The Portable Hammock

The portable hammock can be a tricky buy, depending on what you expect from the product. If you are searching online, you will find a wealth of products that are basically a piece of fabric stretched across a support system. It is basically a self-contained unit and requires no hanging. Sometimes these portable hammocks are advertised as "beach hammocks". These designs are often rated for around 250 pounds, so it's important to check the label or FAQ page to see what an individual product is able to support. If you are looking for a more traditional style hammock you can take on the road, don't search for a portable hammock; instead use the phrase "camping hammock" to get the best results. Those who want the more self-contained version can hunt for "portable hammocks" or "beach hammocks".
