Sunday, 11 October 2009 10:00:00 AM Australia/Brisbane

The Resort Style Hammock, also known as a American hammock is a great variation on the Mayan Mexican Hammock. While the original Mayan Hammocks are made entirely of cotton or nylon cord the Resort Style Hammock also has a bar of wood at each end called a spreader bar.  The purpose of this is to keep the hammock spread out sideways, which can make entering and exiting the hammock a bit easier.  It is also a very beautiful and decorative hammock that makes a great feature to any outdoor setting.
