It is similar to woodcut in Western printmaking in some regards, but was widely used for text as well as images. The Japanese mokuhanga technique differs in that it uses water-based inks—as opposed to Western woodcut, which typically uses oil-based inks. Japanese water-based inks provide a wide range of vivid colors, glazes, and transparency.

Lewis spent several years acquiring the necessary materials to construct the net. Highliners traversed the five legs of the net, which spanned up to 80 meters (262 feet), while BASE jumpers leaped from the human-sized hole at the center of the net. The pentagonal web was positioned more than 200 feet away from the nearest cliff.

Later, they were used aboard ships by sailors to enable comfort and maximize available space, by explorers or soldiers travelling in wooded regions and eventually by parents in the early 1920s for containing babies just learning to crawl. Today they are popular around the world for relaxation; they are also used as a lightweight bed on camping trips. The hammock is often seen as a symbol of summer, leisure, relaxation and simple, easy living.
