Can you prepare my hammock for first use?Yes we certainly can! We prepare your new Hennessy Hammock for the first use, so that you can sleep wonderfully without any worries. What we do for you: * Check the hammock and Rainfly and check and tighten all rope and bungee cord knots. * Install and attach SnakeSkins. If you have chosen to order a second set of SnakeSkins for your Rainfly, we will of course do that for you too! * Install larger webbing straps to your hammock. (You can order them separately in our webshop) * Install handy guy line tensioners on your Rainfly. * Adjust open cell foam pad to your favorite lying direction (Right Lay) The foam pad is wider at the torso part and narrower at the foot end. By default, Hennessy Hammock is in a right-lay. You then lie diagonally with your left ear against the outside of the hammock and your right foot on the zipper side. I prefer to sleep with my head on the zipper side, because then I can make delicious coffee without having to get out of my warm sleeping bag. Do you want the zipper next to your head too? We can then turn over the insulating foam pad for you, so that you can immediately dive into your warm hammock! Note 1: when laying in the hammock, if your feet are to the right of the ridgeline, you are in a Right Lay. If your feet are left of the ridgeline, you are in a Left Lay. Note 2: You cannot return the hammock and other used products afterwards, because they have been removed from the original packaging and used. Want to add this extra service to your order? Add "Preparing your hammock for first use." to your shopping card. Cost €24,95 per hammockset.

What kind of lashing does Tom Hennessy recommend to tie up the hammock?If you learn this lashing you'll never have a jammed knot, your ropes will last a long time, and you'll save time. Wrap webbing straps one or more times around the tree and bring loops together in line with the opposite tree. Pass rope ends through webbing loops. Adjust the hammock until it is centered and the ridge line is level and under light tension. Wrap the loose rope end completely around the tensioned support rope and then drop rope end down into the space between the webbing loops and the tree. Tighten any slack in the lashing. Repeat lashing at least three more times in this "figure 8" pattern and tie it off with two half hitches leaving at least 6"/15 cm of rope. Entrance should be at chair height under tension of your weight.
