Parachute Nylon Camping Hammock

Lightweight single hammock for sleeping off a cold floor or damp ground
£8.99 + £2.40 delivery
Delivery is charged per product because each item ships directly from its supplier, so items can arrive separately. Estimated delivery 10-20 working days. Tracked.

A lightweight parachute-nylon single hammock with tree straps. It packs into a small bag and gets you off a cold or wet floor. Handy for camping, but also a way to sleep off a damp floor in an emergency.

This is an estimate: Banggood lists a parachute hammock (IPRee, 270 x 140 cm) but showed no price, and UK retail prices were GBP 24+ for branded ones, so confirm a supplier and its weight rating.

Key features

  • Parachute nylon
  • Packs small
  • Tree straps
  • Single sleeper
  • Dries quickly
  • Light

How to use it

You hang the hammock between two strong trees with the tree straps and lie in it, off the cold or wet ground.

  1. Find two healthy trees about a few metres apart, with no dead branches overhead.
  2. Wrap a tree strap around each trunk at about head height and clip the hammock onto it.
  3. Adjust the height and tension so the hammock hangs with a gentle curve.
  4. Check the knots, buckles and straps are secure, and test with a slow, low sit before putting full weight on it.
  5. Lie in it diagonally for a flatter lie, and keep a mat or blanket under you for warmth.
  6. Undo it, shake it out, dry it and pack it away.
Tips
  • Keep it low until you trust the setup.
  • Underneath insulation matters because cold air reaches your back through the nylon.
  • Dries quickly, so shake it out and hang it to dry.
Safety and limits
  • The weight rating is not stated on the listing, so do not assume it will take more than one person.
  • Check trees and straps carefully, and hang low to reduce fall injuries; avoid use by children without supervision.
  • Do not use near a fire.
Please note
  • Check rated weight and anchor strength before use
  • Not a replacement for a heated bed in a cold house
  • Use sturdy anchors only
