Bamboo Hammock Stand Care and Maintenance

The bamboo stand is in its natural state. It has only been oiled (70% Tung and 30% Rosin mixture) for protection during transportation and storage. This protection will not be sufficient against the elements.

Your bamboo stand is crafted from raw bamboo due to its large size, which differs significantly from smaller bamboo items like spoons. Treating large bamboo structures is more complex and cannot be done in the same way as smaller items. As raw bamboo, your stand requires specific care and maintenance to withstand outdoor elements.

While smaller items can be made from heat-treated or carbonized bamboo, undergoing a process that enhances their durability, the large size of your stand makes this impractical. The cooking process removes much of the bamboo's natural starch content, making it less attractive to pests and more resistant to moisture. However, this process is not feasible for larger structures like your bamboo stand.

Maintaining your bamboo hammock stand is therefore essential to ensure its longevity and structural integrity. Bamboo, while robust and aesthetically pleasing, requires diligent care to withstand environmental elements, particularly humidity.

Initial Preparation and Installation: Before setting up your bamboo hammock stand, it’s crucial to stain it thoroughly. Pay special attention to the hidden parts of the stand, as these areas are prone to retaining moisture. A high-quality wood stain will create a protective barrier, preventing water absorption and reducing the risk of rot, mold, cracking, delamination, and glue deterioration. Ensure the stand rests on a dry, solid surface rather than directly on the grass, which can accelerate moisture buildup and deterioration.

Ongoing Maintenance: Re-staining your bamboo hammock stand annually is vital. Ideally, this should be done before the onset of the new season. Regularly inspecting the stand for signs of wear or moisture damage will help in early detection and preventive maintenance. The annual re-staining process should again prioritize the hidden parts, as these are less exposed to airflow and sunlight, making them more susceptible to moisture retention.

Surface mold on raw bamboo is common and can be easily removed without much effort when done in a timely matter. To remove surface mold on a raw bamboo structure, using 3% hydrogen peroxide is a safe and effective method to remove surface mold from your raw bamboo structure, helping to maintain its appearance and durability. Allow the hydrogen peroxide to sit on the surface for about 10-15 minutes. This gives it time to kill the mold spores. Using a soft brush or cloth to gently scrub the surface, to remove the mold.

Another option is to use a pressure washer. To remove mold from your bamboo stand using a pressure washer, first set the washer to a low-pressure setting to avoid damaging the bamboo. Hold the nozzle about 12 inches from the surface and gently spray the mold-affected areas. You can adjust pressure as needed within the bamboo stand tolerance. Move the nozzle in a sweeping motion to ensure even cleaning. Afterward, let the bamboo dry completely in a well-ventilated area. Staining the stand afterwards will go a long way.

Seasonal Storage: Proper seasonal storage significantly extends the life of your bamboo hammock stand. Before winter arrives, disassemble the stand, clean it and remove molds that could proliferate during storage and store it in a dry, sheltered location. Leaving the stand exposed to snow and freezing temperatures can cause severe damage, including cracking, warping, delamination and glue fragilization. Taking the stand apart for storage not only protects it from harsh weather but also provides an excellent opportunity to clean it and re-stain those crucial hidden areas, ensuring they remain well-protected.

For Those Who Cannot Take It Apart or Have Nowhere to Store It:

If disassembling the stand or finding storage space is not an option, there are still measures you can take to keep it extra dry during the long winter months under the snow:

1. Waterproof Covers:
• Invest in high-quality, waterproof cover furniture. Ensure the cover fits well and securely wraps around the entire stand to keep moisture out.
2. Elevate the Stand:
• Elevate the bamboo stand off the ground using blocks or a pallet. This prevents direct contact with snow and reduces the risk of moisture wicking up from the ground. Shovel accumulated snow around the stand to prevent build-ups.
3. Ventilation:
• Ensure there is some airflow under the cover to prevent condensation build-up. We want to prevent water from coming in while letting moisture out.
4. Regular Checks:
• Periodically check the stand during the winter months to ensure the cover remains secure and to wipe off any condensation that may have formed underneath.
5. Apply Protective Coatings:
• Before winter, apply an extra layer of protective stain to the bamboo to add an additional barrier against moisture.

By taking these precautions, you can help protect your bamboo hammock stand from the harsh winter elements, even if it cannot be disassembled or stored indoors.

Preventing Humidity Damage: Keeping humidity out is a primary goal.

What is to be expected from using your stand in the elements

Oxidation
An unprotected bamboo stand will allow oxidation on the surface. The bamboo stand will turn grey on the surface. Similar to what Cedar or any other wood would do.

Minor cracking
As with any organic material, minor cracking is to be expected when the bamboo contracts and expands in its new home backyard. The difference in the various climates we have across North America will affect how your bamboo stand reacts. Annual stain application over the bamboo stand will reduce water absorption and minimize cracking from expansion and contraction.

Delamination
Delamination is covered under our 1-year warranty when the stand was properly protected with a stain. This is especially rare but not impossible. Delamination will often happen when the stand is not protected which allows the Bamboo material and glue to get soaked with water. Over time, this breaks the bond and causes delamination. Hence the importance of staining your stand.

By following these maintenance steps—thorough initial staining, annual re-staining, cleaning and proper seasonal storage—you can significantly extend the lifespan of your bamboo hammock stand, ensuring it remains a beautiful and functional addition to your outdoor space for years to come.
