Not Kenny Rogers!

Most everyone loves the idea of relaxing in their backyard or campsite on a hammock.  But selecting the correct hammock for your use can be a bit challenging.  Hammocks come in a wide variety of sizes, types and materials which are suited for different uses.  For example, the material could be cotton, polyester or canvas.  While the cotton hammock is most suited for indoor use and occasional outdoor use, the polyester hammock will stand up to almost any weather conditions with no problem.  The cotton rope hammock is generally the most popular although the rope does not wear well over time if exposed to the constant outdoor environment.  From personal use, I’ve always found the polyester hammocks can be bit warm during hot summer days.  The rope hammocks allow a soft breeze to flow over your entire body.

Another consideration is the amount of space you have to dedicate to your new hammock.  If planning for use on a deck or patio, you might consider the new hammock chairs or swings.  Although the hammock chairs are not as comfortable as the standard rope hammocks, they offer the ease of hanging from a single rope and take up much less space.  All true hammock chairs are made to be hung from an overhead support.  Many times a porch roof beam or overhang will do the job.   But as popularity has grown, some manufacturers have created stand-alone hanging systems which enable you to move your hammock chair into more open areas. They are also much more stable and might be a good option for use by children or the elderly. 

If your deck is large enough, you might consider using a full size hammock installed in a hammock stand.  Hammock stands might be made of wood or steel.  The wood hammock stands offer a great durable and classy option and contributes to the overall appearance of your hammock.  The drawback as you might expect is generally the wood hammock stand are a bit more expensive.  It is easy to find package deals which includes hammock and stand.  This of course makes the selection process a bit easier.
