Our Hammocks provide the maximum relaxation,so let the fine swinging motion and everlasting floating midair begin

Height
Above the Ground
The
action of getting into or out of a hammock can
be a moment of great instability since the user
can easily loose their balance (see below). The
unoccupied hammock therefore should not be set
up higher than the waist height of the user. The
height should be readjusted if shorter people,
such as young children, subsequently use the hammock.
Trying to get in and out of a hammock above one's
waist height requires jumping up or leaping down,
which is very dangerous and can lead to personal
injury and/or damage to the hammock.
Tipping
Over
The
tendency of some hammocks to tip over while being
occupied has been mentioned in an earlier websection.
The Speer hammocks, based on the design given
in this website, are not prone to overturning
during normal use such as sitting, lounging or
sleeping. In fact, they are amazingly stable without
the tipsy feelings inherent to some other hammocks.
In any event, with effort the hammocks can be
leaned over enough to release the occupant; learn
where the tip-over point is and avoid leaning
beyond it.
