane coated. Check every season that the seams are still sealed; apply additional sealer if necessary. Seam sealing is made easier by hanging the hammock to reach all inside seams. Be sure to liberally coat all areas of higher stress, such as the head and foot of hammock.
- Before putting away, be sure that both the hammock and rainfly are dry and free of debris. Store in a dry place away from heat. Do not store on concrete, which contains chemicals that can harm the hammock fabric and its finish.
- Avoid contact with substances that can compromise the fabric & coating, such as solvents, hair & insect spray, fruit juices, etc.
- To clean, hand wash with mild soap and rinse well with clean water. Do not use strong detergents or wash in a machine.
- Lubricate the zipper with silicone if necessary. Do not attempt to force a jammed zipper — this could ruin the zipper tab as well as the fabric. Keep the tab clean and free of dirt or sand.
- If the taffeta should rip, use a rip-stop repair tape to patch. Seam sealer will close small holes. Discontinue use if grommets come out — hammock bed could rip.
- Do not hang gear from, sit on, or otherwise add weight or stress to the spreader bars, as they may break.
