Texsport Padre Island Hammock

Comment: I didn't want to pay alot, and I didn't. Ended up with what I expected. It's light weight and I expect it won't stand up to much use, but I was looking for something more visual than functional-i.e. we don't lie on it, it just looks nice out in the yard.

Comment: Had the Hammock for two weeks and already broke one of the support strings. Hammock string is very cheap. Don't waste your time or money on this one!

Comment: Wish I had believed the other poor reviews of this hammock and kept looking.

I wanted a one-person replacement hammock, to fit my metal hammock stand.
This does fit, which is the only positive I can give it.
This hammock is VERY cheaply made--the cotton rope it's made of is flimsy and thin. I seriously doubt it would hold up for even one season.

And, even worse, this thin rope stretches like crazy. So no matter how tightly I hung the hammock on the stand, it sagged so badly that it was difficult to get out of.

My old cotton hammock was of much better quality cotton rope. Maybe I'll just buy some lengths of clothesline and re-string it. Anything would be better than this Padre Island Hammock.

Comment: Previously owned Seaview Hammock by same company and since the Padre Island Hammock was rated for my hammock stand and the weight limit was not an issue, I went with the cheaper one. The Padre Island Hammock lasted a grand total of 4 weeks before one of the ropes snapped. It wasn't much of a deal at all.

Comment: We wanted a hammock for our kids tree shack and didn't want to spend a lot of money. Problem with this one is the strings seperate and create large holes the kids fall through. I have a hard time myself, but for the price we paid I guess it's worth it. Otherwise it seems durable.
