I know you are looking for hammocks, which I am not, but hear me out.

Probably overpriced like everything else there but it's the only store I've seen that deals in them normally. 4/25/2011 7:37:20 PM |

My family bought one from Hatteras Hammocks years and years ago. That bitch lasted A LONG time. Obviously you should take it in when there's bad weather, etc. I don't have any testimonial on their stands though, as we always hurt trees to put our hammocks up.

this is relevant to my interests
i want another hammock. the last one i had was extremely cheap & it snapped in half when my brother got in it one day.
what's the best option for rain/mold/rot resistance? i'd be putting it away but just in case i forget or it's really humid in the storage room & rots anyway. 4/25/2011 8:02:45 PM |

i live near pensacola, fl right now so its not likely that i would order from NC unless i really really wanted it. i was just thinking of going to home depot and getting one.
but yea, what will be more comfortable and last longer:
the cotton rope ones or the one that has a mat or cloth body. if you have no idea what i mean, just search hammocks on homedepot.com 4/25/2011 10:19:25 PM |

though not the rope type, ive owned two Eagles Nest Outfitters hammocks and loved them. they don't weigh anything and you can string one up almost anywhere http://www.eaglesnestoutfittersinc.com/ 4/26/2011 6:27:08 AM |

Rope hammocks look the best, but they are far from the most comfortable.
I had a rope hammock for a little while (expensive Pawley's Island one), didn't enjoy laying in it that much, sold it in on craigslist and got a new hammock that I would like to sleep in every night.
Wish I could tell you more about the one I do have, but my girlfriend got it in Aruba and it doesn't have any tags on it. It's a lot smaller than the rope, but we can still fit two small people in it (she's 5'3" and I'm 5'8") comfortably.
Did some searching...it's like this one, but smaller:
No bars, just cloth and rope at the end. Love it. 4/26/2011 7:21:40 AM |
