Think of hammocks and you automatically think of extra-wide porches, large-leafed palm trees, and stunning sunsets. Create the ultimate vacation experience at home with Pawleys Island Hammocks, the original rope hammock, made by craftsmen in South Carolina.
The first Pawleys island rope hammock was created by Captain Joshua John Ward, a river boat pilot who ran a barge between the South Carolina coast and Pawleys Island, a popular summer resort. Not finding the grass-filled mattress to his liking, he weaved a hammock out of cotton rope he had lying around the boat. More than 100 years later, Pawleys Island hammocks are still being made the same way, at the hands of skilled craftsmen and women who take pride and care in the product they create.
The classic Pawleys island rope hammock comes in several different materials. The traditional cotton rope hammock is not much different than it was made a century ago. Their cotton polyester rope hammock is a maintenance-free hammock and won’t age like true cotton. Duracord® is their newest fabric, designed to be colorfast and fade resistant, yet as soft as cotton. Available in several colors, the Pawleys Duracord® hammock is also made with ultra violet (UV) inhibitors and anti-microbial enhancements.
All of Pawleys rope hammocks are constructed with a woven body connected to strong plaited ends and strung through oak stretcher bars. Nautical bow-line knots attach the ends to the body. These ultra-strong hammocks can support up to 450 lbs. and all have the manufacturer metal tag, a sign of authenticity from Captain Ward himself.
Outdora also carries Pawleys comfort hammocks including the Pawleys Island Trellis Stripe Quilted Fabric Hammock for those wanting a hammock experience without the “rope” feel. The Pawleys Island Portland Dots Quick Dry Comfort Hammock is a perfect choice for pool or beach areas. They may not be woven like a traditional rope hammock, but they’re secured the same way.
Pawleys Island Woodlands Beaches Cushioned Hammock Chair is for those that want the hammock experience sitting up. Soft, comfortable fabric conforms to the body while the trademark rope suspension design is a true Pawley original.
Pawleys also makes a rocker like no other. Both single and double designs are made with cotton polyester rope, weather-resistant cushion for head and seat, solid oak finished with marine varnish. These rockers are not only extremely comfortable but also built to last outdoors on a porch or balcony for years.
