We are looking to buy a hammock for our back yard. My husband and I have two 6 1/2 year old twins, live in San Diego, so weather is not much of an issue (i.e. we can cover or bring it in if we get rain. Ideally, we would like something that could very very comfortably accomodate my husband, who is about 6 ft 5 in and I am 5 ft 10 in (so we're tall), and it would be even better if we could occasionally fit one or both of our crazy little ones on it as well. I have no idea how large these Hammocks can get and still be practically. We are in the process of planning our backyard, so are flexible with respect to the exact type and style at this point, however, we really want something that is attractive and is subtle/classy. It would also be helpful to have input regarding anything we should consider in planning the layout of our yard given our desire to have a hammock. Ultimately, we will have a grass area, 2 distince hard surface/patio areas, which may be connected by a somewhat wandering path of the same material used to make the patio/hard surface, and then some flowering garden areas, especially in those areas bordering the house and the separate unattached garage, which is incorporated in to the back of the yard, and is finished to match the siding on the house. Its all kind of a beach cottach feel; or that is our goal anyway. Thanks so much San Diego Family
