Macrame hammocks evolved from Mayan hammocks used by Mayan Indians over ten centuries ago. In fact the word ''hammock'' is derived from the hamack tree. Knotting of hammocks stated as a result of the invention of the ancient art of macrame. Macrame is when you tie lots of knots to make a hammock out of netting strong enough to hold the weight of a human being, or maybe even two. Below are important tips on this great art work:
1. Check the knots of the hammocks periodically, some knots can be weak and might just result into domestic accidents.
2. Macrame hammocks made of natural material like jute should not be left in the sun or cold weather, this can lead to deterioration. If they are for indoor use, delicate materials can be used. It is therefore crucial that you consider where you will place them before getting one.
3. You can measure the area to be used; this will help tremendously in getting the hammock to suit the intended area.
4. Carry out a thorough search on the kinds of colors that will suit your taste. The patterns are also of great importance.
5. Always remember to have a budget range of the kind of macrame hammock you need.
6. Select from the different materials like jute, nylon, yarn, cotton, flax linen cord, leather, etc
7. The weight you want the macrame hammock to carry should also be given utmost consideration. The trees or posts for supporting it should be strong and well built.
