When it comes to houseboat hammocks, or to swing on a hammock, it surely is best way to totally relax on house boats.


I first got a taste of hammocks when I was out camping as a kid, and found that the rocking motion to be a fantastic way to grab an excellent afternoon snooze. What better way to grab a snooze than to be gently swinging in the wind.

When it comes to houseboats, which have the ideal amount of space for a hammock, it just made sense to have one on board. You just never know when the urge to relax or grab a book might come over you :)

What Advancements in Hammocks Today?


Now I'm sure that most folks thinks of hammocks as the models that tie to trees, and that were hard to get in and out of. Well let me tell you, they have come a long way since than. They now have styles and models for any situation, application, and budget.

What to Look For in your Hammock?


Some of the major things to look at in one would be the comfort rating, its durability, is it fast drying, is it good for warmer or cooler climates, and is it kid friendly, or the number of people it can hold, and finally the weight capacity of the unit.
