Single Hammock

The Single Hammock is a great playground addition, and provides opportunities for rest and relaxation. The Single Hammock can be selected with either a black flexform or rope/net base on which to sit or lie down.

The shape of the hammock provides a different type of swinging experience with its larger surface area, as older children and/or adults can position their bodies in a more unique way than on a traditional swing. With one side higher than the other, the Single Hammock presents a familiar space in which to lie down, rest and reset.

Play Value

The Single Hammock (1800mm x 750mm / approximately 6 feet by 2.5 feet) is a comfortable addition to a smaller playground. It offers an area for socialization, relaxation, and creative play for many different people within the space. Swinging has always been popular with people of all ages, and the hammock offers a different type of swinging/rocking experience.

Merits

The Single Hammock can provide a comfortable space for older children, teens, and adults to unwind. Friends can sit together and chat (social play), or they can lie down on the flexform or net for a break or passive play opportunity. When swinging on the hammock, children have the opportunity to practice their coordination, spatial awareness (if others are around), and movement skills. It also offers a space for regulation and relaxation.

Materials

The Single Hammock is suspended between two black locust posts. There are two options for the hammock itself: either a black flexform rubber hammock (with small holes for drainage) or a net hammock.

The flexform rubber is held by nylon-wrapped steel core rope. The net option also uses nylon-wrapped steel core rope.

Accessibility

The Single Hammock is an accessible ground-level play feature when situated on an accessible path or surfacing.
