All hammocks can be hung from a variety of settings, whether trees, posts, wall fixtures or on hammock stands, but different sizes and styles can have different hanging space requirements. This guide will go through our different size hammocks, their dimensions and the hanging space requirements for each.
In terms of hanging heights, once taking into account your minimum hammock space requirements, you can use a general rule of thumb in that the height you fix your hammock attachments, e.g rope/straps/hooks should be half of the total length of your span. For example a 4m span would mean your hanging height needs to be approx 2m. Resort and spreader bar style hammocks hang more flat and the hanging height for these is approx 1.2m - 1.6m.
For spans longer than any of the specifications these can easily be catered for with the addition of hanging rope or hammock tree straps.
