Are the cushions attached permanently to the hammock? Does it take long for the hammock to dry after the exposure to the rain ? Thanks!

Cushions are not attached. Not sure regarding getting wet, this looks like a Cotton or Poly fabric so not sure how it dries.

The cushions can both be removed. I've never had mine out in the rain, so I'm not sure how long it takes to dry. I keep mine on a covered porch.

No, the cushions are not attached. It is a Haitian cotton which is a thick, somewhat irregular weave. It does take a little longer to dry than a "regular" fabric. i always try to take in my cushions when I know it's going to rain.

Hi there,The cushions are not attached, and for sure, it would be sturdy enough for a vacation rental. The one thing is that the fabric will fade over time with a lot of sun exposure (we live in Northern California, and the fabric did fade after 1 summer of constant sunshine). But otherwise, it is a great set.

I left mine out in the weather and after a couple of years it looked pretty groady (since the cushion is nice and thick it never dried out....); keep in mind that this cushion is extra long, so if you buy one from a local retailer it will probably be too short. Another option that I used for a while is to make a simple removable cover for it, using ties rather than a zipper.

Hey Mark, the furniture is on a covered, but not enclosed porch, protected from everything except wind driven rain. When rain is expected we bring in the cushions but leave the furniture out.

The frame is waterproof,the cushions water repellant. We need to cover because we have many trees and cushions get marked.

I wouldn't leave it outside all the time, but I think if you got caught in a rain it would be ok. I would dry it as soon as you could tho. The chair is metal base with a seat and back that's like a sturdy vinyl-canvas material. I think it's well made but should be stored inside when not in use. Would last longer.

Our furniture is on a covered porch. We use the cover if it's going to rain, but if we forget, the cushions will get wet. In a light rain, the water beads and can be dried off easily. If they get a little more wet, we just stand them on their side and they dry very quickly. We've had the set for more than a year and love it. The cushions will fade in the sun, but I'm not aware of any that won't have some amount of fading in sunlight.

Have not heard any major issues personally. It's quite comfy. The soft velour cushions and airy hammock make them a good fit.

I don't believe it would be okay if it got rained on, and there is also a chance that insects/other animals may chew on it/try to live in it. But if it was sitting in a spot like on a porch, or under a tree or awning, it might be fine. You could possibly even set the cushion inside to make it more comfy.

Stephen, yes they are waterproof, tested many times this summer on the rainy east coast and not a drop of water on my new patio furniture cushions. They will fade in the sun, no big deal. After a few years you can discard and replace.

Your hammock will last much longer if only brought out to use. Water, sun, and even birds and squirrels can really make this a disposable purchase! I know it's a pain, but your hammock will look great and hold up for years if you take the the time to bring it in.

We leave it outside all year long with the cushions in it and they stay dry. We live in New England so it goes through rain and snow.

I store cushions and radio from the pool area. Keeps rain out. I leave it out all winter (northern winters). No problems. Also keeps rodents out. This is the third summer for mine. I'd buy it again

Yes it does. I have a pretty shady backyard, especially after about 1 pm. So, this fact is not a deal breaker for me. I was looking for a set without cushions, since I didn't want to frequently take them off/on and store them when not in use. If I were to redesign this set, I would affix a wooden armrest on top of the steel armrests. Hope this helps.

We screwed hooks into our trees and use clasps to quickly set up the hammock as needed. This allows us to keep it out of most of the nasty weather. It was out for maybe a handful of ohio summer storms. The nylon held up fantastically and shows no signs of wear and tear. Also, the nylon air dries quickly and doesn't hold odor. Very happy with our jumbo nylon. However, ours is in the shade, so I can't speak for sun damage.

I leave my chair cushions outside. They are on a covered porched, but they are exposed to rain/snow. I've had mine for almost a year (purchased 2 colors), and so far they are holding up nicely. I expect in full sun dark colors may tend to fade - perhaps the manufacturer can provide more information. These are nicer than the cushions I found at local big box stores.
