Using your Ferm Living Path Hammock is super easy. Just find a couple of sturdy anchor points, like trees or posts, and hang the hammock securely. Then, gently lie back and enjoy the calmness of the outdoors. When it comes to maintenance, keep it clean by gently brushing off any dirt or debris. If it gets really dirty, you can hand - wash it with mild soap and let it air - dry. Avoid leaving it out in extreme weather conditions for long periods to extend its lifespan. Also, make sure the anchor points are always strong and stable before using the hammock to ensure your safety. Remember, this hammock comes with a 30 - day return policy, so if you have any issues, you can reach out to us.
