If left in California sun/rain, how long would the hammock last? I know it will fade/age with wear, but should it be removed when not in use?

We bring ours in when not using to insure longevity. We Love it! Perfect for two people.

I've had mine for 2.5 summers and the top of the cover is falling apart on the half I use most of the summer. The other half that only gets used in the spring and fall is still in good shape. I'm in northern California.

It looks like hundreds (and hundreds) of cotton threads woven tightly, but can expand to a large surface area. Extreeeemely comfortable and supportive, but I wouldn't let it sit outside overnight as I believe wetness might eventually damage the fibers. It's light enough that I can put it out every day and take it in at night (the straps stay in place)...just like they do in Cancun. I hope this helps - this hammock has been my favorite summer purchase.

My cloth ripped late last summer & I have been looking for a simple replacement with no luck...the frame is in great shape and I don't want to spend the money for a new hammock if I don't have to. Any help would be appreciated.

I left it out in the rain few times. if its sunny or windy, it dried completely in a few hours. If stays damp out, much much longer. But I have habit to not leave it out side. will last 10x longer if you don't let the sun eat it up or the rain.

The weather my friend, the weather. Will your placement of the sail be in the sun most of the day, more than likely. Also, the wind factor has much to do with it as well. So, it is any ones guess to how long it will last. Enjoy the time you have with it, mother nature will do the rest.

It should last atleast 6 mos in summer sun. It frays with wind blowing. Amazon provides excellent warranty support

I have mine in a screened enclosure under a roof, but it still gets wet in a hard windy rain and I live in Florida where the summer are HOT and HUMID. I washed my hammock in the bath tub after Spring pollen stopped falling by soaking in warm water with a mild detergent, then rinsing with the hand shower. I have had my hammock since March 2013 and I am pleased with how it has performed in our climate. No hammock lasts forever here, but I suspect this one will last me at least 2 or three years. My former hammock was made of nylon string and it started to disintegrate, covering everything that got in it (my cats included) with fine nylon dust. This is probably WAY more than you wanted to know, but I hope it was helpful. :)

Reddish Mahogany color, stained. It won't wear well in time since I leave mine out for months in the weather. BUT, the hammock is great - much more comfortable than my previous rope one this replaced (when the wood bars rotted after several years of weather). Very tight, not saggy, did I say comfortable - very.

We live in upstate NY and take it down. I've read other reviews where people leave it up. General consensus seems to be that it'll last longer if stored away out of harsh elements.

Hi Boris, It's a very nice piece of furniture, I have had outside for five months under my lanai and it has held up very well. I use it to keep towels in for the pool. It gets direct sunlight from sunrise until about 11am and has not faded at all. I hope this helps you.

We have had no issue with the material being too warm and we live in Florida. It gets quite hot here and as long as we have had the hammock we have never felt that it was too hot. With our weather we always bring the hammock in before we go to sleep. It still looks and feels brand new.

Best camping hammock ever. Use a sleeping bag, if too warm sleep on it instead of in it. First tried a Hennessy, tore up first trip. Have used the Clark for about 10 yearsw now, good as new. Just as nice in Louisiana swamps as in the Ozarks.

Not sure on mildew, but most definitely NOT fade resistant, I live in SC and keep the hammock outside maybe half the time....not nearly the color it was new...but there is no mildew smell or staining and it has been out through several storms

I leave mine up at times and take it down when real bad weather..........sometime I leave it up during rain. Holds up very well but if you leave it out for long, heavy weather times, it will show use. Still, even if I replace every 3-4 years, great net!!!! maybe wash it down if it gets soiled.

Put it in the sun for an hour or two. It is supposed to last two years this way.
