Portable Hammock Availability
December 6th, 2007
Portable hammocks are still widely available, but big rope or string hammocks, wide enough for two, are more popular. They're cooler when it's hot, dry out more quickly when it rains, and generally stands up to outdoor conditions and use better than heavy canvas. Stout oak stretcher bars hold rope hammocks open, so you can lie in them lengthwise, just as you would in bed, but string hammocks are best for sleeping if you stretch out across their width. Naturally you'll want to have a few pillows for any hammock, and maybe a sheet or a cotton tablecloth to throw across the ropes. But if you give yourself a chance to adjust to lounging in a sling made of string, these hammocks are quite comfortable all by themselves.
