With a touch of modern flair, the Gateway Indigo Large Quilted Hammock will transform the look of your backyard, and the way you think about relaxing. Two layers of Sunbrella fabric create a hammock that won't fade in the sun, stain, mold, mildew, or rot, all while being easy to clean. It's the ultimate worry-free hammock - ready for you to relax on whenever you need those few moments to yourself.
To create a bed that's large enough for two adults we used Cumaru spreader bars. Starting as a warm brown and slowly aging to a unique silvery-grey with time, Cumaru is some of the hardest, most dense wood on the planet, allowing you to have a worry-free hang. To hang your hammock we've provided zinc-plated steel hanging hardware. Strong and stylish, it provides a secure way to hang your quilted hammock from either trees or hammock stands, meaning you never have to worry about your hammock collapsing with you in it.
So what are you waiting for? Transform your backyard with the Gateway Indigo quilted hammock and start relaxing today, a cool drink in your hand and the sun on your face, your worries melting away.
Durable Fabrics
Not only is the craftsmanship of our hammocks the highest level of quality, but we also choose the highest quality outdoor fabrics as well. We use a combination of Sunbrella® Fabric and our in-house brand DURACORD® Fabric. Sunbrella branded fabric is the foremost fabric in the outdoor industry made from 100% solution dyed acrylic. Solution-dyed acrylic, which means the fibers of the fabric are dyed in color before they are woven into the fabric. Sunbrella is not printed or dyed after the fabric is made. Sunbrella® is water resistant and will not fade. You can even soak it in bleach and the color will remain the same. Which is why to use Sunbrella® fabric on the tops of our hammocks. We use the DURACORD® Fabric on the bottom of our Fabric Hammocks because has better abrasion resistance than Sunbrella.
DURACORD® Rope
Our own proprietary solution-dyed synthetic blend of rope, DURACORD®, blends the softness of cotton with the durability of polyester. Made in the Carolinas, this combination yields a rope that has excellent color steadfastness and superior feel. DURACORD® is dyed when spun, producing a rope that is colored all the way through. This hammock combines classic rope design with the exceptional durability of DURACORD® material, offering the soft feel of cotton with unmatched resilience against fading, mold, and mildew. Our DURACORD® rope is the densest rope on the hammock market at 85 ft./lb., this results in less stretching and increased support when relaxing in your hammock.
Cumaru Spreader Bar
A Brazilian hardwood similar to teak, Cumaru, is 5 times harder and denser than pine, cedar, and redwood. Exclusive to Hatteras Hammocks, our Cumaru hardwood has a history of outstanding outdoor performance. Even after years of use, our Cumaru hardwood ages naturally to a beautiful silver grey without losing any of its durability. Our Cumaru Spreader bars are a full 1 inch thick, compared to most other competitor’s spreader bars that measure at ⅞ inch. A thicker spreader bar allows more holes for rope, allowing the hammock bed to sit firmly on the hammock. Our spreader bars also feature countersink drilled holes. Countersink drilling is a technique that uses a trumpet drill bit that produces a hole with no hard angles, allowing the rope to pass through without any sharp edges to wear the rope.
Rolled Rim Grommets
We are very particular with every aspect of our hammocks even down to the grommets on all our fabric hammocks. Every grommet we use has tiny spurs on the back of the connecting washer forcing part of the fabric into the lip of the grommet itself, creating a more secure bond. We have also experimented with making the fabric around the grommet stronger by sewing an “X” on the fabric before placing the grommet, by adding that extra stitching it gives those tiny spurs more fabric to grip onto. The industry standard, however, is the telescoping grommet, which our testing has shown rips lose from fabric before the rolled-rim grommet every time.
Hardware
We plate all our hanging hardware with Zinc Plated Coating, including both tree hooks that come standard with our hammocks. The zinc plated coating prevents the accumulation of rust and ensures a longer outdoor life. Our very own One-piece ring-knot and chain, a product of years of development, permanently attaches the chain to the O-ring. This produces a hammock that is more durable and most importantly makes it impossible to lose the chain.
Non-absorbent Padding
Each of our Quilted Hammocks is filled with a non-absorbent polyester fiberfill batting that is sewn in between the two layers of fabric. The filling adds a pillow-like softness to the already comfortable fabric hammock. The fiberfill is a nonabsorbent material allowing water to drain through and provide quick drying.
