The two words outdoor and hammocks fit together perfectly.  While I have got hammocks indoors in my home at the moment, the bulk of hammocks are used outdoors. There are three main places or types of areas where most hammocks are used. If you discount other niche areas where I have seen hammocks hung up, like music festivals and the beach, these three groups tend to cover the bulk of the uses.

There are other people that use hammocks on a daily basis and I haven’t allowed for these types of people in this article. For example truckers in Thailand all have hooks mounted in the back of their trucks and when they stop they simply hook it up and sleep.

Resorts.

I allow that resorts cover all different types of hotel and holiday accommodation places. It is great that it is generally the advertising agencies that promote hammock sales for us manufacturers by doing adverts with hot bikini girls in hammocks. Having said that I found that it was the smaller more personal type of bed and breakfast or backpacker that tended to place the real orders. These resorts knew very well that this lifestyle quality detail gave them huge repeat business.

I am based in South Africa and the game lodges were perfectly suited to a high quality hammock. My personal experience found that the hammock chair tended to be more popular as it was more social as anti-social.  A few of the lodges that tended to not skimp on the details around the boma or fire areas were the ones that were receiving the most results. It makes sense that if someone sits comfortably around a blazing fire in the bushveld that they would have fond memories of that resort.

Private home use.

The biggest market for hammocks is in the general home use category. There is not a particular type of hammock that is more prevalent here. There are equally as many lightweight parachute type fabric hammocks, as there are large family sized double padded luxury hammocks. The size of the entertainment areas in the yards of your home generally helps make the decision as to which hammock to buy.

As we are discussing outdoor hammocks here I would like to point out that the other huge hammock population is the many people that us their hammocks every night to sleep in at home.

Hiking and camping.

The final large group of hammock users is the hiking and camping crowd. This portion of the hammock market is probably the most loyal (fanatical). The reason it is safe to say this is that even the guy that really uses his hammock a lot at home generally only lies around in it a bit on the weekends. Now a hiker or camper spends many a happy weekend tramping around in natures most beautiful places, and living in their hammocks.

These guys can tell you the real stories about their hammock adventures. They live life large. Good for them. Outdoor hammocks are perfectly suited to this pastime. Go and get yourself fitted today.

There is much more to hammocks than the simple, pleasurable act of swinging lazily in the breeze without a care in the world. These comfortable, beneficial, suspended beds were born of necessity, and the history of their creation is an interesting one indeed. There remains a bit of mystery revolving around the origin of hammocks, but one fact is uncontestable: hammocks have been a commonplace tool for both survival and burial since as early as 450 BC. This is the earliest recorded date of the swinging bed, said to have been developed by an unassuming student of Socrates named Alcibiades.

Now, understanding that Greece was worlds away from the jungles and tropical wilds where the hammock is thought to have been developed, and that during this point in time the world was considered flat, square, and frighteningly unsure just past the horizon, we have to assume that Alcibiades just so happened upon an intelligent, logical, and comfortable way to rest which, certainly, was already employed elsewhere in the world. Since he had no way of knowing this, we simply must give him kudos for his efforts and move on to the origin of hammocks decades before. Off to South America we go.

The natives of the wilds in what would later be known as the Amazon Basin had an extremely difficult time surviving the grueling, thick, sticky climates born of their region. Daytime hours were difficult enough, but at least they could see the bugs and stand out of the moisture. When nighttime hours came creeping in, the peoples were simply mauled by both the dampness and the enormous numbers of potentially deadly insects. The origin of the double hammock lay here, in this uncertain and miserable environment, when getting off the ground and covering up every body part meant the difference between survival or death.

There are many ancient forms of hammock making, each stemming from its own tropical region of the earth. Venezuelan, or jungle hammocks, are usually constructed to repel insects and rain, and as such are more like suspended, breathable tents. In Mexico, the origin of hammocks is accredited to the Caribbean, and later perfected on the Yucatan, where the peoples turned the hammock and hammock stand into a symbolic and cultural way of life. Often referred to as Mayan hammocks, these beautiful and intricate swings are not thought to be a part of Mayan culture at all, but adopted by the surrounding peoples after their demise.

The word Hammock has been grossly overused by the advertising industry. To be more accurate the Picture of a “hammock” has been glamorized by copywriters all around the world. What I would like you to picture for a second, is all those adverts of the beautiful blonde with her legs hanging over the side of a hammock, holding an umbrellered drink. Those pics really look great, don’t they? Makes you put your hand over your heart and say wow, I wish I was there.

Those pictures are all alike. Why the real truth is not shown beats me. The reality is so much better. The ad guys could still use the blond if they wanted to, but she would be a little more comfortable, and probably be in the hammock with two kids and a dog. Probably two dogs and a kid, and her hair tied up, with wine in her hand instead.

I really need to tell you guys a confusing story, so here goes. Back in the days when I used to set up my hammock display stall at a show, festival or music festival, I learned a great deal of stuff. I used to build up a temporary gazebo out of poles and took along a big variety of types of hammocks and hammock chairs. Firstly it is safe to say that about half of the world has no interest at all in hammocks. (Silly fools.)  Secondly that half won’t let their spouses buy one from me. Ha ha, joking. Nahh, where I really am going here with this story is that most people are so taken in by the advertising that they want a hammock for that image. And then they buy one, get home, and never hang it up – ever. I cannot fully explain why their thread of holiday-hammock-dream disappears, but it does. When I meet them again two years later they admit that they have never hung up their hammock. I have tried to confiscate those hammocks from them, but then they swear that they will go straight home and hang it up. Hmmm.

I am really pleased to tell you that generally when people buy a single point hammock chair they do tend to hang those up, and really use them. I have been doing the hammock thing for about 14 years and I love hearing the fun stories that people tell me. The family parties, fishing stories, freezing winter nights spent in a hammock alone in a caravan park – all great stories. The best part is that if you use your own hammock on a regular basis you will build up a host of brilliant memories.

I know that my regular friends and family are gonna groan when I tell you this next one, but I am still going to do it. Here is what I want everybody to start doing. Today. Break up your routine. And as soon as you start to get into a routine, break it up again. And involve your hammock in your life more often. Now the reason for this is that it slows down life. I promise you. It is routine that causes you to stand still and say – what, wasn’t it Monday just yesterday?

Now this is the important part. You must break up your routine by abusing time also. A good example of this is, get up 2 hours earlier in the morning for a month, and try one of these two things. Or muddle them up and do both. The first is to simply make up a flask of hot chocolate or coffee and simply cuddle up in your hammock, with your partner (preferably outside) and talk, while the sun comes up. If you do this without a time pressure you will find that you will be at peace with your day when it finally starts. The other option is to switch your bigger meal to breakfast, and make a festival out of a sunrise breakfast. This one works great if you are able to get the kids into the idea.

I could talk hammocks all day.

A hammock swing without anyone sitting in it looks much like a hanging bundle of ropes. It can be hard to envision anyone sitting in one with any degree of comfort, but even though it looks weird once you are swinging snuggly in its confines it is a truly comfortable and relaxing way to spend a quiet afternoon. So if you are thinking of purchasing one don’t be put off by the appearance, a hammock swing is a great addition to anyone’s deck or patio.

As with just about everything else there are several different varieties of hammock swing on the market today. A basic no frills model basically looks like someone took a regular hammock and folded it in half and that could very well be where the idea for this type of hammock came from. In the center of this folded hammock is a basket. This basket is where you site and enjoy the gentle swaying of your new hammock swing. These types of swings are the least expensive.

At the upper end of the hammock swing price continuum is the “Air Chair”. These are truly the luxury models in the hammock swing world and consist of a bucket seat made of cloth that is suspended by an intricate system of rope supports, wooden bars and cloth coverings. The “Air Chair” takes the concept of the hammock swing one step farther by offering the option of a foot rest much like you would find on a recliner. There’s nothing quite like kicking back on a warm summer evening and putting your feet up.

Hammock swings for the most part are not very expensive. The more cushy “Air Chairs” are the most expensive and depending on which model you decide on could cost as much as $200. The simpler versions of the hammock swing will run anywhere from $50 to $100, again depending on which brand and style you decide to get. Once you’ve made your choice the outcome is the same, hours spent relaxing on warm summer nights in your new hammock swing.
