Neil Jones asked:


Hammocks are part and parcel of Brazilians’ lives. According to popular belief they were invented by the Indians of Brazil for the primary purpose of sleeping. They are hand woven in the northeastern Brazilian state of Ceara, where nearly 50% of the population has never slept in a bed, and always uses a hammock. A Garden Hammock offer multiple advantages like protection from crawling creatures and wet surfaces, saving space, and easy to store, besides offering tremendous comfort for rest and relaxation. Brazilian hammocks are very tightly woven out of 100% cotton fibre and the edges have a beautiful crocheted fringe. The bright colours and this style of adornment make them some of the most beautiful hammocks available in the world today. The art of making hammocks is passed on from one generation to the next and it provides employment to a huge chunk of the population in the state of Ceara. Though it is not unusual to find machine made hammocks, hand made ones can be recognized from a distance due to their outstanding beauty.

A Brazilian hammock is comfortable as a chair as well. The regular hammocks are without spreader bars, and the patterns used allow air ventilation from below even though the weave is tighter than hammocks made in other places. They are considered to be more appropriate for cooler climates and offer far more security for sleeping than the net varieties. However, it is not unusual to find hammocks made in Brazil with other features including spreader bars, net weaves instead of the thick tight traditional Brazilian weave. The stamp of Brazil comes from the crocheted edges that make each hammock seem to be a work of art. Brazilian hammocks are also bigger in size than other hammocks offering greater comfort. Traditionally Brazilians used to lie diagonally in hammocks and that gave more room for sleeping as the hammock spread out even more. It is for this reason that Brazilian hammocks are considered to be the best sleeping hammocks. They can easily qualify as family hammocks due to their large size.

The story of Brazilian hammocks begins at birth and goes on till the end of life. According to ancient Brazilian custom, a newborn baby was placed in a hammock and used one for the rest of his life. When he died, he was buried in his own hammock.

Brazilian hammocks are generally available in retail outlets selling travel gear and home accessories, and in plenty at various websites that offer them in all shapes, designs and colours. The advantages of ordering online are numerous, as the exact design can be seen in pictures before ordering, the shades can be selected along with the size specifications, and above all, many sites offer free shipping services in certain parts of the world.

An interesting name for Brazilian hammocks is the banana hammock or hamacas. They are strong and durable and can be used in verandahs and patios, indoors to substitute as a bed, for treks and camps, and can be conveniently rolled for travel purposes. They can be bought for single use or double and family use.

Agopi asked:


I’ve been sleeping in a hammock every night since about October. I switched one out with my regular bed. But sometimes I find myself slouching a lot more than usual, and I am very conscious of my back now. I’m always straightening it. Does anyone know if hammocks can harm the back? It’s a Mayan hammock, no bars, and I sleep in it so my back arches with the curve of the hammock.

rob anderson asked:


If you want to make your own hammock and you have not ever made one before, be prepared to make more than one. I have some very amusing memories as to how my first hammock manufacturing attempts went. If I remember correctly I think I even sold the second one. I hope they didn’t hurt themselves too badly.

Before you start the process you must make a decision as to which type of hammock you want to make. And a word of warning here. If you are going to do this project as a labor of love, then great carry on, but if you are doing this to save money – beware. You are unlikely to save money doing it yourself. I am not joking. Experience has taught me that about 75% of all first hammocks break tear or collapse in the first minutes of use. However if you are doing it to startup a hammock business, then you need that failure experience. It will stand you in good stead in the future.

The most popular type of hammock is the standard type of two point canvass or rope style. These are probably also the easiest to make. Most of these are so basic that all you really need is 2 meters of fabric and 2 poles.  You need to consider the hammock chair type of hammocks, and the very popular hiking and camping types. Once you have a good idea as to which general direction you want to go in, you must break down the details even further.

You will need to decide on whether to go for lightweight or for heavier padded or canvass types. This would depend on how portable you need the hammock to be. If you are going to manufacture it on the spot it is going to hang, you have no restrictions at all. You could use steel cable and chains. Then couple that up with chunky wood and industrial strength canvass. My opinion is you would end up with a great looking avant-garde industrial hammock. Whether it will be comfortable or not is a good question.

Perhaps the best advice I could give you is to use the following items and to keep the whole process as simple as possible. So, get some ripstop nylon, also known as parachuting fabric, do not get the crackly type. It must feel soft and silky to the touch. Some of the “crackly” types have been treated or have had a backing attached and you might find it is weakened a bit.  Then make sure that you do all the sewing with industrial cotton, and preferably on an industrial machine. Just one small tip here, take care it is important. Set your stitch length wide. If you have the stitches very tiny it creates the same effect as that “tear-along-the-dotted-line’ thing and you run the risk of tearing it easily.

On the hammock forum websites there are a lot of the guys that will give you detailed plans and measurements on specific types of hammocks. They are very often the suppliers or the clips and components of the things, and you will need to get those somewhere. They are a very friendly and helpful bunch of guys. Visit all the sites you can to see what types are available out there. If you feel confused at all, rather buy a hammock, hang it up and lie in it while you contemplate what to do next.

Zane Lowe asked:


There is plenty of information concerning ferret care, and there are also plenty of things you can purchase your ferret such as a fleece ferret hammock.

It’s very important for you to recognize that your ferret is just like you and will need fresh water and fresh food. Just like you, they don’t like to drink out of a dirty bowl so you’ll also have to clean your ferret’s water dish on a regular basis, after all, slime builds up fast.

Food is the same thing, no one likes dirty food, or likes to eat off of dirty dishes. Make sure you’re providing your ferret with clean food and a clean eating dish to eat out of.

The other thing you have to realize is that your ferret is going to have to defecate somewhere. Many people have found it easy to train ferrets to use something similar to a cat litter box. You’ll want a small one for the cage and you also have to clean that on a daily basis. Not only is it not fun for your ferret, but your family may complain of the smell.

Your ferret also needs veterinarian care. Not only do they need a yearly checkup, but they also will need vaccinations. It’s important that you find a vet near by and that they are familiar with treating ferrets so that you can maintain their health.

You’ll enjoy shopping online for your ferret and you’ll find a variety of different types of walking harnesses, toys, dishes, and sleeping items such as a fleece ferret hammock.

Galia Ivanova asked:


Nothing says summer like a warm day spent relaxing in a cozy hammock, gently swaying with the breezes, enjoying a cool drink and a novel or magazine.

Many of us dream of this setting, but lack the necessary yard or evenly spaced trees to make a hammock part of our summer relaxation.

The right stand can make a hammock part of your dream come true this summer. Selecting a stand is easy. But first you have to start with the hammock.

What kind of hammock do you have - or do you wish to purchase? There are three basic kinds: (1) ones made of cotton or nylon rope or cord. These have a ‘knitted’ or ‘crocheted’ look made of many knots of cord or rope; (2) those constructed of a solid sheet of fabric, and (3) the heavier fabric versions that are a bit puffy or quilted. While choosing a stand for any of these hammock types, there are two primary considerations: how is the hammock hung and what is its length? Hammocks hang by two types of hardware: rings or spreader bars. Certain stands are designed for each type, so choose carefully.

Check the length and width of your hammock as well when choosing a stand. Make sure the stand is made to handle a hammock of the length you desire so that it hangs on the stand neither too low or too high.

Now that you know the size of stand that you need, let’s look at stand types.

Do you want your hammock to stay in one location or will you wish to move it from one spot to another in your yard or on your deck? Portability is an important consideration when choosing a hammock stand - and many models either come with wheels or have a wheel kit that you can choose when ordering.

Most hammock stands are made of two basic materials: metal or wood.

Metal stands are usually made of stainless steel - which is strong and durable. Often these types of stands are powder coated with a rust-proof paint and come in a variety of colors to match your outside décor. Metal stands are the most affordable choices and often come in pieces, which means they are easier to store at the end of the summer season. Metals stands run from $US 89 to $US 200.

Wooden stands are beautiful as well as functional, but often are not easy to store and so by default are mostly chosen by people who live in climates where you can use a hammock stand all year round. This year round use also justifies the additional expense. Most wooden stands start at $US450 and come in a variety of woods and finishes. One of the most popular is the Hammaka Arc Hammock (retail $US600) which is constructed of durable birch wood, and comes with UV protection and is also waterproofed. A wooden stand of this type typically weighs over 100 lbs (an important consideration if the company does not offer free shipping) and has a weight capacity of 450 lbs. It is only compatible with spreader bar hammocks.
