The only Rapture that occurred on Saturday at 6pm at my house involved my husband and a hammock.
Last year for Father’s Day, I bought my hubby a hammock. However, I neglected to buy him a hammock stand. By the time I got around to looking for the stand, they were sold out for the season. Hence, 2010 did not bring to fruition my hubby’s dream of lounging around in the backyard in a hammock.
Yesterday, with the end of the world quickly approaching, my hubby ventured out to find a hammock stand to ensure that he could enact his dream before doomsday. He arrived back home victoriously holding an assemble-yourself stand and quickly began putting it together. After just a couple of minutes, he realized that the box was missing some of the parts. Not to be deterred from his mission, he repacked the contents of the box and headed out to exchange the incomplete stand. He returned yet again and assembled the stand in its entirety!
Just one problem – the hammock I bought for him did not fit the stand he bought! By the look in my hubby’s eyes, it seemed the end of the world came earlier than predicted.
I’ve been wanting to get a hammock for our backyard, but will need a stand since our trees are not conveniently placed for a tie-on. Has your husband managed to get the right size yet? And if yes, and if he likes the he bought, what’s the brand/model? I could use a recommendation.
He is still on the hunt, but he is pretty determined to get one soon. I’ll let you know what one he gets and how he likes it.
Hi! Just thought I would update you, that my hubby finally has his hammock. We ordered the stand and the hammock from Target.com and couldn’t be happier. Here is what we got: 1) Outdoor Patio Hammock Steel Tri-Beam Stand – Taupe 2) Outdoor Patio Home Single Layer Hammock – Multi Stripe. Hope this helps!
