| For me, the notion of summer is synonymous with outdoor living and enjoying the beauty I have surrounding me in my lovely rural New Hampshire abode. What better way is there for a confirmed lazybones like me to relax in the breezy stillness of the evening than to wile away the hour or so before suppertime in my new Hatteras Hammock? I am a recent convert to it now that I can enjoy the hammock in the comfort of my screened-in farmers' porch, and the Labrador Retrievers sometime think I am a playful target they can pester to their hearts' content as I attempt to snooze for a while. It does indeed provide the stealthy napper with a perfect escape, quite relaxing with a gentle swinging motion and a lovely free-floating mid-air suspension that seems to float you as you slowly swing, or not. Sailors never had it so good! The hammock is very sturdy and quite well made, made from a quilted fabric that is both weather-resistant and 100 percent durable polyester rope. It also features solid oak spreaders for strength and flexibility in the fabric, and well-manufactured double zinc-plated hardware for hanging the hammock itself. It is large enough to snuggle in with a companion or a grandchild, and I have had a furry friend jump up to join me a few times as well, although they tend to not appreciate its swinging motion a great deal. With care and winter storage, this hammock should last the intrepid afternoon snoozer with a perfect escape from the cares of the world for years and years to come. Enjoy! |
