What is the best hammock chair for this stand? I bought the stand for a chair we already own, but it hangs too low. Looking for a new chair.

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.

My stand is from kolhs and it's about 11 and a half feet across. But I have had to pull the rings on the ends of the hammock all the way on the end of the stand as opposed to the metal hooks on the stand. I hope that makes sense It seemed to sag a bit after the first two weeks. A 12' stand or over should help in that area. I really like this hammock and it is really comfortable I hope that helps :)

Hi Fosh, while ours is strung between two trees that are 24'9" apart(measuring from the inside distance between the trees), the nylon ropes we use for the hammock are tied to the trees at 8'9" off the ground and extend 7' to the end of the carabiner, which ends up being 13'9" apart (adjust for your personal comfort). We used Chouinard/mountain climbing carabiners rated at 4000 lbs. If you have to use a stand, I suggest getting the largest one you can and if necessary, use nylon rope and climbing carabiners to attach to the the loops of the hammock. It will give you a wider "swing" in the hammock. Additionally, it makes it easier to remove the hammock before it gets wet. We bring ours in at nite and the carabiners make it easy. Another point...don't lay in the hammock if you have buttons on your back pockets. You may snag a string and break it like we did. It easy to repair by tying the strings back together in a double knot, but thought I'd bring it up as a cautionary tale. I hope this is helpful to you. I LOVE my hammock and hope you will enjoy yours as much. Lee

You are giving up versatility for the space the stand takes up. Actually, longer stands offer more flexibility when hanging your hammock. This particular stand was just a little to short for my hammock, and I had to hang fabric over one of the hanging forks to prevent the hammock from hitting the ground bar.

I'm also looking for a carabiner to hang a hammock chair - did you find one you liked? Thanks!

I believe it says in the description for this stand that it's for use with hammocks with the spreader bar. I don't have a wrap around type hammock, but I believe they sag more than this stand can accommodate by design.

I purchased a set that had a long wood stand and a cheap hammock- then when the hammock rotted- I got the Jumbo to replace it- It was cheaper to get the set than to just outright buy the stand when I was looking. Just be careful you get the larger wooden one-I think 13 feet?

Wondering if you got this stand and if it worked with a Swingasan? We are looking into getting one but looking for a cheaper stand. Thanks!

Hi Carolyn,I purchased two of these last summer for full sized hattaras hammocks. These stands are substantial and will support a lot of weight. The stands are not adjustable. However, my hammocks have a chain at each end and I can put different links of chain on the hammock stand hooks and that adjusts the tension of the hammock and the amount of sag I get when someone lies down in it. They are very nice and substantial stands.

My cloth ripped late last summer & I have been looking for a simple replacement with no luck...the frame is in great shape and I don't want to spend the money for a new hammock if I don't have to. Any help would be appreciated.

Nope. I had bought a 13' hammock and used this stand. The hammock will stretch a little with its first use. With my 13' hammock I had to hang it from the chains. Then go higher on the links. I finally got it to the rings on the hammock and it's perfect. Great stand!

It says in the description: "this hammock will fit any 15 feet long hammock stand". And that happens to be almost the exact distance between my two trees. Now, your stand is four feet shorter than that (under eleven feet), and of course it will work but it will probably be sagging too much and will probably touch the ground in the middle if you hang it from the farthest outside chain links.Now, if you choke up on the hammock by hanging it from the farthest inside chain links, it could possibly start hanging off the ground, but I'm not 100% sure about that. I would have to guess that 11 feet might be too short of a distance. Hope this helps. It says in the description: "this hammock will fit any 15 feet long hammock stand".

I don't feel like I gave up a thing....My desk is small 11x11 and I wanted room for seating and a grill too (I always want it all!!). I bought a string hammock without a frame to save space, and it has been great for reading, tanning, and as a porch swing. I usually use it alone, but both my significant other and I are pretty medium sized people and we've been on it together with no catastrophes. This is my first season with it, but I love it and consider it the best purchase I've made in terms of hours of enjoyment for the dollar (my definition of value!)

My stand is 11 ft 10 in long. I had to wrap the chain around once on each end and then hook them to get the hammock off the ground to proper height. My wife loves the color red so she says it's perfect, but 10 ft 10 in long I am not sure if that will work?

this is a good question. when I first put mine together I didn't realize that it could be adjusted. the hammock I had was all but touching the ground. so what did I do? I went out and bought another one. (stupid me) when I put the second one on that is when I realized that it is adjustable. play around with it and see how it adjusts.
