5 tips for keeping your hammock for a long time

1. Buy a quality hammock: An authentic hammock!

From a specialist who only sells hammocks and hammock chairs (like Hamacs Du Globe Trotteur with its 20 years of experience)
They come from Mexico, Guatemala, El Salvador, Colombia, Brazil, Bolivia or Venezuela, ...
These are hammocks woven using ancestral techniques with top quality materials and a high thread count.

In Guatemala and El Salvador the best hammocks have 3000 threads for a medium and 4500 threads for an XL, the number of threads is important for its resistance to weight and years.
Weavers primarily manufacture for local consumption, because in these countries everyone has their own hammock for 10 to 20 years, or even their entire life.
A quality hammock does not mean an expensive hammock, you can find very simple hammocks of very good quality for around €50

2. Maintain the hangers

Usually, it is the hammock suspensions that wear out first.

Make the strings last longer

• 
  To avoid friction, if the handles are directly on a hook, add heart thimbles, metal or plastic reinforcements, which you can easily buy in a DIY store or a ship chandler.
  


• 
  Never tie a global knot on your lines, but shorten them individually.
