All our Panamas are completely hand made in Ecuador using traditional hat weaving techniques and are accompanied with care instructions to help you care for your panama and get a great long life out of it.
At Hammock Heaven we have a huge range of beautiful Mexican blankets in a variety of colour themes that will definitely light up Mum’s special day. Full of vibrant colours and perfect as outdoor table cloths, picnic rugs, throws, beach blankets, bedspreads and more.
At our shop at 2/410 Pittwater rd. North Manly you can try on any of our ponchos from the super colourful “fiesta” range, the more subtle but still attention grabbing “rayado” ponchos and the western style ponchos made famous by Clint Eastwood in classics such as “For a Few Dollars More”.
I will be writing about hammocks and especially Mexican hammocks and double and king Mexican hammocks. I will be throwing in references to camping, especially now that Easter is almost upon us. Easter is a time where we traditionally head to the coast or a national park for one last fling at some outdoor summer activity before the cooler months set in (at least for those of us living in the temperate zones of his sunburnt country).
Hammock Heaven stock a huge range of worry dolls including; large worry dolls in a textile bag; large worry dolls in a traditional yellow wooden box; small worry dolls in either a textile bag or box; individual worry dolls; worry doll bookmarks; worry doll notebooks and much more. Apart from the notebooks and bookmarks all worry dolls come with a printed copy of the worry doll legend.
At Hammock Heaven, we sell four (4) grades of Panama hats which we designate as; standard; classic; fine and very fine, these gradings do not correspond to any other retailer’s gradings and they are not intended to. The manufacturer we deal with in Ecuador supplies us with hats that they describe as grades 2, 4, 6 & 8.
Panama hats are made from Toquilla straw and hand woven in the same way they have been produced for hundreds of years. There are a few different theories on how they became known as “Panama hats” but the consensus seems to be due to them being supplied to and used by the workers on the Panama canal during construction.
These hammocks are double size but still very lightweight (about 600 grams) and extremely strong, rated to hold up to 160 kgs. We have these in a range of great two tone colours to cater for all tastes. Not only great for camping these are hammocks that work anywhere, the light material used to make them means they are very fast drying and nice and cool. The ends of these hammocks feature quality ropes and a high quality metal “S” hook is included at each end.
Fear these bugs when hammock camping no more..... the answer is here at Hammock Heaven.... mosquito nets purpose designed for hammocks. Our new stock of mosquito nets are great quality, featuring double stitching and top of the range YKK zip opening. These mosquito nets are a tube that completely encloses you hammock with drawstring ends to tighten around you hammock arm strings.
Mexican Oilcloth is suitable for manufacturing a vast range of products. It is perfect for any application that requires an easy to clean surface. Think outdoor tablecloths (oilcloth doesn’t fray, so no need to hem, just cut to size), beach bags, aprons, baby bibs, the possibilities are endless. Oilcloth can even be used to upholster furniture (highchairs, bar stools)
Nylon hammocks are sometimes referred to as “Outdoor Hammocks” because nylon is a more weather resistant material than cotton. That said, our cotton hammocks are all handmade and do last well outside, and if you install your hammock in such a way that it is easy to put it up and take it down, then bringing it in and protecting it from bad weather will greatly ad to it’s lifespan no matter what it is made from.
With great weather and summer approaching it’s time to start thinking about outdoor furniture, patio furniture and garden furniture.
We also have a range of parachute nylon hammocks that are lightweight and fold up very small in their own carry bags, really purpose designed for camping. For added comfort why not add one of our hammock mosquito nets to you camping equipment. These mosquito nets are a tube with a drawstring on each end and a zipper entrance so you are completely enclosed and safe from mossies, flies and other bugs.
Gone is our day off on Monday, we are going to be open 7 days a week from now until the 24th of December 2010. We are also open for trade on Thursday evenings until 7pm so if you want to do your hammock shopping after work that’s the day!
To thank you for shopping with us and to celebrate this festive season we have a great new offer for all our hammock Heaven clients. Between now and December 20 2010 if you buy someone special a hammock as a gift we will give you 15% off a second hammock so you can relax too!
