What Does It Look Like?

When anyone mentions a double wide rocking hammock, the first question on people's minds is “What does it look like?” That's a reasonable question, given that many people have yet to see a double rocking hammock, and even a double hammock chair, and even less have experienced one relaxing in one on the patio or by the pool.

A double wide rocking hammock is low to the ground. When it is just sitting there, the middle is about 15” off the ground. The foot is only 11” from the ground. The head is higher, 23” from the ground, because of the built-in pillow for your head to rest on. There is a metal frame to keep the rocking hammock open – so you won't be falling out as you get into the hammock. Usually the hammock has a strong, heavy duty steel frame that can hold the weight of two people – or one large person. Maximum recommended weight is 500 lbs.

A double wide rocking hammock is wide enough for two people, with the fabric being about 57” wide. As for length, does 79” sound like enough for you?

Double rocking hammocks are usually made of a polyester mesh fabric so that they can be left out of doors for a while. The polyester fabric is vented so that it will be breathable and keep you cool and dry. It is soft, non-absorbent, UV resistant and weatherproof so it can stay outside by the pool if you'd like. It will resist mildew and can handle almost anything the weather can throw at it. You can leave it out in the sun, perhaps on the porch, as it will be resistant to fading.

Fortunately, you don't have to leave the double wide rocking hammock in one place, because it is also a rolling hammock. It comes with wheels so that it is easy to roll to wherever you want it to be.

Buying a double rocking hammock doesn't have to put you in the poorhouse. At only about $200, it can be a piece of furniture for your yard that everyone will enjoy.
