With its macramé edging and special Jacquard weave is a veritable gem for your home and garden. The Jacquard loom produces material that is softer and more comfortable - the ultimate in Brazilian craftsmanship.

This hammock is supplied in a smart bag of matching material and matching cushions are available as an optional extra (see options section below). This hammock would make a wonderful gift for a friend or relative.

Hammocks can be suspended from a frame or any two fixed points such as two trees, a building and a tree or a specially designed frame. The Rio looks particularly stunning with the Arcus frame as illustrated, but can also be used with the Gala or Olymp frames. To select the frame of your choice click in the Options section below.

Alternatively to suspend the Hammock between two fixed points we would recommend two of our adjustable weather proof Smart Ropes with snap hooks. Or if you require one end of the hammock to be connected to a building, you will require an Easy Plus fitting which is a wall mounted bracket with a snap hook supplied with screws and rawlplugs.

If you have just one fixed point, we recommend you select the Madera frame and one adjustable weather proof Smart Rope with snap hook. The Madera is securely anchored in the lawn with the special earth bolt; an adjustable rope ensures the correct lying position. The weather-proof hard wood frame becomes the new tree in your garden.

If the hammock is suspended on a frame and left outside you may wish to consider a weather proof Hammock Sock which is simply slipped over the hammock.

All these features are available from the options section below.

This hammock is made in Brazil where hammocks are still used as beds, as they always have been. This is the reason that they are as wide and comfortable as a bed! Even if you are only going to use your hammock for relaxation, you should still try to adopt the Brazilian way of lying (diagonally across the hammock - not straight along it). Contrary to European ideas, hammocks are not hung taut.

The most important thing is to arrange the hammocks suspension loops at head height, and only some 3m distant from each other, thereby allowing the hammock to hang down in a deep arc. This then allows a diagonal lying position (from corner to corner), which keeps the back straight and is the secret of being able to lie comfortably and relaxed for hours on end in a hammock.
