Does the hammock get hot when in the hot sun? ie. would I need to put on a towel first not to burn?

I don't know. It was too big for my base. The seller would not refund my money. So I would look at another company to purchase from. This company will say it was used and not refund your money if you try to test for that issue. I never used mine so I could'nt tell you.

It does not get hot! It is an amazing material. It is very stretchy and fits my whole family, 2 adults and 3 small kids. We love to lay on it in the sunshine!

No, not at all. It's cotton and very comfortable on bare skin. I think you'd be very happy with it.

Yes, wet towels will be very hot after 15-20 minutes when put in wet. It works very well.

Yes! I have washed mine once. You do have to use the gentle/delicate cycle, because the hammock has plastic "anchors" that fit inside the creases of the backseat to hold it in place. Awesome! It says to line dry (for the same reasons), so I simply laid mine out across some outdoor chairs for an afternoon in the sun, and VOILA! It's a dream, and I would buy this over 100 times.

Yes the surfaces do get hot if in the sun. I use the infant swings for my 2 year old twins and have had them since they were 1. They are very sturdy and comfortable. My kids won't get out of them!

I haven't noticed it getting hot but I have cushions on the seat. It doesn't seem like it would get too hot but my patio doesn't have direct sun. The chairs seemed to be higher than typical bar height and were a little tricky getting in them. It looks great sitting on my patio hahaha

Mainly camp in wooded areas, so I can't really speak to how hot it gets in direct sun with no wind. We did put it up a few times in an open spot. I found it to be one of the best items we have bought. Sturdy and it is all mesh except for the roof. The walls are nearly perpendicular. So headspace even if it rains. But it isn't really a dark color. It's a light greenish tan. Like the definition of khaki. So I guess I have not found this to be an issue.

Yes you can. Lying on it does make it warmer. I thought the temp was perfect but if you want it cooler you can always add a towel.

I have not had any problems with it getting hot. It's very comfortable and a great deal for the price

If u take the 20 min at most 30 to set it up well then i have had no problems with highwind or bad rain. If u do have water running under the tent it will pull the heat out of your body without a good pad or blanket under you. And i havent set it up with the cover off in high wind. It may move a tiny bit but nothing to worry about.

No, It doesn't get that hot, at least not to burn on the front if you touch it. It will get warm. The outside doesn't get hot.

No rain fly - I have this hammock and I just use a cheap tarp from a hardware store. The cheap ones are surprisingly light weight. That way I can get it a bit bigger and keep my gear dry. Or if it's nice, there's a million other things I use tarps for.

No. I live in Florida and didn't have a problem with it getting hot (the swing only lasted 2 seasons before dry rotting though).

Unfortunately, I tossed out the hammock after this last winter. It lasted about two years. My mistake was not so much the sun in the summer but the rain in the winter. I did not take good care of it and left the hammock out in the blazing CA sun in the summer and through the winter rains. I am sure it would have lasted longer for me had I put it away in the winter. Can't give the dimensions now because it is gone.

Yes. It gets very hot. Definitely a con on this. I have to hold the handle with a small towel.

My table is on my deck covered when not in use as are the chairs around it. When I am using it, I have a 9 foot umbrella overhead. So, with that in mind, it is never too hot to use. It is a metal, though, so left exposed without a cover in the sun may make it hot. I imagine it could be cooled down quickly just wiping the surface with a towel dipped in cold water. Hope my comments have helped you. Enjoy your summer!

You know, I've used it and it does get sun, but I haven't noticed it being too hot to lean on. I have other aluminum tables in the sun and I don't remember them getting hot either. I'll have to pay attention and try them to let you know for sure.
