Return To Hammocks Article Archive   Search the Article Archives Hammock Stands and Hammocks - For Relaxation in Your Own Backyard By Michael Jennings The creation of the hammock stand has made access to hammock relaxation accessible to everyone. Large yards and gardens are unnecessary, as hammock stands allow us to enjoy a hammock in the smallest of spaces, like a courtyard or patio and partake in all types of hammocks from traditional reclining hammocks, as well as hammock chairs and swings. Like anything to do with hammocks, there is a hammock stand to suit any budget and while we will pay more for aesthetics, one needn't spend a small fortune to enjoy the feeling of swinging or lazing about in one of the world's most comfortable inventions. Hammock stands come in a veritable smorgasbord of designs and construction elements. Aluminium-framed stands are the most popular choice and biggest sellers because of their durability, set-up ease and cost. However, for those wanting more of a centrepiece for a patio or courtyard, there are some rather beautiful, if more expensive, options available. More expensive hammock stands are usually made of timber or steel. Designs are streamline and quite stunning, often borrowing lines from Scandinavian modern furniture and are simple, yet elegant. The shapes include a 'C' shape, where the hammock or hammock swing hang from the top of the 'c' to a rather space-age 'x' frame, where the hammock is hung from the top ends of the 'x'. Some of the timbers used in their construction include cypress and oak. All of these stands would be a feature to any garden, patio or even indoors. Hammock stands for traditional, full-recline hammocks are also available and these are a clever alternative for those who lack back yard or garden space and, unlike a conventional hammock, attached to two trees or poles, they can be moved easily and set up anywhere in or outdoors. Believe it or not, a hammock stand is even available to attach to the back of a standard sized pick-up truck or utility. These are ideal for people who camp and are also easy to put up. So whether you are seeking a striking, useable feature for your garden or simply a fold-away hammock you can bring out on a warm day, there is, quite literally, something for everyone.
