Pawleys Island was the first hammock manufacturing company in the United States. As it was in 1889, this hammock continues to be hand-woven in the same tradition. Every United States President since Truman has received a Pawleys Island Hammock as a gift from South Carolina Senator Strom Thurmond.
Originally designed using a continuous latched weave with steam-bent wooden spreader bars, this style and design is still in use today, representing a tradition and lifestyle typical of Southern plantation days over a century ago. The rope is hand-woven with an intricate macramé clew-end. The steel hardware is coated with weather-resistant zinc plating. Each hammock includes everything you need for a tree or post installation including (2) tree hooks and chain/hook assemblies.

About Pawleys Island
In 1889, the Original Pawleys Island Rope Hammock© was created at Pawleys Island, one of the oldest summer resorts on the South Carolina coast. When river boat pilot Captain Joshua John Ward found the grass-filled mattresses on his boat too hot in the summer, he decided to make a cool and comfortable cotton rope hammock to use on his boat. After several uncomfortable designs, Cap'n Josh made a hammock using wooden spreaders without knots. This original design has proven to be so comfortable, that it's still used in Pawleys Island's popular hammocks, over a century later.

Pawleys Island continues to use the highest quality materials when making their traditional all-cotton rope, spun polyester rope, and DuraCord® hammocks. Their custom-designed stretcher bars are cut from seasoned Carolina red oak, then steamed, bent, drilled, sanded, and varnished to impart a comfortable sway to the hammock and to spread the rope evenly for optimum stability.
