Patio Watcher 14 FT Quick Dry Hammock with Double Size Solid Wood Spreader Bar Outdoor Patio Yard Poolside Beach Hammock with Chains, Waterproof and UV Resistance, 2 Person 450 Pound Capacity

This hammock is more than what I wanted. The quality is great. I am in love with the color. It is also very comfortable and it can fit two people. I don't leave it outside when is raining so I couldn’t tell you if it is water resistant or not.

Weak point are the wood spreaders. They rot out in less then 2 years. Rest of the hammock more durableI would suggest replacing the wood spreaders with a PVC or Plastic version as the wood spreaders rot out within 18 months of exposure to the elements. I'm now going to replace the wooden spreaders with 2" PVC pipes cut and drilled to match. It's a shame this hammock material and rope last much better but the wood selected for the spreaders is very poor durability.

It is as described. It is a good size and I like that, due to the wood, it always lies flat. The material feels plastic-like but not uncomfortable. I consider it a good purchase.

I’ve slipped a couple times which can be dangerous on a hammock, but that’s just a precaution I will need for this material that has been super durable and easy to clean. So far so good!

Whatever the rope is made out could use an upgrade, it has a lot of stretch so it curves and lowers to the ground easily, had two strings become damaged, one was rather quickly. The hammock material itself is really nice and sturdy feeling but very taught so skill is needed to to flip.

Update after 1 summer: I still think this is a nice hammock, however after one summer of having it there appears to be mildew/dirt all over it. I just tried power washing it and it helped a little, however I wasn’t able to get it back to “like new”condition. Not sure if this would be a good choice for someone who lives in a highly humid area. There isn’t any reason it couldn’t have dried naturally with where it was in our yard, so that’s a little disappointing. Maybe not a long term option.Love the material of this hammock. Will definitely dry quickly and seems like it will wear well. I didn’t have any issues with the ropes being broken upon arrival but they are a cotton material rather than nylon so not sure how they will hold up but I’m not overly concerned given the price point of the hammock. So far so good. I can’t speak to longevity since I’ve only had it a week but I’m happy so far! Will definitely store indoors during winter to eliminate additional wear and tear from the elements.

I want my investments to be safe and get the most bang for my buck. So, here’s why I chose “The Patio Watcher”.This is my third hammock from Amazon, the last two were made of quilted fabric and ripped among the spreader bars with moderate use (>160 lbs, less than two years outside). Other “luxury” hammocks split the spreader bar and charge $2500 for the softer durable material!!! This hammock is made of a tightly woven poly fabric similar to that of patio chairs. It’s not soft, but one could throw a quilted cotton cover over it if desired. The tie ropes look like a cheap cotton blend, they can be replaced, like my ex-husband, if need be.Since I am serious about my retirement plan, I also upgraded to a heavy duty curved stand since metal rusts do easily down here near the shoreline.I’m looking forward to many hours playing my flute while swinging in this hammock under the stars. <insert> Everybody’s Talkin’ at Me by Harry Nilsson

I have had this hammock for 6 years and it is still going strong. It gets a beating from my kids playing on it all the time with their friends and it has held up. I love this hammock. We do put it away for the winter.
