Brazilian Hammock: Uniquely Beautiful, Comfortable Indoors or Out

May 12th, 2009    Subscribe To Our Feed

A Brazilian hammock is a non-spreader bar style hammock that is typically hand-woven from cotton. The bed of the hammock is tightly woven into a thick fabric, making it different from most mesh hammocks. This lovely fabric may be embellished with elaborate fringe on the sides, creating a highly unique look. The solid weave minimizes air flow through the hammock and this makes the Brazilian hammock ideal for cooler climates or cool evenings outdoors.

Why Consider A Brazilian hammock?

Aside from their beauty, Brazilian hammocks are wonderful for families with small children, as the closed weave eliminates the chances of little hands and feet becoming caught in the hammock. As a non-spreader bar type hammock, the brazilian style hammock is a perfect candidate for a hammock bed. In fact many people believe these hammocks make the best hammock beds. The cotton fabric is not easily snagged, enhancing the Brazilian hammock’s durability. Cotton conforms to the body, making these hammocks v-e-r-y comfortable.

You can use a Brazilian hammock indoors or outside. Be aware that this cotton hammock will need protection from the elements if used outdoors. Because cotton absorbs moisture very easily, it is prone to mildew and rot. Consider purchasing a protective storage sleeve (shown below at right in blue) for your lovely outdoor Brazilian hammock, hang it in a sheltered area, or simply bring it indoors in damp weather. This may be just what you need to give your garden, patio or bedroom that tropical look. Check into a Brazilian hammock for your home or backyard today.

Image via WikipediaIf you’re looking to remake your yard, researching on the ‘net should provide you with lots of great landscaping ideas. With hammocks as a part of the plan you can create something that not only adds to your yard’s beauty, but enhances your personal health and well being by providing a safe and peaceful place to relax.

Hammocks in Landscaping

If you want to brainstorm on landscaping ideas with hammocks, the first thing you might want to consider is what a hammock does, what’s its function. A hammock is meant for relaxation, pure and simple.  Hung between two trees or on a stand, it generally is placed in a quiet, shady area away from the bustle and noise of the street.  You might even choose to distance it from the clamor and din of your family.

Successful landscaping ideas with hammocks embrace using the hammock in a way that reflects its nature and usage. You’ll want to locate the hammock in a place that is easy to access and use and easy to relax in.  Perhaps there’s soft grass, mulch or even pea gravel providing a “floor” for the outdoor space.  You could incorporate flowering trees or bushes, shade plants and small evergreens to accent and enhance the area. Plants that provide scent may add to the relaxing atmosphere.  To provide aural interest, wind chimes might be hung nearby.  Or perhaps a small garden fountain or water feature can provide soothing water sounds.  If your climate permits, you can think about plants that provide year-round interest.  When using hammocks in landscaping, the point is to create a place, an outdoor room where you feel comfortable relaxing completely in, with no cares or worries.

If you are concerned with insect pests, you can place some citronella candles or torches around where your hammock is going to be.  You may find that you are better able to relax.  The soft light is relaxing in and of itself.
