Afternoon Nap
, 04 26th, 2011
It’s great to relax in your backyard or even your front yard, just reading a book or watching the kids play in the neighborhood. There are a lot of ways that you can relax in your yard. Anywhere from lying on a blanket or sitting in a lounge chair.
The best way to relax is with outdoor hammocks. You can rock yourself to sleep and take a nap in the sun. You can accessorize your hammock as well. Put some throw pillows on it or maybe a blanket and you’ll feel as comfortable as if you where lying in your own bed. It is a perfect way to relax.
Hanging a Hammock
, 04 07th, 2011
Hanging a hammock doesn’t have to be a difficult activity. All you need are two sturdy trees or two sturdy posts at approximately 15 feet apart from one another. Trees are preferred, especially ones with high boughs, as they provide shade while you’re lounging.
Drill a hole five feet off the ground using a 3/8 inch drill bit. Take a ½ inch screw eye and hook and attach them tightly to the hole. Hang your hammocks on the hooks and get ready to lie back and relax. If your trees or poles are too far apart, add an S-hook or chain links for length.
