Sleeping Purpose Hammock
File Name: 76702_hammock
Description: The hammock is used for swinging, sleeping, or resting, made of a fabric sling suspended or stretched between two points. It normally consists of one or more cloth panels, or a woven network of twine or thin rope stretched with ropes between two firm anchor points such as trees or posts. Hammocks were developed by native inhabitants of tropical regions for sleeping. Later, they were used aboard ships by sailors to enable comfort and maximize available space, and by explorers or soldiers traveling in wooded regions.
