Jules. Posted November 21, 2007 Share Posted November 21, 2007 (edited) I have just had an email from this company- I have had my hammock from them for 8 years now, it's brill & fits 5 in it. I have two perfectly distanced trees in my garden, one a laurel & one which is some kind of willow ( the one on the right of my gallery pictures). We had a big laugh one time when the laurel branch we had attached it to snapped -when we were all in it Anyway, they are a good company if anyone was thinking of getting a hammock from Father Christmas. http://www.hammocks.co.uk/testindex5.htm?specials.htm Edited for spelling Edited November 21, 2007 by Guest Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Olly Posted November 21, 2007 Share Posted November 21, 2007 They look lovely. Unfortunately the perfectly-spaced trees in my garden are right where the Eglu goes in summer! I've always wanted a hammock since I was a kid, don't know quite why but it always sounds really romantic. I can't imagine ever having time to lounge in it, though!

Jules. Posted November 21, 2007 Author Share Posted November 21, 2007 I love mine- it hasn't had that much use this summer though I always wanted one as a child too, I have some friends who were in the army in Germany & they had a hammock hung in their attic When we moved here 8 years ago I got my hammock the first Christmas we were here so I could use it in the next summer. Our old back garden was tiny & sloped alarmingly upwards- no trees either. I could have got a hammock stand but it would have taken over the patio.

craftyhunnypie Posted November 21, 2007 Share Posted November 21, 2007 At first, I thought this thread was about bras! My sister brought me back a wonderfu hammock from Mexico in July. I need to buy a frame for it next year as all our trees are around the perimeter of our garden & the holly trees are more like a hedge in the back garden. I don't fancy trying to find a thick branch amongst the prickles to tye the hammock to! Will be great fun trying to get in it!

The Dogmother Posted November 21, 2007 Share Posted November 21, 2007 I used to have a hammock at my folks house when I lived at home - they have an enormous garden and loads of tree. Not enough room or trees in my garden now though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
little chickadee Posted November 21, 2007 Share Posted November 21, 2007 (edited) I've got a hammock in my living room (we tie it up out of the way when we're not using it. I wanted one for my garden but looked at this website http://hammocks.co.uk/ and they have loads of pictures of hammocks in living rooms. We've had it for a couple of years now and it's fabulous. ooh - just realised that's the same website as was mentioned in the first post!!

Richard Posted November 23, 2007 Share Posted November 23, 2007 I've had a hammock for the last 6 or 7 years. its great and has a metal stand that it hooks to and swings in. I think I've used it all of three times. Hammocks great, stand is great - but where do you find the time to spend in it? Maybe when I retire. By which time the rope will have perished and the stand will have rusted away. I want to stay at home rather than having to go out to work!
