Abstract
A hammock includes a bed formed of a supporting sheet gathered at each end and suitable for joinder to spaced anchors. A second sheet forms a canopy over the bed. One side of the canopy is joined to a side of the supporting sheet. The medial portion of the second sheet is supported above the bed by a rope between the anchors. The other side of the second sheet forms an extendable fly for providing additional shelter. A net extends between the medial portion of the second sheet and the other side of the bed. They are joined by a zipper for permitting access to the hammock.
