All Hammocks Are Not Created Equal

By Gordon Kaye


Nothing says 'lazy summer day' like a hammock. There is nothing like one when you want to relax and let the stresses of the day evaporate. With the wide variety of products on the market, it is easy to get caught up in the fabrics, colors and styles available, but you can be sure there is a hammock that perfectly fits your needs.

First, think about where you will put it. Do you have two trees to tie it between? If not, that is perfectly fine. You can find a hammock with a stand, which eliminates the need for trees. Stands can be made of a variety of materials to match your décor. Do you have a large area or a small balcony? Some hammocks are smaller than others, so they will fit better where space is at a premium.

Second, think about what you like. Do you like the look and feel of a sturdy nylon fabric hammock, or do you like to sink into the woven rope of a net hammock? Both are low-maintenance, and can withstand the elements. They are resistant to rot and mildew, to provide many years of enjoyment. Both conform to your body, while the rope hammocks offer more in the way of ventilation. Fabric hammocks offer an opportunity to express yourself through patterns and colors. Do you like the look of a single hammock or the inviting appearance of a double? If you will be sharing your hammock (and you probably will!), you can not go wrong with a double.

Not only are hammocks great for your own yard, but they make great gifts as well. Forget the typical housewarming gift of towels or drinking glasses or wine. Bring a hammock, and you will be the most popular guest at the party.

After you have reviewed your choices and found the perfect hammock, there is nothing left to do but set it up and unwind. As soon as you do, you will know you made the right choice.
