Can anyone recommend a Hammock (for the garden)?

[JamieJocelynJoyce]

I fancy one for the garden this year. We have two trees it can go between so no need for a frame. Any recommendations?

Thanks.

Amazon have a good selection. Got ours from there but can't remember the make. It's a double one and it was about £70 I think.

Ha! I went straight to amazon when I started looking but as ever there are just soooo many products/reviews I didn't know where to start! Is yours cotton or parachute material? Also does it have a bar across the end?

I saw some in 'Tiger' the other day. lovely, brightly coloured woven cotton.

they were £15 each.

have tried to link to their website but they don't seem to be on there.

Hi again, just had a look at ours it's an Amazonas, Brazilian made and it's really thick cotton. It wasn't supplied with bars or any fixtures at all. We had to buy hooks for it as we have it across two walls. I would get bars though, whilst ours is comfortable you do feel like it's eating you!

LOL! Thanks MrsNec, duly noted!
Chim char - I don't have a tiger near me unfortunately :-(

We have a beautiful one from the Mexican Hammock Company, based in BristoI. It is insanely comfy but not good for kids to leap about on in case they snag it.
Depends slightly on your budget though as they are £££ compared to the Tiger one.

I've got a beautiful
Hammock, I bought it when I was a teenager, and other than a brief spell between about 16 and 18 I've never lived anywhere where there was somewhere to hang it :(

I've planted some trees now we own our own place, but I think it'll be about 10 years before they're big enough to support my weight.

So sad. I love hammocks
