The Ultimate Island Rope Hammock
See more in Gardening Methods
The Pawleys Island rope hammock is known as the sturdiest, most durable and well-made hammock available. The company also has a rich history with a fascinating founder surrounded by folklore. Pawleys was established more than one hundred years ago in South Carolina and has helped to make the hammock the universal symbol of relaxation. In this article, we’ll look at the fascinating history of this hammock company and the unique products that they make.
The Pawleys Island rope hammock originated in South Carolina in 1889 by a riverboat pilot named Captain John Joshua Ward. During the hot southern nights, Captain Ward found his grass filled tick mattress too hot to sleep on, so he set out to design a bed that was cool and airy. After several failed attempts, he eventually came up with a design that suited his needs. The result was the hammock. The invention made Ward a rich man and a legend to the locals. His original design has been modified over the years into what we know as garden hammocks, hammock chairs and air chairs.
Technology and the development of durable synthetic fibers have made Pawleys products even more popular. The original creamy white rope hammocks remain popular, but you can also get the soft spun polyester variety. Polyester is more resistant to sun fading, mold and mildew causing moisture, and insect infestation. For extra luxury and comfort, you can get cloth hammocks filled with a soft polyester fiber-fill. The Duracord fabric offers the highest level of UV protection in the industry. The hammocks are available in a wide range of sizes to fit a single person or oversized models that can hold several people. All of Pawleys Island rope hammocks are designed to support 450 lbs. and come complete with rust resistant, heavy duty metallic hardware.
Craftsmanship is what makes the Pawleys Island products famous. Their flagship rope hammock features custom designed stretcher bars cut from seasoned hardwood, then they are steamed, bent, drilled, sanded and varnished. The rope body is hand sewn and marked with unique nautical bowline knots. This is the same weave design invented by Captain Josh Ward over a century ago. The support ropes are constructed of durable Duracord rope material and the spreader bars are made of solid oak coated with a polyurethane varnish for long outdoor wear. The products are also very versatile. These cozy beds can be used in the yard or taken along on camping trips, tied between two trees, or assembled with a stand.
Pawleys Island is a brand that is considered to be the oldest and most reliable manufacturer of hammocks in the United States. Their product designs are so stylish that they can be used either indoors or outdoors. Their products are easy to set up and use, and you simply cannot top the beauty of their design. With some beautiful hammock accessories, you’ll be able to create a stunning oasis of comfort with a Pawleys Island rope hammock.
