Does this work with spreader bar hammocks?

We use it with a rope spreader bar hammock and it works great. This is a really good stand and I plan to get a second one this season.

I am going to guess no. Check the Hennessy web page for options. They sell several longer hammocks.

Yes it dose but they are small. I suggest slap straps or Google hammock suspension and there are a number of ways to hang your hammock.

Usually the longer hammocks have stabilizer bars on each end. If yours has stabilizer bars (like the popular Pawley's Island Rope Hammock) it will not work on this stand. If it does not have stabilizer bars, the other two answers I see here are right on target.

Yes it does - an integral part of the hammock. It was my first hammock and I am hooked! I added a structural ridge line to help the same "hang angles" each time too. I take it when I motorcycle camp. Strongly recommend.

Based on my experience, yes-- the hammock needs a spreader bar. I think the hammock would hit the slanted supports otherwise. For the type of hammock you have, you need to have upright supports at both ends.

The only issue I might see is that the stand is not tall enough and when you sit in this you will be too low to the ground, otherwise it will work....you also will have to buy a hook if it does not come with the stand because you do not get one with the hammock.

Not really sure. The fabrics may, but my impression is that when you sit on it, the ropes elongate and the bottom of the hammock goes too close to the floor, at least using the metallic structure that I'm using.

I'm not sure. ...I believe so bc the stand is only advertised as a 'space saving' stand... We bought an extra wide hammock bed measuring 82"x56" with a spreader bar... Overall the haddock measures 120"x57"...I hope this helps

It does, only it doesn't click like the single one i had. It kind of just hammocks on the straps under, but it still seems sturdy. At first I didn't like it cause it didn't click, but we once I figured it out that it doesn't need to, I became more comfortable with it.

Yes it can. In most cases the spreader will need additional support to prevent it flexing, irrespective of front or back mounting.

We use it on a twin bed with a bunky board below the mattress. The two horizontal bars have to lay on something. As long as you either have a box spring or something like a bunky board it should work.

Absolutely NOT, that's why I got a 10 ft hammock ( hard to find) for this stand I had. I actually had to put a short chain at each end, depends on how high you want it

It should. There are lots of videos online about how people adapt hammocks to frames that are either too big or too small. A word search of the topic would likely get you lots of answers. One simple is fix is that you can buy hanging kits that provide hooks and sturdy chains to extend the reach of your hammock. Hope this helps

No it will not, I too purchased that hammock Quilt and the stand is too small for that quilt. I have complained to the company. It is mis-guiding and im here to tell you that it wont fit.. the stand is too small even with adjustments

We used a 3/8 inch I bolt and a heavy duty caribiner to attach the hammock to the I bolt. It has worked very well for us. Would definitely purchase another one. Hope this helps.

This hammock stand is for hammocks WITHOUT spreader bars. The hook is adjustable in height to fit nearly all hammock sizes.
