How to put your Cacoon together?

1.  Place your Cacoon on the ground with the door spread open (drawing 1). Build the inner ring by slotting together the sections piece by piece whilst feeding them through the guide loops on the inside of your Cacoon (drawing 2).Once you have fed completed sections through all the loops complete the rest of the ring – you may have to use a bit of force to align and slot together the last two sections (drawing 3).
2.  Pull the Cacoon over the completed ring – using your hands and fingers to lever the final part of the fabric over the ring (the design of the Cacoon relies on the ring fitting tightly – so be prepared to use a bit of force) (drawing 4&5). Using reef knots, secure the last parts of the inner ring to the horizontal seam with the available ties (drawing 6).
3.  Hang your Cacoon – but before you do, check that the branch, beam or bracket is strong enough to take your weight and the weight of any friends who may be joining you (drawing 7).
4. Every time you use your Cacoon you MUSTAlways check that your Cacoon and its hanging system are in good condition and show no signs of damage, wear or tear.
5. Always ensure that you use a suitable knot to tie off your hanging rope and that your chosen hanging point is strong enough to take at least the same weight as you intend to have in the Cacoon.Always tether when using the cacoon
6. Never exceed the stated load limit or hang the Cacoon higher than just above ground level (when fully laden).
7. Never jump into a Cacoon or use it as a trampoline or swing – the Cacoon is designed for gentle play and relaxation.
8. Never hang your cacoon where it can swing into a vertical surface. You will wear the fabric out around the ring.
9. Never twist or spin your cacoon. It is only designed to hang from the webbing loop without any twists.

How to use your Cacoon?

1.  Set the height of the ring off the ground to around that of a typical seat.
2.  Sit down in your Cacoon just as you would in a normal chair – you may find it helpful to use the internal rope as a handle.
3.  Shift your body weight to suit your mood – remember the further back you move in your Cacoon the more reclined it will become.
4.  To get out, put both feet firmly on the ground outside of the Cacoon and simply stand up just as you would if you were getting up from a normal chair – you may find it helpful to use the internal rope as a handle to pull up on.
5. Never use the ring edge as a step to get in or out of a Cacoon.
6. Never step out of a Cacoon one foot at a time – you will go one way while the Cacoon will go the other (drawing 8).
7. Never stand or allow your children to stand in your Cacoon.

How to care for your Cacoon?

1. Always tether your Cacoon when not in use – this is particularly important in high winds – and ensure that it cannot bang into walls, tree trunks etc as this will damage the fabric and potentially the ring too (drawing 9).
2. Washing Yes, your Cacoon can be washed at maximum 30° with neutral detergent. No bleach.

PUT THE RING BACK INTO YOUR CACOON AND HANG DRY – DON’T DRY WITHOUT THE RING IN PLACE – DON’T TUMBLE DRY.

And don’t even think about getting the iron out – Cacoons don’t like irons! Or simply wash your Cacoon down while it’s hanging – use warm, soapy water and wash off with clean water.

Top Tips from Team Cacoon
If you are not using your Cacoon take it down and hang it in the garage You will increase the life span of your Cacoon if you do this. Run a light line from the rear webbing loop through the top carabiner so you can pull the Cacoon up and easily reduce UV, windage and water ingress when you are not using it. Keep it clean. UV and mould are the biggest enemies of longevity. We do treat the fabric to combat these two nasties but you will increase the life of your Cacoon if you do this. Do not leave in direct sunlight when not in use.Disclaimer Hang-in-out Design Ltd and all agents and representatives thereof cannot assume responsibility for special, indirect,or consequential damages or contingent liability for use of this product in a manner not expressly intended by the manufacturer.
