Ours has been hanging from two trees for almost 4 years and has not shown ANY signs of wear. The day it arrived, I laid the hammock out on the driveway and sprayed it with 2 cans of ScotchGuard. Also, there were at least two different fibers you could choose from when we ordered it. After speaking to a representative, we ordered the more expensive one that she recommended for Florida climates.

Thank you! That's a good tip.

We have found that L.L. Bean's line of hammocks hold up well in the South Florida climate. They are incredibly well-built and durable and, of course, L.L. Bean's history of accepting the return of any product for any reason makes them an even better choice. Hope this helps.

Thanks! I'm a big fan of LL Bean. I'll check them out.
