You don’t have to spend your summer living in a dacha or at some “country house” with a vast yard overlooking a placid river in order to enjoy the amazing relaxation of swinging in a hammock. A rope hammock is not only one of the nicest ways to sit and chill, but it’s also arguably the easiest type of seat and/or bed to pack up and carry with you. Portability is, after all, part of why hammocks were created in the first place, and why they found such use on boats and on the stereotypical tropical island beaches. These rope hammocks can make your backyard, deck or patio a far more inviting place to hang out, as well as give you a comfortable place for your summer reading.
