Pawleys Island Rope Hammock Helps You Relax In Your Backyard
By Joel F Morningstar
When you imagine a hammock, you often picture someone lying under
billowing trees sipping on a frosty glass of iced tea. Pawleys
Island Hammocks is partly responsible for creating this image.
Founded in the southern United States by a sailor, this hammock
company is renowned for the quality and comfort of their products.
Grass Filled Tick Mattress
The Pawleys Island Rope Hammock originated in South Carolina
in 1889 by a riverboat pilot named Captain Joshua Ward. Finding
his grass filled tick mattress too hot to sleep on, Ward decided
to design a bed that was cool and airy.
It took several tries, but he eventually came up with a design
that suited his needs. The result was the hammock. The invention
made Ward a rich man, and made millions of people happy. The design
has been modified over the years into what we know as garden hammocks,
hammock chairs and air chairs.
Lying In Comfort With Soft Spun Polyester
Technology and the development of durable synthetic fibers have
made Pawleys products even more popular. While you can still purchase
the original cream colored rope hammocks, you can also get the
soft spun polyester variety that stands up better to the ravages
of direct sunshine, mold and mildew causing moisture, and insects.
Two layers of durable Duracord fabric are quilted together and
filled with a soft polyester fiber-fill for maximum cushioned
comfort. The Duracord fabric offers the highest level of UV protection
in the industry.
Sizes Range From Single To Oversized Models
There are also luxurious quilted fabric hammocks and a wide range
of stands and hammock accessories to choose from. The hammocks
are available in a wide range of sizes to fit a single person
or oversized models that can hold several people.
Craftsmanship is what makes the Pawleys hammocks famous. Their
flagship product features custom designed stretcher bars cut from
seasoned hardwood, which are then 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 and coated with a polyurethane varnish for long outdoor
wear.
Relaxing In Comfort
If you’d like to bring a touch of the south to your home or cottage,
a Pawleys Island rope hammock is a must. Their reputation is impeccable,
and this company has helped to make hammocks the symbol of garden
or waterside comfort and relaxation.
You can review your options from traditional hanging cots to
chairs with modern styles and colors, you’ll be able to
find furnishings to suit any decor. Even if you can’t make
it to South Carolina, Pawleys products can be found at distributors
all over the world and on the Internet.
By going with Pawleys, you’ll have a little bit of history in
your own backyard.
