Enjoy all this and more while lounging in your comfortable poolside/beach hammock.

Hammock types
Any hammock is adequate for the beach or poolside, but the sun and salt in the air can deteriorate a traditional hammock quicker than if you were using it in your home. With the wind damage and the moisture that goes along with beach and pool areas, it is probably a good idea to select a hammock that has been constructed specifically for use at the pool or beach.

Pool / beach hammocks usually are made of a tighter weave than other styles. Vinyl coated polyester rope is usually used to make these hammocks because it which will tolerate saltwater and moisture more than cotton will. The polyester fibers of today are strong and durable, while also being soft and smooth. The protective coating on these hammocks also protects the material from the damaging rays of the sun. It also helps keep the fibers strong and keeps the colors vibrant. Polyester fibers are also resistant to mold and mildew which can sometimes be a problem in damp areas.

It is best to choose a breathable fabric or fibers. Breathable fabrics won't hold in moisture and won't get too hot in the sun.
