Due to the lightness of the canvas, setting up and dismantling is rendered easy. Being lightweight, the item can be unfolded, suspended on the rope via the knots and the ends attached to the trunks of trees or posts or on any other supporting structure.
If the hammock is set up properly, it’ll always be a few inches above the terra firma.
