I wanted to get a gift for my brother's deck, and he needed to replace a weather proof hammock that was faded. This lovely green and white cotton hammock seemed perfect. But when we got it, it was a little shorter than the previous one, and made differently. So we decided it was best to leave the old one on the stand, and use the new cotton quilted one as a hammock pad - which we could take on and off more easily as it can't be left outdoors as it is not weather resistant. And in doing this we created a luxurious hammock spa retreat! Looks lovely and will last longer as we don't leave it out all the time. We just attached it over the old one to the frame, and it stays in place perfectly. Great price...
