Overview
The Snappin’ Hammock came from a love of the outdoors and living in the moment. It came from the desire to live a carefree life with our easy-to-use hammock shell design. We designed a recoil apparatus that snaps the hammock back into its shell allowing for quick set up and take down. It also features a mechanism to remove debris and water from your hammock as it winds back into its waterproof shell. Small, compact & easy to use, the Snappin’ Hammock can go anywhere you go.

Snappin’ Hammock originated from a passion for the outdoors and those perfect moments.  



Our team developed a new technology that SNAPS-BACK, STORES & PROTECTS your hammock. 

We designed an easy-to-use, snap-back, recoil apparatus that allows for quick set up and take down. It also features a mechanism to remove debris and water from your hammock as it winds back into its waterproof shell. Small, compact & easy to use, the Snappin’ Hammock can go anywhere you go. 

Our unique shell design snaps-back, cleans, stores and protects your hammock. Always there and always ready, the Snappin’ Hammock lets you grab your hammock and go, while also ensuring it stays clean and lasts longer.

The Snappin’ Hammock design was centered around giving you an easy-to-use, fast and simple product that optimizes your hammock-time. Let your mind wander as you relax in your hammock knowing its always there & always ready to go!

Tired of trying to pack your hammock back into that small bag? With the Snappin’ Hammock recoil mechanism your hammock snaps back into its shell with ease so you can focus on relaxing.  Like your grandma’s recoil vacuum cord but so much better. 

Inside the Snappin’ Hammock shell is a moisture control Silica Gel packet slot. Replace it annually to wick away and absorb moisture from your hammock. Reduce damp smells and decrease the chance of mildew or other unpleasant things caused by moisture. Let nature be the only scent on your hangs.

Made of lightweight, sturdy, scratch-resistant and recyclable plastic, this custom-shaped hammock holder is a cinch to carry as you hike.

Because everything you carry matters, this unit is as space-wise as it comes. Our tight spring load system inside, snaps your hammock back into its compact, hand-held shell.

Because sometimes, it rains. With the Snappin’ Hammock shell, enjoy water resistant protection from rain and water. The shell is mechanically sealed tight and the “mouth” of the shell has a small rubber gasket to keep water out.

Snappin’ Hammock can go anywhere with you. Perfect for festivals, camping, RVing or just hanging out in the park. Its quick and easy set-up, take down and easy storage makes your hammock the hit of any outdoor occasion. 

The Snappin’ Hammock is in prototype optimization stage. We need your help to continue testing and improving our prototype. Your support will drive market readiness and bring the Snappin’ Hammock to life.  

Our next step is working to reduce prototype size and start fitting, testing and creating the final mold before manufacturing our first product run in Summer 2018

Snappin’ is currently working with the existing prototype to reduce size and is focused on:

  • Optimizing CAD designs 
  • Reviewing snap-back recoil mechanisms  
  • Finalizing the engineering schematics

 

We will soon begin the process of:

  • 3D printing sample runs
  • Fit and form testing, Destructive testing, Viability testing
  • Designing the supply chain process
  • Tooling (Injection mold creation) 
  • Materials procurement 
  • Production

Calling All Hammock Lovers

Here at Snappin’ Hammock we have been working hard over the past year to create the smallest and most convenient hammock ever.  We are calling all hammock lovers who share a passion for the outdoors.  Become a part of a movement, a community.  Let’s realize the possibility of having the most compact, easy to use, weatherproof hammock yet. 

Why Snappin'

Snappin’ Hammock is more than a hammock, it is a lifestyle.  We are a community of likeminded individuals who are obsessed with quality, the outdoors and giving back.  

We are starting to build our community; Snappin’ Hammock is proud to initiate our first give back campaign – Snappin’ For Trees – where we will plant a tree for every Snappin’ Hammock sold.  Trees planted will be focused on areas that have recently been devastated by wildfires and hurricanes (Western Canada and the Southern United States).

Q & A

 

1.     What is included in my Snappin' Hammock? 

Your Snappin' Hammock will include your waterproof shell and a 50x76 inch Slacker Hammock.  

2.     Are straps included? 

No they are not included.  

3.     What happens if you don't reach your goal? 

We will be refunding all backer's purchases if we don't reach our goal.  

4.     Can I put my own hammock in the Snappin' Hammock? 

Due to where the hammock attaches to the internal snap-back mechanism, there will be custom adjustments to the hammock that won't allow this.  We do hope to fix this issue in future versions of the Snappin' Hammock and have the ability to attach standard off the shelf hammocks.  

5.     Is there any other colours of the Snappin' Hammock? 

Currently the Snappin' Hammock shell only comes in black. 

6.     What colour is the Slacker Hammock? 

At this time we are offering 3 options of hammock colours to choose from: blue, green or grey. When making your contribution, please make note in the checkout of what colour you would like to receive.  

7.     What if my Snappin' Hammock breaks? 

If you're Snappin' Hammock shell breaks we will happily send you a new shell free of charge.
