The Hammock rates right at the top as the one piece of furniture that can be added to the garden environment to make the garden a place to enjoy and reflect on all of the hard work and days spent creating your beautiful retreat.
It is important to think about the style that will bring you the desired look and also provide comfort and ease of care so that you can actually sit back and enjoy an afternoon in the garden you have worked so hard to create.
If you want to leave your hammock in the outdoor space, unprotected, consider selecting a frame and also fabric that will be able to handle the elements. As in all furniture, there are many options for the frame, ranging from metal to warmer woods in teak and oak, to name a few.
For the fabric, Sunbrella, is the ultimate outdoor ready selection of choice. The fabric can be used with or without outdoor cushioning that can even be quilted and will provide good results against fading and resisting mildew with proper care for many years to come. New technology has provided a wealth of selections today including fabric that feels like suede, chenille, and even boucle yarns.
It’s hard to believe, but true, that these fabrics are meant to be used outdoors!
So, when your work in the garden is complete, you’ll be surprised at how work-free your furniture appointments can be, and don’t forgot to add a hammock. Your family will thank you!
