if my hammock is 13' and your hooks are 15' apart, assume I need a kit or something to fill the gap?

I was able to make my hammock work with this stand and create extensions without buying any additional kits. The rope I had was long enough, but chain can be used, too. This stand is excellent and totally worth it. I'm pretty certain it will last forever!

A heavy chain works very nicely. I was on mine yesterday adjusting tension on both ends by just hooking into a closer link, evenly on both .dided

We recommend a foot on each side of your hammock to get an overall distance. Since your hammock is 9 feet long, we would recommend an 11 foot hammock stand. However, industry standards are 13 foot hammock and a 15 foot hammock stand. You can add additional chain, but please be careful when sitting in the hammock. The additional chain may cause the hammock to be less stable.

I just emailed the company about shortening the length and was told that I can tie a knot at the ends. Each knot will shorten it by a foot and it will not damage the hammock.

I am sorry, but I have no answer for you. I did not need more than the 6 hooks it came with.

My hammock hangs between two trees, and they are 12 feet apart. I have 12" of chain on each end with large quick links to hook in to the eyebolts in my trees.

Yes, not as many hooks but will fit. I used Velcro straps for extra support.

The hammock is about 6 ft with about 2 ft webbing on each end, so I think this hammock would be to large for a 9 ft spacing.

The hammock is 160" from the edge of one hanging ring to the edge of the other ring, so roughly 13 1/3 ft w/out figuring in the "S" hooks used in each hanging ring. You could mount the hammock high enough to keep it from touching the ground, but I wouldn't think it to be very comfortable w/ so much sag.

Looks like the hammock needs to be between 13' to 15' in length to accommodate the length of the stand. Your hammock will be shorter than the frame. Either the hammock or the stand should have come with two short lengths about 8 inches long so you can adjust the length to kit you needs.

if it is a little stretched and you prefer it is not i would just suggest buying two big s-hooks and maybe two chains from your local home improvement store or amazon. you could even ask what your local home improvement store employees would suggest. :] hope that helps.

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.

I would recommend using a tarp that's at least 11 ft corner to corner, ie. an 8*8 or a 7*9. You can expect the hammock to be about ~105 inches from one hook to the other when you hang it properly, and you'll want at least 6 inches of coverage past each hook.

Straight across you will only fit 13.5in. You can fit 15in diagonally, but this might only work if the item is slim.

I use a hammock stand which has a chain with hooks to hook the hammock to the stand. It's adjustable to whatever height you want it to be.

This may be a stupid question: Will it fit between two post, that are 11' apart? I had an old hammock that used to fit between these posts, but unsure if this one will. Thanks.

The hammock measures 13 feet from end to end when stretched out. So anything longer than 13 feet will work.

It requires a minimum of 5 feet from the hanging ring to the bottom of the hammock - and that would mean you would not have your feet swinging clear, which is probably not an issue, we always put our feet up in the swing. Try to get a height on the loft bed to see if you will have five feet, if so, I'd go for it :)
