A hammock is the ultimate symbol of relaxation in the garden. Gently sway back and forth and enjoy a lazy afternoon outdoors. At Boender Outdoor you'll find hammocks in various styles — from classic rope hammocks to modern fabric models. Combine with a hanging chair for the complete relaxation area.
Why a hammock?
- Ultimate relaxation — the rocking motion has a soothing effect
- Compact and foldable when not in use
- Ideal for garden, terrace, balcony or camping
- Available with or without stand
- Promotes better blood circulation through the lying position
- Perfect for power naps and reading in the open air
Types of hammocks
- Classic rope hammock: breathable, traditional look, ideal in warm weather
- Fabric hammock: soft cotton or polyester, greater lying comfort
- Hammock with spreader bars: stays open for easy entry
- Hammock with stand: free-standing, no trees or walls needed
- Travel hammock: ultra-light and compact, ideal for camping
Hammock vs. hanging chair
In a hammock you lie horizontally; in a hanging chair you sit upright. A hammock is ideal for sleeping or lying out flat. A hanging chair is better for reading or chatting. Combine both for maximum flexibility in your garden.
What to consider when buying a hammock
- Installation: choose a free-standing model with stand if you don't have sturdy trees or beams
- Weight capacity: most hammocks support 100-200 kg — check this for two-person use
- Material: polyester is weather-resistant; cotton is softer but less suitable for outdoor use
- Size: a wider hammock (150+ cm) is more comfortable — you can lie diagonally
The best spot for your hammock
Hang your hammock in a sheltered spot, preferably in partial shade. Between two sturdy trees is a classic choice. No trees? Choose a hammock with stand. Combine with a parasol for flexible shade. Add a cushion for extra head support.
Maintenance
Bring your hammock indoors during prolonged rain. Cotton hammocks are usually washable at 30°C. Rinse polyester with water. Use a protective cover or store it dry over winter.

Frequently asked questions
How much space do I need for a hammock?
For a hammock with stand you need a minimum of 3-4 metres length and 1.5 metres width. Between trees, allow for 3-5 metres distance. The ideal hanging height is 1.5-2 metres.
Is a hammock good for your back?
Yes, provided you lie in it diagonally. By lying at an angle in a hammock, you distribute your weight evenly. This relieves the spine and can reduce back problems.
Can two people use a hammock?
Yes, a double hammock is wider (160-180 cm) and has a higher weight capacity (200+ kg). Always check the maximum weight capacity in the product specifications.
What's better: a hammock with or without spreader bars?
With spreader bars, the hammock stays open and is easier to get into. Without spreader bars, the hammock embraces you more and the risk of tipping is lower. It's a matter of preference.
Can a hammock stay outside?
Polyester hammocks can stay outdoors in good weather. During prolonged rain or in winter, it's better to store them indoors. Always store cotton hammocks in a dry place.
How do I hang a hammock?
Between two trees: use sturdy tree straps. On a wall or beam: use special hammock brackets with fixings suitable for the weight. Or choose a hammock with stand — then you don't need to drill.
What's the difference between a hammock and a hanging chair?
In a hammock you lie horizontally and can sleep in it completely. A hanging chair is for sitting upright and swinging. A hammock has two suspension points; a hanging chair has only one.
How do I clean a hammock?
Cotton hammocks can be machine washed at 30°C. Rinse polyester with a garden hose and mild soap if needed. Allow to dry completely before storing to prevent mildew.
