Why You Should Buy a Hammock and Stand from a Specialist Supplier Like Hammocks Australia

October 04, 2024 2 min read

When shopping for a hammock and stand it’s natural to be tempted by the low cost big box stores that offer cheap hammock and stand packages. However, there are several benefits to buying from a specialist supplier, like Hammocks Australia, that you might not get elsewhere:

1. Custom Sizing and Fit: Large retailers often sell just one size of hammock and stand in a package that is often smaller in size and cheaply made. This can be convenient and easy on the pocket, but when the hammock needs replacing, generally these are not available to purchase separately and finding a hammock to fit from another retailer can prove difficult. 

We see this a lot, where customers contact us to replace the hammock and find out that, even our smallest single size hammocks are too large for the stands. As a result they can spend a lot of time and effort trying to track down a specific sized hammock that is not readily available. As a specialist hammock retailer, we offer a variety of properly sized stands that can accommodate a wide range of hammocks, providing flexibility if you need a replacement.



2. Replacement Parts Availability: Big stores may not stock replacement hammocks, leaving you to buy an entirely new package if yours wears out. At Hammocks Australia, you can always get a replacement hammock, allowing you to swap out just the fabric without having to repurchase a hammock and stand package - saving money over the long run and reducing waste. 

3. Superior Quality: As a speciality hammock store we tend to focus on quality, offering a variety of materials and designs from the best hammock makers in the world in Mexico and Colombia to ensure you will enjoy the best in hammock comfort and quality. As specialists we can offer personalised service, advice on care, and the right products for your needs.

5. Expert Advice: We are passionate about hammocks and can offer expert advice on choosing the right product, installation, and maintenance. Our guidance can make a significant difference in finding the perfect hammock setup for your space to ensure you are as comfortable and relaxed as possible, now and for years to come!
