It is generally accepted that Mayan civilization made the first hammock around 1000 BC. And it was such a good and practical invention, that it spread all over the world with just a little adjustment, so today we have Mayan hammock, Brazilian hammock, Hennessy hammock and few other different styles. In the early days the hammocks served as a portable bed protecting people from bugs and moisture, but today their purposes are to offer us a blissful comfort and relaxation.
So, if you are lucky to have two trees in your backyard to hang on the outdoor hammock then a couple of ropes and few hammock pillows is all you need to start enjoying, but for the rest of us good solution is a hammock stand which allows you to move the hammock from place to place, or even to borrow it to some nice neighbors when throwing a summer party.
The measurements are given in millimeters, while the measurements given in inches are in brakes (1 inch = 25, 4 mm). You can use various types of wood, but we recommend birch, cedar, walnut, beech, maple, alder... Carefully make the items by following the measurements given on particular pictures.
