Hammocks

[Wmcmanus]

I've been thinking about getting one for my back porch, which would probably stay there all year long.  Would be anchored in to cement columns so no need for something with a built in stand.  The porch isn't screened in, so it would attract bugs and dust, and would probably collect water as well.  Thus I'm leaning towards simple rope hammock.  No particular price point, just wondered if anyone has a hammock that they like to lounge in and would recommend.  

 

Some rather interesting products out there, ranging all over the place in terms of price:

I do like that chase lounge hammock (Outback Urban Balance Wave), but not sure I want to spend $540 so I guess I do have a budget, like something much less than that, maybe $200 or so.

 

Was going to call this Hammock-Fi but then said fuck it, too many Fi threads, that shit is getting lame.

today's amazon deal of the day might be relevant to you, Wayne.

That's what got me to thinking about it again.  The reviews left by people suggest that it's a good deal if you're 5'5" or shorter, and that has always been my biggest pet peeve about most hammocks I've lounged on at random over the years.  That and the big butt, big belly suck down in the middle effect, which is why the chase lounge looking thing is interesting, if it were not so expensive.
