Our undercover outdoor hammocks are designed to be hung outdoors for all undercover settings such as Patios, Decks, Verandas, etc. The shelter will protect them from the sun and rain allowing you to enjoy your hammock for years. They are okay to hang completely outdoors for a festival, camping, picnic, etc but to avoid deterioration just unhook them when they are not in use. Mayan Legacy specialise in outdoor hammocks so contact us today to lean more.
