How to Hang a Hammock
With a few hints, you’ll find it’s as easy to hang a hammock as to relax in it! It should come with directions, but keep a few things in mind as you shop. Choose a company with personalized customer service, so you can ask questions if you need to. Also check that they carry any accessories you may need to hang a hammock depending on your individual circumstances.
The first thing to decide is where you want to hang a hammock. If you have sturdy, well-rooted trees, measure the distance between them. In general, you need approximately a foot more than the hammock’s length to hang a hammock with spreader bars. Hang these fairly tautly to avoid sagging. If you want a rope hammock, choose trees that are at least two-thirds the length of the hammock apart up to about a foot over. If your trees are too far apart, you can purchase chains or ropes to bridge the gap. Just don’t extend over 18″ or it may become more ‘tippy.’
Whichever type you choose, it’s important to hang a hammock so the head is about 30⁰ higher than the foot. If your trees are less than the hammock’s length apart, put the head even higher to compensate. There is less leeway on this when using a hammock with spreader bars, so bear this in mind when you shop. Hammocks with spreader bars are hung closer to the ground–approximately 4′–than rope hammocks, which are usually set at about 6′.
There are several ways to hang a hammock from trees. One is with eye screws which are screwed into the tree. (Cleaning the drill bit and eye screws with alcohol may lessen the possibility of introducing infection to the inside of the tree.) Some experts recommend drilling straight through the tree and using bolts with nuts on the end to ensure a secure mount. Consult an arborist if you have any questions about the suitability of the trees and the method you want to use. Some hammock dealers carry tree straps so you can hang a hammock without damaging trees. These hold the hammock securely, and are easy to remove if you want to move it around the yard to follow the shade–or the sun! They are also a good idea if you plan on taking the hammock on outings or camping trips.
If you don’t have trees, you can still hang a hammock where you want it! One method is to put posts in the ground to hang a hammock from. Use 4″x4″ posts or larger, placed two feet into the ground, set in concrete. Depending on the size of the hole, which should be somewhat wider at the bottom than the top, this should take approximately two bags of concrete per post. There are also metal supports which can be mounted from rigid walls to hang a hammock safely and securely.
However you hang it, your hammock will give you years of relaxation!
