    Hammock Chair Liquidation

    Hammockforums members-

    I started Gravity Outdoors this year to commercialize a few ideas that have stemmed from my DIY addiction. One of those ideas was The Whoopie Chair. At the time I thought I had something really profound. I went through testing on 7 different prototypes, filed for a business in my home state, ordered materials and got to work. A lot of work. I wanted to have a solid shelf of stock before I offered the chairs for sale. I launched the project in September and the customer feedback so far has been very positive.

    Along this journey, I noticed another vendor (AHE) has a similar product and others have followed. While I intend to keep Gravity Outdoors around for other projects, I don't intend to continue the Whoopie Chair in production. I just lowered the price on my remaining stock to $45...which includes free domestic shipping through USPS priority mail. I have 13 units left at this price.

    I've never promoted these here on Hammockforums because I created the product for the hammock envious among us who use other means of shelter while traveling. Although I have a Cadillac hammock shelter....I find I also pack a Whoopie Chair along to set up near the fire, etc... They are really fun and quite comfortable.

    Thanks for your consideration!

    Docharaigh - the fabric of the chair is a 1.9ish ripstop nylon cut to 48" wide and 72" long. I'm embarrassed to admit that I went through 7 prototypes to arrive at such a basic dimension. I'd put a reasonable weight limit on the chair at 250ish pounds. The fabric and stitching (Gutermann Tera 60 thread) are quite stout.
