Selecting a Hammock Stand
A wooden hammock stand will provide a definite elegance to any deck or patio, while the steel hammock stands are more popular. The wooden hammock stand is less durable than the steel hammock stand, and there are more styles and kinds of wood to select from so you have more of a variety to select from.
Like steel hammock stands, wooden hammock stands provide a person a selection of where to put the hammock. You don’t have to worry about falling objects such as acorns and bird dropping, unlike your neighbors who decide to go conventional and simply tie their hammock by using two parallel trees for posts. But, it is certainly less expensive than buying a hammock stand than using two trees for posts. If you’re looking for it, it’s also conventional.
There are several kinds of hammock stands available to select from. Styles such as the classic frame, single arc, and bow arch are available. You can find all of these styles of hammock stands by searching the Internet. A hammock arc stand that is made from cypress can hold as many as two children and two adults. Many businesses offer many different wooden hammock stands and other kinds on their websites.
There are different kinds of wood to select from. Shorea, teak, and cypress wood are all resistant to inclimate weather. However, wood, much the same as decks made from wood need maintenance unlike the steel hammock stand. If it isn’t taken care of properly the neglect will show by naturally deteriorating.
Rather than placing a wooden hammock stand in a shady area where moisture might collect, they should be placed in the direct sunlight. All wooden hammock stands need to be treated with a coat of linseed oil for their protection although the cypress wood in the hammock stands have natural oils to resist moisture.
The selection of a steel hammock stand, or a wooden hammock stand, on tree and a post, or two trees is really a just a matter of what you can afford and aesthetics. If a homeowner wants to increase value of his house he should probably buy a wooden hammock stand for his patio. However, it’s also a matter of what he can afford.
Regardless of the kind of hammock stand you buy you need to enjoy it. A hammock is great to read a good book, listen to music, or watch a sunset or sunrise in. Your hammock won’t provide you with much enjoyment if you buy a hammock stand and then realize that you could have easily tied your hammock around a tree and a post and can’t pay your bills on time. You will wind up with a significant amount of stress, which isn’t what desired when all that you wanted to do was simply take a nap in your hammock in the hot summer months.
