Swinging in the open allows you to enjoy the outdoor weather in comfort. To thoroughly enjoy yourself you should use a hammock made from the right fabric.
Common Fabrics Used In Making Hammocks
Hammocks are made from different materials. The most common ones are:
Cotton: it's breathable and comfortable to rest on. While it's very comfy, it's main flaw is that it's not weather resistant; therefore, you shouldn't leave it outside in bad weather.
Polyester: it's very durable and weather resistant thus you can leave it outside. Well made polyester hammocks are very comfortable.
Canvas: these are the most durable option as they are very weather resistant.
How To Hang An Outdoor Hammock On A Tree
For you to rest without worry you should ensure that your hammock is properly installed. To help you out here is what you need to do in order to ensure that you properly install the hammock on the tree:
You should start by finding a tree branch that will be able to safely suspend the outdoor hanging chair. For ideal results you should go for a branch that is strong enough to support your weight. When it comes to width, you should go for a branch that is about 5 inches or more in diameter.
You should then measure the length of the chain that you need to support the chair. To get the right measurements you should measure the distance from the suspension point on one side of the chair to the suspension point on the other side of the chair.
To protect the tree branch from being damaged by the chain you should slip the chain inside the tubing in order As rule of thumb you should ensure that the length of the plastic tubing is wide enough to easily fit the sleeve around the chain.
You should then find the middle of the chain and hang it on the tree branch until it hangs down on the right side of the branch. You should then attach the quick links to the rings on the swing chair.
Conclusion
This is what you need to know about outdoor hammocks. When buying the units always go for those that are weather resistant. If you are looking for a comfy unit you should go for a cotton hammock. For it to last for a long time you should ensure that you never leave it outside-you should always put it inside your house immediately after use. Dan Lancer
