I used this on a recent solo camping trip to the Amazon rainforest, in total spending 5 nights in it. The first night was a bit uncomfortable as the gap I chose between trees was not large enough, so there ended up being a lot of curvature on the hang, which resulted in my back being sore (I’m in my fifties and often suffer from a bad back, so that’s not usual – 20 years ago I would probably been fine). My feet were also a bit sore due to pushing against the curvature of the hammock. After that night I made sure there was a good size gap between trees, so the hammock was almost at full stretch when hung, and my sleep was much more comfortable and I slept well. I still used two small pillows, the type they give you on planes, one for my back and one for my head, but I would probably have got by without them.
The suspension points for the bug net a a bit tricky to use. Make sure the hooks are well secured to the elasticated line – I ended up losing one of the hooks as it sprung off at great speed into the forest after it didn’t attach to the hammock properly.
One other thing, I soaked the whole hammock in a permithrin-based insecticide before my trip. I got no bites through the hammock floor, and any mosquitos entering the hammock immediately tried to escape and eventually died, rather than biting me. I’m not sure whether they would have been able to bite me through the hammock floor otherwise.
I’m sure you can get something a bit better if you spend more money. I’m also not sure how long lasting this hammock would be, as I’ve only used it for five nights, but it certainly worked for me, it’s lightweight and is great value for money.
Perfect for Scouts – so much so I bought a second one for my daughter. Super easy to put up and the kids really like the fly net so the beasties can’t get in. Lightweight and packs really small too.
it was very comfortable i used it for camping a few times it was fun apart from the fact a fox touched my bum when i was sleeping on it and my mates were jealous because i had it then a few days later they brought one we all go caming with it now and thats all we take pretty much i would recomend its really good and small when it is all folded up
or anything like that any small tear and it’s done also there are no ratchets with this so it’s quite easy for it to slip down a tree or a wooden pole unless you do a couple of clever knots always under not over or under over also works but you get the idea you get what you pay for yes it works just be careful
Got this thinking it won’t last long only time will tell but straight out the bag east to set up plenty of space bug net works perfectly straps are super long for ease took ten mins to put up in the garden then fell asleep for half an hour it’s great for what it is light easy clean and has a mesh pocket inside for phone etc would buy again !
Perfect for a camping weekend, really easy to set up and can handle two people comfortably.
Have had other hammocks from other suppliers previously but this one has to be the favourite so far!
This hammock is easy to set up and comfortable. I use it with a sleep mat and would need to invest I an underquilt for winter camping. Ideal first hammock, I use this under my DD 3X3 tarp, perfec
Tested in back garden, straps for hammock as good as my builders rachets straps. Main clips very strong easily unfolds and repacks. It is a light weight hammock so if you look after it will give you many lazy afternoons somewhere.
On the whole it’s very well made and the built-in mosquito net means it can be used inside a tarp tent, on a ground mat.
You can invert the hammock if you don’t need to use the net.
The straps are a very good length and the hammock can be attached at different points on each one, so it’s easy to get it exactly the right height off the ground.
The weight and pack size are pretty much perfect.
Would definitely buy this again.
Love these so much have bought 5! One for my husband, envied by my sons so got them each one for our wild camping sessions – then got two more for gifts for nephew and niece. Easy to use.
Comfortable have to guage distance between trees we could of stayed in and slep
Didnt come with instructions but it only took me and a friend 2 mins to realize how to set it up. measure the distance between trees before you tie it up. Really comfy and sturdy, we are not heavy but it held the both of us (we both got in as a sturdiness test)
Great value for money
I have never left a review before but had to this time just how quick the hammock went up and came back down quite literally 2 mins and it’s up and just as quick to pack away I know a couple of people who are getting 1 of these for Christmas and for the price you can’t complai
Sturdy and comfortable as the other hammocks in this range. Hanging straps sturdy and easy to use and adjust. But more fiddling to secure mosquito net but once fixed and tensioned leaves plenty of room
Bought this as an update to my original Covacure hammock I have been using for several years. As was the original it is great value for money if your looking for a simple hammock for camping or just for the back garden. I havent had any issues with insects with the mesh however I havent had a chance to take it to the highlands yet. The new bungee cords with hooks are a great upgrade from the original attached to the top of the insect mesh and wrapped around tree slightly higher than slings keeps the mesh away from your face. Comes with tree straps with it ideal for using straight away.
This is my 2nd Covacure hammock, which I have bought for my son. The hammock is strong as I am no lightweight. Straps are durable with plenty of fixing points to get the right tension. The attached storage bag is a nice touch, I can’t tell you how time I’ve wasted looking for bags for other kit. The bag can be flipped into the hammock and used as storage. The new fixings for the mossie net is an improvement on the old design. The hammock is easy and quick to set up. Overall the hammock is excellent value for money and would suit a newbie or experienced hammocke
These are great hammocks and the mosquito net adds additional useful functionality at a fraction of the price. We use these hammocks to backpack and camp.
Fabulous hammock. I love how it comes with a built in carry bag and light weight material. The surrounding net makes this the perfect hammock for wild camping. Love i
The jury is out whether it will stand the test of time, but for the price it’s a good bit of kit for casual camping in the wild. My only complaint is the length of it. Anyone over 6 foot might find it hard to lie diagonally and be completely comfortable. 10/10 (for now)
This product surprised me. Bought it not expecting much but I’ve slept in this on 4 different 3 night camps and so far no problems at all. Not even with the straps. I did buy replacements just in case but haven’t needed them. And I’m not light weighing in at 100kg. The hammock itself packs super small and light. Its comfortable once set up. The straps are strong and easily adjustable. A lot easier than my previous setup of whoopie slings. Will it last forever? probably not. But for the 20 odd I paid I’m very impressed. Will look out for other Covacure kit in future.
Honest opinion about the covacure Camping Hammock
the hammock is great comes in a small package that can fit tight/snug in ur backpack/bag it doesn’t take up much space about 18ish centimetre in length and like 12ish in width. comes with great tree huggers straps decently durable honestly a great hammock for all campers beginners-pros
This hammock is inexpensive and does the job perfectly. It has ripstop which some more expensive hammocks don’t have. I’m happy with the quality and ease of putting it up. It is compact and lightweight. It is very comfortable. Great for having a cheeky nap on a hike. I wish there were more colours. I bought it with the net but not necessary for my use but net tucks to the side or use in reverse. I’ve bought 3 of these (2 as presents for my camping buddies) and we’re happy about upping our napping experience in the outdoors.
It comes well packaged in a zip seal bag that has basic set up instructions printed on it. Further more the included printed instructions are comprehensive and easy to follow.
The hammock and contents are stored within the built in bag/stuff sack. It’s greatreat to have it all self contained and the pouch becomes handy storage when it is set up as a hammock. The bungees and pegs have their own little bag too which is a nice touch.
I had no previous experience with hammocks before receiving this but I had it set up indoors in a few minutes.
I removed it from the pouch, set up the two strong straps and clipped it on. As simple as that.
It feels well built and stitching looks strong. The two long straps have plenty of adjustment points on them.
The included bungee cords are very handy for spreading the hammock out. The built in fly sheet looks like it’ll be great for stopping midgies and it doesn’t smother your face either.
Overall a fantastic product and an even more fantastic price. Definitely recommend it.
Really good hammock . Good things:
With this lock down my little ones where missing out on spending more time outside in the garden in favour of being on their devices. Off course I could’ve purchased a conventional hammock or even better a swing bench but this hummock although it looks flimsy it is quite strong and the bugs net have encouraged my kids to spend more time in fresh air.
Advertised for 2 people , it is comfortable and has a mosquito net to protect you against the little vampires.
It is easy to erect and pack it up and doesn’t take much space.
Not the not so good things :
Even though it is for 2 people I would not trust to xx large individuals in the same time…
Also the mosquito net only protects you if your face is away from the net Or the underside material this being difficult if 2 people are on the same time. But good for spiders and all other crawling insects.
Acceptable price but I would we hope to have also included a rain cover when in use. It did came with some strong straps to go around small trees for easy hock up.
Overall good product. If out camping get a rain cover and a sleeping bag for extra comfort.
The pegs are of crappy quality and bent first time but i didn’t even need them for this hammock, you can always find rocks and trees to attach the lines to anyway.
So overall and excellent buy.
Purchased last week so I could do a bit of tarp & hammock camping on private woodland. Very well made, easy to put up etc. Comes with adjustable tree straps which are easy to use.
Only negative/issue I have is how much everything stretches! Went to bed a good 1-2ft off of the ground. Woke up with my arse touching the dirt ( I am 5’10” and 15.5st ). Next time it will be secured even higher and a lot tighter. Other than that, really great bit of kit!
*Update* I’ve used the hammock on 3 seperate camping trips now. Sets up really easy, I’ve changed the carabiners to stronger ones (12kn) which was inexpensive and I use mini ratchet straps instead of the tree straps as it’s easier to adjust. I’ve also added a lightweight inflatable mat and an underquilt due to the temp change so I don’t get cold spots. Both work really well with my set-up. I also purchased a DD hammocks waterproof sleeve/sock to keep the hammock dry when setting up in the rain or when the ground is wet.
Downsides: The tree huggers are not the best. This hammock would be perfect if it came with looped tree huggers. I’ve had to buy others seperately to ensure a good hang all the time. One of the small side loops that a bungee ties to has broken pretty quickly.
It feels quite big when packed and a lot of spare fabric when hanging but it is a double. Would love this in a single. On the whole I’d absolutely recommend this hammock. – The OneTigris underquilt fits it fantastically well also.
In hammock one my friend read a book and found it easy to sit closer to the edge and read under the net and to hammock two I stared up at trees and listened to the wind and leaves till I almost fell asleep! If its a little chilly I definitely recommend that you have a blanket under you as well as over.
So comfy, couldn’t believe I haven’t owned one before!
You can really see it if the net and added bonus I couldn’t be seen very well by a squirrel through the net so I got to see him close up for ages!
