Widely regarded as premier hammocks, these are built to exacting standards. Fabrics and ropes are constructed with materials designed for many years of use and colorfastness. They resist mildew, rot, and staining. Hatteras Hammocks uses heavy-duty zinc hardware, far superior to other types on the market. Ample spreader bars are constructed from South American cumaru, which resists rotting and weathers wonderfully. Award-winning Roman Arc stands are crafted from southern cypress, and for precision binding, a radio frequency gluing system is used.
