While we are in this winter season, we can't always be enjoying our Hammocks. We can however add some heat to our Patio with Patio Heaters. There are Table Top Propane Powered Heaters and Tall Standing Propane Powered Heaters. Both work reasonably well depending on your situation. For those of you who have a more covered/enclosed patio, there are also Wall-Mounted Infrared Heaters. Along with the heaters you can also get covers for when they are not in use.
Back by popular demand are our Hammock and Stand Sets that are sure to please. Currently our Hammock and Stand Sets are on special at 40% off Retail. Our South Beach Hammock Stand is made of weather resistant Eucalyptus wood, a reasonably priced alternative to Teak and 10-20% more dense. The curved arc design exudes hints of tropical south beach architecture. This stand is not only good looking, but the most stable and sturdy stand available.

Even though there's snow here in CT - it's never too far from my thought that it may soon become time to camp. What better a way to camp than in a Mayan Hammock. Yes, the "traditional" way of camping is in a tent on a mattress or in a sleeping bag, but I believe the "new" way to camping is in a hammock. It cradles your body so you can have a good nights sleep.
You're sure to find 2 trees to hang A Mayan Hammock from while camping. And you can likely fit more than one person in this hammock from ClassyHammocks.com.

| Caribbean Mayan Hammock |
The hammock was developed in Pre-Columbian Latin America and continues to be produced widely throughout the region. Though it is unknown who invented the hammock, many maintain that it was a device created out of tradition and need and used for sleeping or resting.
The English language derivation of hammock and various European equivalents is borrowed from the Spanish hamaca or hamac around 1700. Hammocks were first introduced in Europe by Christopher Columbus when he brought many hammocks back to Spain from islands in the present day Bahamas.
Mayan hammocks are made on a loom and are hand woven by men, women, and children. Hammocks are so symbolically and culturally important for the Yucatans that even the most humble of homes have hammock hooks in the walls; in rural El Salvador, a family home may have multiple hammocks strung across the main room, for use as seating, as beds, or as sleep-swings for infants.
Styles:
Current popular hammock styles include Spreader-bar (Jumbo Hammocks, Rope Hammocks, Hammock Chairs and Mayan Hammocks. Each style is distinctive and has its own set of advantages and disadvantages. Many hammocks come in a variety of colors, patterns and sizes ranging from a one person to two or three person. Common dimensions for Spreader-bar and Mayan hammocks fall in a range between 11' and 14' across and 6' to 11' wide.
The spreader-bar hammock is easily recognized by wooden or metal bars at the head and foot of the hammock, spreading its width and allowing for easy access. This style is generally considered less stable and less comfortable for sleeping than other styles. Some are made of cotton and some are made of weather resistant soft-spun polyester. Whether you enjoy it by yourself or with the entire family, you are sure to relax and enjoy!
The Mayan hammock is similar in form, but differs by material and construction. The mayan hammock is made from either cotton or nylon strings that are woven to form a supportive net. Mayan hammocks are considered by some to have the potential to be more comfortable than others as they cradle your body.
