Im back on the internet again in the aftermath of my unusual electricty fell dead. I do not have a lot to go over however I managed to locate the following hammock piece of writing today. I hope you dig the idea. I was not positive about writing this one. In some cases I think about if a few of these things are even adequate to publish however I figure I will take a shot and hope somebody get some value in this post.
The HammockCompany.com Business Blossoms with the Spring Season
Greenville, NC (PRWEB) April 20, 2010
Spring is the time for new growth, and HammockCompany.com has been bursting at the seams this season. Already a world leader in sales of hammocks, hammock accessories and other outdoor furniture, the eastern North Carolina e-commerce company has just doubled both its office space and staff, and is preparing to nearly triple its Internet speed.
Recent sales, to put it in springtime terms, have been coming up roses.
“Even in this hard economic climate,” noted J.R. Pelletier, longtime manager of HammockCompany.com, “people still need to relax!”
The boost in Internet speed, or bandwidth, will have particular benefits for site visitors. “We’ve already been able to add 360-degree views of our products, as well as increasing the number of videos about the products we carry. We now have more than 20 videos, compared to other online retailers who have maybe one or two. We try to make ours fun to watch, which is also pretty rare.”
The recent spike in growth continues HammockCompany.com’s steady expansion since opening online in 2002. “We’ve grown as the Internet has grown,” said Pelletier.
Initially, the Greenville, N.C.-based e-commerce company intended to sell only outdoor furniture, but had a revelation that ultimately re focused its direction.
“It quickly came to our attention that the biggest hammock manufacturer in the world was here in our own town,” said Pelletier, referring to the HammockSource, then doing no online business of its own.
“We saw a huge opportunity to sell what was being made right here!” Pelletier added.
The new partnership’s rapid success allowed HammockCompany.com to soon expand into other quality hammock brands as well. From initially stocking and selling only Hatteras Hammocks and The Original Pawleys Island Rope Hammock, HammockCompany.com next added products from Nags Head Hammocks, another established, top-quality coastal Carolinas brand.
Several other national hammock brands have also since been added, including Hennessy, ENO, Kelsyus and Tuuci, as well as a selection of vibrantly colored Mayan-style hammocks imported directly from Nicaragua.
“A lot of online stores may sell a similar line of products as part of their total operation,” said Pelletier, “but this is all we do. This is who we are. We’re not some online mall; we’re a specialty retailer. We know and try the products we sell.”
That means maintaining a ready stock of everything HammockCompany.com carries, another rarity in the online-retail world.
“Our business model,” Pelletier explained, “is built on having everything here to ship the same day it’s ordered, and to help our customers in a friendly way to make an informed decision about what to buy.”

A very easy method for making a hammock for under with no sewing necessary. A couple of things to think about. First, although you don’t need to sew the material, it will fray, so either sewing the ends or using an anti-fraying agent will help the hammock last longer. It won’t affect the strength of the hammock either way. And speaking of strength, I’ve read a lot of people saying that paracord should never be used to support human weight. Well, it works. I don’t recommend using it for rock-climbing, but I included the scene with me hanging upside-down to show that one of my cords will support me. With 2 cords, I’m not the least bit worried. The last thing to think about is the safety of the trees. The trees I’m setting up on don’t seem to be affected by the cord, but you might damage a tree with soft bark using my method. I recommend using an extra scrap of fabric under the cord to protect the tree (and protect the cord from abrasion). This isn’t my preferred hammock setup, but if you don’t have access to a sewing machine, this design will still let you “hang” out!
