I love hammocks!

Honestly, there is nothing better in the world than laying in a hammock (with or without someone next to you) on a warm spring or summer day as the stresses of the world just go away! Some of the best naps I have had were in hammocks and I am a big advocate of everyone household having one.

 Now, normally when we get a hammock we set it up by utilizing the trees, straps, and using either nylon or canvas that you either purchased or if you're a hardcore DIY'er one that you have made. We spend out time and money on these products only to face one inevitable “con”……the rain!  The biggest problem with this is that as it continues to rain the ties and straps can get soaked which results in the water dripping into the hammock.

Now you shouldn't have to set your hammock under a shelter or spend time worrying about your straps letting loose due to water saturation.

 So, on the next page, we have a great tip for solving this problem. It’s simple and we really are surprised we did not think of this before!
