Rope hammocks will tend to sag as they wear over time. This does not mean you must endure a hammock that sags too much--simply adjust the hanging height and length to bring some firmness back into the rope hammock. You may also notice some "fraying" in some kinds of rope hammocks made with natural fiber. In many cases this is normal and does not mean that the ropes are about to give way. The fraying effect is sometimes known as tasselling and does not affect the strength of the rope. If your rope hammock seems brittle or weak, it may be time to replace it, but the tasselling effect all by itself is nothing to worry about.
