SUNCREAT Traditional Rope Double Hammock

Overview

Hung from chains rather than a pole, this traditional rope double hammock pairs 55 inch hardwood spreader bars with a 450 pound capacity and 3-ply twisted cotton rope.

This is the classic woven rope hammock rather than a fabric bed, and Suncreat's pitch is thicker rope, 30 percent thicker than an earlier version, plus 22 suspension cords per end for even weight distribution across two people. Since no stand ships with it, where and how it hangs depends on having two trees the right distance apart or buying a compatible stand separately.

• 450 lb capacity, 78.7 x 55.1 inch bed
• 55 inch hardwood spreader bars
• 3-ply cotton rope, 22 cords per end
• 13.1 feet total length with steel chains

Who it's for

Buyers who already have two trees to hang between, or plan to pair it with a stand purchased separately, and prefer the breathable, classic look of woven rope over a solid fabric hammock bed. Less convenient for anyone wanting an out-of-the-box, stand-included setup.

Pros and cons

Performance notes

The 3-ply twisted cotton rope and 22 suspension cords per end are meant to spread a sleeper's weight evenly across the bed rather than concentrating it at a few strands, and the mesh weave is designed to ventilate against a sweaty back. The 55 inch hardwood spreader bars use countersunk holes where the rope passes through, aimed at reducing rope-on-wood friction over repeated use, and 11.6 inch steel chains at each end bring total hanging length to 13.1 feet.
