Hammocks
Hammocks and hanging seats for the patio, garden or camp. Choose from macrame, cotton, tassel and mesh hammock chairs, two-person hammock beds, egg swing chairs and swing benches with a canopy.
Colours include cream, grey, rainbow and latte. Many are sold with a steel or timber stand.
Should I get a hammock chair or a hammock bed?
Get a chair if you want to sit up and read, and a bed if you want to lie flat.

Do I need a hammock stand?
You need one if you have no strong beam or tree to hang from.
Stands come in steel, larch wood and a solid steel C-stand for swing chairs. Many hammock chairs are also sold as a set with a matching stand, which takes the guesswork out of fitting. Measure the footprint first, as bed stands need a long, level spot. There is also a blue timber hammock bed swing for kids.
How much weight can a hammock chair hold?
Many hammock chairs here list a 120kg maximum, and one steel bed stand is rated to 150kg.
Check the load in each listing, especially for two-seater chairs and hammock beds, and always test a new setup close to the ground.
Can I use a hammock chair indoors?
Yes, macrame and mesh chairs labelled indoor work well in a sunroom or bedroom.
Use a freestanding stand rather than drilling into a plaster ceiling. One iron stand even has a phone holder.
How do I care for a cotton hammock?
Bring cotton and macrame hammocks inside when it rains and let them dry fully before storing.
Mesh styles dry faster and are better for camping. Wipe down powder-coated stands and check bolts now and then.
Can I pay it off?
Yes. Pay with Afterpay or Zip, or check out with PayPal. A $148.69 macrame hammock chair with steel stand is four fortnightly Afterpay payments of $37.17.
Pair it with
- Shading – shade sails for the hammock spot
