What are Mexican Hammocks made off?
Hammocks are great outdoor furniture
With great weather and summer approaching it’s time to start thinking about outdoor furniture, patio furniture and garden furniture.
Hammocks and hammock chairs hanging from trees in your garden look great and if you don’t have trees ideally placed or the patio is a bit small why not choose a purpose designed lightweight and easily moved stand or frame.
We have stands for both hammocks and hammock chairs and when you add a stunning and colourful Mexican hammock or a classic off white hammock you will be making a much talked about addition to your garden furniture or outdoor furniture. More importantly though than making your outdoor area look great is that our hammocks are very comfortable and spending time relaxing in a hammock or hammock chair is a great way to spend time.
For information on our range of outdoor furniture options and any of our single hammocks, double hammocks, king hammocks, jumbo hammocks, deluxe hammocks, hammock chairs or Mexican deck chairs call us in the shop.
Where to install a hammock?
If you are in the fortunate position to have lots of trees, gazebo poles or other options and don’t need one of our hammock frames or a hammock chair stand, you might be wondering where to hang your hammock?
We have a lot of clients come into the Hammock Heaven shop asking this question and I always give a similar answer..... Put up hammock hooks in as many positions as possible. With some imagination and the right hardware you can put straps around trees and posts, hang hooks from gazebos, put dyna bolts into house and garage brick walls, put coach bolts through exposed beams and more. With lots of hooks you will be able to easily move you hammock from one spot to another, taking advantage of sunshine on cooler days and shade on hot summer days. If the hooks are already there, moving you Mexican hammock will only take moments and you are much more likely to get more use and enjoyment from your hammock.
The main thing to avoid is tying a rope directly through the hammock eye and onto a fixing point, whatever type of knot you use, it will get very tight and moving or removing your hammock will be more difficult, making it less likely you will get the most out of your hammock and also less likely you will store your beautiful handmade hammock when not in use. All our hammocks whether cotton or nylon and whether from Mexico or Ecuador are very high quality, but anything you leave outside in weather extremes indefinitely will suffer ill effects from the weather. Having easy to use koos means ou will be more likely to care for you hammock and also get the most out of it.
