Choosing a Hammock  |  |
- Step 1 - Select the Hammock Material
Hammocks vary in the material they are made in. There are rope hammocks and cloth hammocks, but each of those are different material and grades.
Rope hammocks vary in the type of rope as well as the thickness. Some rope hammocks have spreader bars and others do not.
- Cotton Rope Hammocks Cotton rope hammocks are the most in-expensive. They are also more prone to mildew and will not wear as well. They are also the most comfortable hammocks.
- Nylon Rope Hammocks Hammocks made of nylon rope are mid-grade quality. They will wear better and handle moisture better than the cotton rope hammocks, but also cost more.
- Olefin Rope Hammocks Olefin hammocks are the longest lasting but are typically the most money.
Fabric Hammocks vary as well. Here are a few different types of fabric hammocks:
- Mayan Hammocks – Mayan hammocks are typically brightly colored hand woven from thin string without spreader bars
- Brazilian Hammocks – Brazilian hammocks are hand woven from cotton. They are better suited to cold climates because they are not vented like the Mayan hammocks.
- Polyester/Nylon Fabric Hammocks – Typically designed for camping. Some camping hammocks come with rain flies and mosquito nets.
- Step 2 – Consider the location you will use the hammock
Different hammocks are designed for different applications. For instance, poolside hammocks are great for wet areas and brazilian hammocks are better for colder climates. Some hammocks are better suited to be used outside than others. For instance a cotton rope hammock will not withstand the weather as well as a polyester hammock.
- Setp 3 - Hammock size.
Hammocks come in different widths and lengths. Hammocks are also built to hold different weights. Some are designed for single user and others for two.
