Or another such "f" word that Woot won't allow.

Eight websites, new beta deals, and no hammock stands? I'm surprised and a bit disappointed.

I have two posts under the house that are 10'4" apart would that work? I found aside that said minimum was 13 but I know many times you can vary from what's printed.

It actually dates back to July 31, 1995! Sadly, there's just not a lot of hammock-related humor out there.

I believe it is Pawleys Island with an "S". Just Sayin

I agree. I don't think these are actual Pawley's hammocks. I've been seriously shopping for one for a while, became excited when I saw this on woot, but alas I'm not going to buy it because Pawley's weather resistance material is called DuraCord, not 'WeatherSmart'. Plus, Pawley's colors have different names than what is listed for these. Sorry woot, but not only am I not buying this one but I think that I have lost a little respect for you until you can prove to me that these are genuine pawley's hammocks. Oh, and the real stuff IS made 100% in the USA.

A search for weathersmart hammock will bring you to a hammock on Amazon made by Castaway, are they a subsidiary of Pawley? A less expensive line?

I believe these are the "Castaway" by Pawley's Island hammocks. Sold through Sears, etc. I have perfect confidence that Woot! would not throw the Pawley name out there if they were not and since I need a new hammock and have the perfect tree spacing, I'm in for one. Just can't decide on the color.

I've got a real hang-up about these.

I seriously doubt W00tazon would fake a brand name. They're too big to get away with that. I imagine it's the Pawley's Island off-brand. That being said, the off-brand may not be the same quality. Just sayin'

Would love to get one of these for dh for fd. But sadly our trees were taken out by hurricane wilma and those stands are crazy expensive!

As long as your going with the pseudo-Pawley's Island hammock, why not save a few bucks and go for the stand to match?

Eeeks! Complaining about a 350 lb weight limit?!?!? Kinda scary....these are probably the same people that are afraid of the weight limits in elevators. I have one of these and no probs with it.

Their site is promoting DuraCord not WeatherSmart. Unless Pawleys Island is discontinuing this line, these are knock offs from China.

Castaway by Pawley's Island Captains Deluxe model.

yeah, im from sc, pawley singular and not pawley's plural is a red flag

I agree; solid nylon-based hammocks (such as the popular ENO Single Nest and Double Nest) are far more comfortable when hung right. Plus far more durable.

Correct. It is Pawleys Island, with an 's', without an apostrophe.

here's something else to make it easier to decide:


http://www.hayneedle.com/product/originalpawleysislandduracordhammock.cfm

dimensions are same, but weight limit is not (old/new model?). i'll trust the specs on this one to be 350 and pass.

Where do you plug this in?

$89.99 specs seem to match

Not much of a poster, hope I got the link right :/

I bought one of these with the stand included for $129 some years ago and it held up wonderfully well. Hard to get into without tipping...just sayin'.

I can't believe that it isn't sold out given how many wooters have a home on a lake with two trees that just happen to be the perfect distance apart overlooking the water to install one of these!

Can i make love in this hammock - to my frosty beverage that is..

You can get a much sweeter, fold out hammock on Amazon for the same price

You can find a stud in the wall to hang it, or buy a stand. These spreader bar hammocks give hammocks a bad name though..

Whatever you do, don't tell my wife there are studs inside the walls! I'll be repairing sheetrock until she finds a tall athletic one to her liking...

I don't think its a Pawley Island. Seems to be the hammocks by Captains Line or Castaways. see http://hammockcompany.comor do google search for weathersmart hammock.

I suppose if you're into that sort of thing!

Aldi is currently selling identical (but off brand) hammocks INCLUDING METAL STAND for $79. They are top quality, two-person sized and rated for 450 pounds. I highly recommend going to Aldi if you have one nearby.

I have two hammocks from Annashammocks dot com. After I got the first one, my daughter would bogart it all the time, so I got another. At $45 shipped, they are faboo!

These do appear to be Pawley's Island. They are on their website . . . if you search for 'WeatherSmart" on the site, you will find them in all the same colors and for $129 - just as woot lists.

I don't see them on the official Pawleys Island site, but they do appear to be the "Castaway by Pawleys Island" hammocks that are sold through big retailers.

Don't have any details on what the difference is with the sub-brand, though.

And yes, it's "Pawleys Island" with no apostrophe. Looks like the text on the product page has been corrected, but this thread title and the first post have not.

In the Mexican style hammock, I'm able to lay completely flat and be most comfortable by laying in horizontally. Mexican hammocks are best for napping...the only reason I don't sleep all night long in it is my toe gets caught in the holes.

Nylon is probably best for outside. 100% cotton is most comfortable for me. People say that the most comfortable and highest quality hammocks in the mayan style for under $100 are from http://www.hammocksrada.com/
Handmade in the Yucatan by fat native women, so shipping is high.

I grew up in Pawley Island. These Hammocks are the best. Trust me.

Plus, note that the warrenty is through Hammock Source, a hammock distributor, NOT Pawley Island. I would be very leery.

LOL, I live on Pawleys Island.

And it is Pawleys, not Pawley.

And they stopped making them here several years ago, they still have the name but the now make them in a third world country.
