Hammock Weekend
Well I was hoping the just gone weekend would have been a good one to lax out in the hammock all day! As often happens things come up and time disappears, but I did manage to get in a good 30 or so mins to relax and refresh. Hoping for some good weather to get in some more time soon.
Here is a good article on the reasons why you need a hammock.

Hammock Spot
If however you are totally sure there is no-where that you can currently hang your hammock then consider the option of a self standing hammock stand or hammock frame. If you find the right one these make a great addition to your outdoor seating, can provide a lovely feature, and most importantly give you a great portable spot to hang you hammock!
Consider what you want you hammock stand to be made from, metal, wood, a combination. Just ensure when you are choosing your frame that is will support the weight you require. Do you need extra strength so you can share with a partner? Also, consider where the stand will be, will it be subject to the elements, and if so will it rust or rot? Find out what care you stand needs so you can enjoy it for many years.
Hammocks Australia have recently made available great quality solid and strong Cypress Pine Hammock Stands. Available throughout Metropolitan Australia, so you can enjoy your hammock all spring and summer time.

Hammock Time in the Summer Time...
In the summer time when the weather is fine... For me it is also hammock time!
There is nothing better than taking a short break, or spending the whole day lounging around in a hammock. Grab a book, a drink, your phone (so you don't have to leave the hammock should it ring), and settle on down.
With a good quality hammock you should be able to spend hours at a time relaxing in your hammock and it should be good for you. Your body should be well and evenly supported at every point by the hammock. Quality hammocks such as hand-woven Mexican hammocks are some of best in the world for providing this full body support. Unlike the cheaper varieties that will quickly feel uncomfortable and awkward, a hand-woven Mexican hammock will provide perfect comfort hour upon hour and year after year.
The reason these hammocks are so good is due to the way in which they are hand-woven. Each hammock is individually handmade by a professional weaver who expertly diamond weaves the hammock. This type of interwoven pattern provides a very tight weave that provides great support, plus strenght, and also amazing comfort.
This is also a tradition of the Mayan Mexican people who have been making hammocks for thousands of years and have perfected the art. The skill is passed down through the generations keeping this great art alive.
So now the sun is out and it must be about time to go and get in a few hours of hammock relaxation. Want to know where you can get your own hammock? Available worldwide, and with free local shipping in the following countries.
