Add Summer Sizzle to Your Outdoor Time With Mayan Hammocks and Mexican Serapes
As summer approaches, people are preparing their backyards and gardens to enjoy the lazy days of summer. Weeding and planting the garden, trimming the hedges, and getting the outdoor furniture out of storage is underway. This is the time to get your patio ready too. This preparation gives you more quality relaxing time at home. A great patio doesn’t only please you, but it also offers you a place to entertain your guests.
The essential outdoor furniture that you can’t do without is a Mayan hammock. Mayan hammocks are a great addition for any patio, garden or backyard. Mayan hammocks spice up a place with their vibrant colors and unique seating or lounging style. Mayan hammocks often conjure up romantic visions of the beach with palm trees and the soothing music of the waves lapping at the shore. You can be on vacation year round when you add a Mayan hammock to your backyard, garden or patio area. You instantly create an aura of sophistication within that space.
Mayan hammocks mimic the traditional Mayan hammock weaving construction of tightly wound thread, but with several changes, making the hammocks more comfortable. They are much larger so people can really spread out and get comfortable. When considering a Mayan hammock, you only need to know one thing – the bigger the better! Size really does matter. The bigger the Mayan hammock, the more threads you have, and the tighter the weave is. You also enjoy a broader center of gravity for greater comfort. Many thin threads make a more comfortable hammock than fewer thick threads. It's simple physics. Stretched out in a single or a double, the weave will be pulled further apart and you will have fewer threads under you.
Hammocks can be hung anywhere in the backyard or garden. They also make a great addition to your patio or overlooking the pool. The traditional way to hang a Mayan hammock is to string it between two trees or posts. With smaller outdoor spaces and limited backyard foliage, it’s possible your home may not have large enough trees for this purpose. The solution to this is a hammock stand. A hammock stand enables you to place your Mayan hammock wherever you want. This way, you can place your beautiful Mayan hammock next to the pool under a patio umbrella.
Mayan hammocks can also be decorated with pillows or Mexican serapes blankets. Serapes are handmade colorfully striped cotton blankets. Spread out a serape before you get into in your Mayan hammock. For even more outdoor style lay one out on the grass for an afternoon snooze or picnic. These colorful Mexican serapes can also be used indoors to add a Mexican decorative flair to tables, furniture and beds.
Mayan hammocks with their vibrant colors and seductive charms, add a unique decorative touch to any backyard or garden environment. Despite the size of Mayan hammocks when stretched out, even the largest ones pack up small and light always ready for the beach, picnic or backpacking. This makes Mayan hammocks and Mexican serapes truly versatile outdoor accessories that can add distinct flair to your backyard or for a great day at the beach or a weekend of camping.
 All our Mayan hammocks are all hand-woven by Mayan women in Mexico. They are made using traditional Mayan hammock weaving methods in villages all over the Mexican Yucatan peninsula. More than 500 families living in remote villages in theYucatan Peninsula of Mexico participate in the program. These high quality Mayan hammocks are handmade and are hand woven of 100% cotton cord with nylon end strings.
The women make the Mayan hammocks in order to supplement their family incomes. The Mayan are often discriminated against, face economic challenges and limited job opportunities. Since the work is done at home, working conditions are better than in factories. In this way the women can work from home and take care of their children at the same time. Since the Mayan women work for themselves, they have no one to report to and can take care of their families. When they have finished weaving a Mayan hammock, they deliver them to our hammock distributor who ships them directly to you.
