I have two palm trees that are 9-10 feet apart... what size hammock should I buy? I dont want it to be too big but the bigger the better :-)

The Hammocls Rada are actually long and big. My hammock stand is too small and I had to tie knots in the ends to make it fit. Strong trees 9-10' apart will be perfect. I'm 6'3", 220lbs, and there is plenty of room for more!

First the way you lay in a hammock is at a angle across. Your feet on one side your head the other and your bum in the middle. I hang mine about 12 feet apart at about 7 feet high. The middle is about 2 feet off the ground. I'm 6'5" 210#. The family (biggest) is the most comfortable the matrimonial is the smallest I would recommend. Sense your trees are close together I would think the smaller ones would not be very comfy. I also like to read with my bum in the middle back toward the tree and a foot nearly hanging off each side. At 9' you will have to hang it higher and lay almost at a 90 degree to the trees. I recommend you order the all nylon as they weather better. First the way you lay in a hammock is at a angle across.

Yes, my hammock is between 2 trees 11 ft. apart. My husband uses slings which are used to lift heavy equipment with shackles.

This is a very nice large hammock . I love mine. You could definitely fit two people. We were 135 and 180. It's your support structure you should be concerned about vs the hammock. Good luck!

Their website is great. It gives the measurements and weight capacities. If I could recommend one, it would be the Deluxe asym. I've camped in it for four years and it's been great. Max capacity is 300 lb and I'm 6'0" and 175 lb. that way I can pull gear into the hammock on rainy nights to insure that I'll have dry clothing options in the morning. I would also recommend a sealine dry bag for your shoes outside the hammock. Keeps the dirt out of your sleeping space but keeps them dry on those damp or raining nights.

U will need at least 15'. 20 would be better. This is a very large hammock.

I have both hammocks. I LOVE my Clark hammock! I could live out of it. It has a built in bug net and rain fly that keeps you dry in a downpour! It has PLENTY of space for items in the pockets or you can stuff things in there to keep you warm in the winter. And best of all you can pitch it as a tent! The Eno hammock is good for laying around in the yard. The Clark is good for serious backpacking/ camping. So it just depends on what you would be using it for. The Clark is worth every penny!!!

I have got mine between 2 trees which are around 13 feet apart. With the attached chain links and tree hanging straps Algoma 7800 Hammock Tree Hanging Straps there is room to even extend it by another 2-3 feet. So you should be good.

If the hooks are like the "Vivere Universal Space Saving Steel Hammock Stand, 9 feet," and positioned at an appropriate distance apart, then you should not need anything else because the ends of the hammock have metal eyes that go onto the hooks and protect the supporting hammock ropes from chafing. You might need something else to bridge the distance, such as carabiners, chain, or rope if the trees are too far apart. If the trees are too close, you might try using something to cradle the rope ends on their way to the hooks (for example, a low branch), similar to how the universal stand cradles the rope ends on their way to the hook.

My Trees sit apart at 12'4'', However I have about 14 inch in length straps from the hammock Mounting hardware to the tree itself, if you can close that distance I imagine you won't have a problem. In other words the hammock should fit just fine.

it is not as wide nor long as I had hoped for (not a 2 person), I have it stored away at present, moving out of state, there fore I am unable to give you measurements at this time. When I set it up last year, I had to make a few adjustments to my hanging apparatus, my old hammock was a bit longer and wider. We had it between 2 large old maple trees in our back yard. It is well made and strong enough to hold my self and 12 year old grand daughter. It is very attractive, but the light color made me sure to bring it in each night. I think you may be able to contact the seller for the dimensions. Good luck, sorry I couldn't help more.

My Hammock stand measures 13.5' from welded hook to hook. The chain hooks are 11.5' apart for it to hang above ground a bit when occupied. From there you should be able to figure out your needs. 11.5' stretch is minimum to keep loaded hammock from dragging the ground.

It is a beautiful hammock but too big for our frame, and still we kept it for the future possibilities, warm, suppose it could be in the sun, but under a shade tree and a breeze, perfecto. It is comfy and you won't have the feeling of your body going thru a sieve with the netted ones.

well the hammock itself "Measures 9.5 feet long by 4.5 feet wide ". I would say anything bigger than that. Keep in mind that it has about 6" cord for the hook on BOTH sides, that adds a foot to the length.

I would definitely go for the largest unit. I am 6'1" and 180 and while the weight I do not think is an issue I definitely think that you will want some room for moving around. These are fantastic hammocks. You will love it.
