Hammocks

Q. Which Type Of Swing Is Best For The Home?

If you don’t have trees in your backyard, it’s best to opt for a hammock with a stand and ensure that there's a flat surface of concrete or wood to place it on. You want to ensure that it doesn’t tilt, which could be dangerous. If you’re going to use it often and don’t want to risk having to replace it, opt for a high-quality durable option..

Q. Can Hammocks Be Left Out In The Rain?

Yes, they can be left out in the rain. Most hammocks are made from waterproof materials like polyester and canvas, therefore resisting moisture damage. The spreader bars are often made with wood too and won’t rot or disintegrate when repeatedly exposed to rain. If the hammock has a metal stand, it's most likely to be reinforced with a rubber pad at the bottom to prevent slippage.

Q. How High Off The Ground Should Hammocks Be?

The ideal height between the hammock and the ground should be 18 inches. This is the average height of a chair, making it just high enough for you to climb in and get comfortable. You want it to be safe to get off as well, and this is the perfect height to do so.
