1. For who is the hammock intended?
If your interested in a hammock for an adult, you should choose a "single" model, 3 to 3.3 feet in length and 1.2 to 1.4 meters in width. In turn, the family hammock should be much larger - from 4.5 meters high and about 2 meters wide. For a child there will be a suitable hammock with a length of 1.5 to 2.5 meters and a width of 1 to 1.5 meters. It is always better to choose a hammock that is slightly larger, because children are growing so fast that they can grow out of the hammock in a short time.
2. Do you want to sleep in a hammock or just relax?
If we are going to just rest in a hammock, you can choose a traditional type of hammock. In turn, if you want to not only relax in the hammock during the day, but also use it as a place to sleep, we have to invest in a suitable cover. We have a choice of mosquito nets to protect us from any insect attacking at night. There will also be a hammock-tent, which has additional waterproof roofing. Remember that the hammock during sleep should be hung 30-40 cm higher than in the afternoon siesta.
3. Where do you want to hang the hammock?
It is best to hang a hammock between two trees. This is the safest and most stable option. You can also buy a hammock stand, preferably wooden, because it is more stable. The hammock can also be attached to the hooks that you are punching into the wall on the porch.
