Using this hammock is really easy. First, find a flat and open outdoor space. Then, assemble the stand. Thanks to the six height adjustment holes, you can set the height according to your preference. Once the stand is ready, hang the hammock on it. You and a friend can then lie back and enjoy the relaxation. When it comes to maintenance, keep the hammock clean by gently wiping it with a damp cloth. If it gets dirty, you can hand - wash it in cool water. For the steel stand, check it regularly for any signs of rust. If you notice some, use a rust - remover to clean it. When not in use, store the hammock and stand in a dry place, and put them in the included carry bag for easy storage and transport. Be careful not to overload the hammock, as its static weight capacity is 450 lbs. Avoid placing it in direct sunlight for long periods to prevent the colors from fading.
