It can be left outside in drizzling rain or scorching hot sun, thanks to its Ell-Tex fabric construction. A special mix of polyester and cotton, it is very weatherproof, hardly fades and stays extremely tear-proof even after repeated exposure to heat and dampness. The Sumo Stand has adjustable length and is easy to assemble without tools.

Matching cushions are available as an optional extra (see options section below). This hammock would make a wonderful gift for a friend or relative.

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.

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 hammock's 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.
