ST. GERMAIN, WISCONSIN

Seriously comfortable. Proudly handmade.

I’ve been making distinctive hammocks and useful outdoor gear here in Wisconsin’s Northwoods for more than 20 years. I work in small batches, choose bold fabrics, and build the kind of comfort that keeps people coming back.

My storyVisit the Hut

Handmade hammocks

The Hammock Hut journey began with a spark of an idea, a shoestring budget, and a workspace in the basement of a dear friend. I started by crafting hammocks for my kayaking friends and for regular customers at the airport bar I was managing at the time. More than two decades later, that little idea has grown into an adventure that has reached people across the country and even beyond. Through all of that growth, one thing has never changed: the care, quality, and pride I put into every hammock I make.

Each hammock is individually handcrafted with exceptional materials, thoughtful attention to detail, and a genuine love for what I do. I like to think of them as a little bit of functional art, made to bring comfort, relaxation, fun, and maybe even a little sunshine into someone’s life. I’m deeply grateful for each and every order, and your satisfaction is my success. Thank you for supporting what I love to do and for becoming part of this continuing Hammock Hut adventure.

MADE BY HAND

Made here. Used everywhere.

Every hammock starts with fabric, scissors, sewing machines, rope, hardware, and hands-on work. I make them in small batches, pay attention to the practical details, and leave plenty of room for Northwoods personality.

Hammock accessories

Hammock accessories

I keep the accessories simple: sturdy gear that makes hanging your hammock easier and more portable.

My Tree Huggers use wide, heavy-duty webbing and carabiners for a quick setup between suitable trees. I also offer my XT Phatty Hammock Straps for people who want my heaviest-duty strap setup.

If you’re not sure what you need for your hammock or where you plan to hang it, call or text me at 715-347-7467. I’ll help you figure out the safest, simplest setup.

Cornhole, the Hammock Hut way.

I make these bags one at a time with carefully weighed proprietary fill, durable stitching, bold fabrics, and the same attention to detail I bring to everything I make here at the Hut.

Messenger bags & more

The Hut is bigger than hammocks. I make messenger and crossbody bags too, and the lineup changes as new pieces are finished, photographed, and ready to go.

STORIES FROM THE HUT

Thailand, hammocks, and a friendship I’ll never forget

Hammock Hut has never been only about fabric and rope. Hammocks have led me to people, places, friendships, and parts of the world I never expected to know.

One of those roads led to rural Thailand — quiet roads, rice fields, fruit trees, generous strangers, simple hammocks outside family homes, and a friendship that changed the way I saw the world. This is one story. There are many more.

Kind words from hammock people

  • Ten years, still like new

    “Awesome place to get a high quality durable hammock. Just got my second one after having my first for 10 years which is still like new. Can't beat the genuine homemade stuff.”

  • Six hammocks and counting

    “I have 6 hammocks that I have bought from Hammock Hut over the past 5 years, and the craftsmanship and material quality are truly top notch... the reason I keep buying them isn't because the existing hammocks have worn out.”

  • Seven years, looks brand new

    “He helped me find the perfect one for me which I have used plenty for almost 7 years and it still looks entirely brand new... Each hammock is one of a kind and durable!”

  • Exceptional art

    “Exceptional art in hammock and bag form. You will never be disappointed in a purchase from Shawn. His heart goes into all of the work he completes on his own, in his one-man shop. Remarkable.”

  • Used daily, still like new

    “I purchased a hammock and crossover purse over 4 years ago. They both still look brand new (used daily). I get compliments on my purse ALL THE TIME. So impressed with this store!”

  • The third hammock

    “Owner Shawn is a gem! This is the third hammock we’ve purchased from him... we got to pick out the fabric and rope and he strung it while we chatted! Love these hammocks and his shop!”

  • This place is the best

    “This place is the best! The owner is such a great guy, making all of the hammocks by hand. It's all great quality and he walks you through every step. I couldn't speak more highly of this shop and the quality.”

  • Unbelievable quality

    “Unbelievable quality and great customer service. I couldn’t be happier with the pair of 3 person hammocks they made.”

  • It will outlast me

    “Awesome hammock. It will outlast me.”

  • Best purchase

    “The owner is so friendly and helpful!!! Love my hammock, Best purchase I've ever made!!!”

  • Changed our lives

    “Stopping by the Hammock shop three years ago changed our lives. Our kids spend a good portion of their summers playing in their hammocks, and the only bad camping trip we've had since then was the one time we forgot to bring the hammocks.”

  • Eleven years in Florida

    “Great Hammocks. I have an original...it's about 11 years old. It's been camping dozens of times. I sleep in it all the time. My hammock spent years in my back yard in the Florida weather.”

  • Perfect over the phone

    “Just from talking for a short while Shawn picked me the perfect hammock over the phone! Seriously the best purchase I have made in years! Wonderful customer service and real genuine down to earth homies!”

  • Ten-year graduation gift

    “I received my hammock from the now Hammock Hut as a graduation present...10 years ago. It was the greatest thing ever in my dorm room. It still looks as beautiful as the day I got it!”
