The hammocks or hammocks are a resistant fabric that is used in the form of hanging, more than anything it is used to become a means of rest and sleep for their owners; Hammocks have a manufacturing origin within the Central American indigenous peoples, and such is their use that they have been commercialized throughout the world. Although the manufacturing materials over time did not vary the weaving technique, giving different designs to the hammocks, recently the most common are totally flat hammocks, used on North American beaches.. There are Hispanic regions where chinchorro and hammock are not symbolized as synonyms; Because for these inhabitants the hammock is when it has a large interweave that gives it an elastic and open appearance, while the hammock is one that is made of fabric, it is totally rigid and straight.
The most widely used method for weaving a hammock is the gut, caireles and mesh technique. The person who discovered that the natives slept among these fabrics was Columbus after his trip to America, who was surprised by the new way of sleeping and took some copies to the Spanish region, thus starting the commercialization of the hammock in the world.
These hammocks used to be hung between logs previously, however this has changed over time and today to be able to hang them on the walls of a house you need the help of metal rings, which are given the name of Alcayatas..
