A fabric for outdoor furniture is formed from synthetic material with a stretch characteristic of 5% to 50%. The fabric may have differential stretch characteristics in a first direction and greater stretch characteristics in a second direction substantially perpendicular to the first direction. The fabric is preferably warp knitted and used in the manufacture of a hammock or hammock chair. A hammock may have a lesser stretch characteristic along its length and a greater stretch characteristic transverse and preferably includes a plurality of ventilation apertures. Indicia may be printed on the surface of the fabric when used in a hammock or hammock chair and may indicate ownership, club loyalties, personalized visual signs or other special interests. A flexible spreading rod for use in a hammock is preferably located in a sleeve at either end of the hammock or may be supported directly by a hammock stand. |
