Hidden Hazards To Your Rope Hammock

An outdoor rope hammock is vulnerable to many things--the elements, mold and mildew, plus everyday wear and tear. There are ways to combat all of these for longer wear, but there are also hidden dangers to your hammock you should be aware of. Do you live in an area where squirrels or other rodents are plentiful? If you feed these animals in your back yard, your rope hammock could wind up being chewed beyond repair. The best way to avoid this from happening is simply to not feed the animals in your back yard. If you have already gotten in the habit, your best bet may be to bring your rope hammock indoors every single night to avoid giving temptation to hungry critters.
