Will a Mayan hammock work with this stand? My hammock's about 13' long before stretching. There is no crossbar.

yes, I use the same style hammock you do. If I happen to get one with spreaders, I immediately remove them and re-tie the knots ;-) Your hammock should fit fine, you will not use anything but S hooks though...

The hooks are 14'4" apart. My hammocks are shorter than that, so they don't reach the hooks when we put them out in spring. I hook a chain onto the hook and loop it through the hammock ring. After a few weeks, the hammock will stretch to the hook. My hammocks pretty much go straight across, hook to hook, at rest; a person's body makes them into a hammock shape. I would measure how you hang your hammock now compared to a 14'4" spread. I have a nice rope hammock and a tiny thread cheap hammock, both work. The tiny thread hammock folds up into less than a grocery bag's space, the rope hammock weighs a ton and is bigger than a bag of dog food folded up. The hooks are 14'4" apart.

Don't know. We are using a standard 2 person hammock with ours. Sarah Boston

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.

I have a stand that holds hammocks that are 13 feet and this fits perfectly I have had the hammock up all season rain or shine and it has held its beauty just like the first day out of the box.

Way too short -- sorry :-( The overall specs on the hammock are "13 feet over all length" which equals 156 inches. Add to that the fact that the hammock is very stretchy and you'd need a little beyond that to keep your butt from dragging on the ground. . . .

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?

The stand is 15 feet long. A typical hammock for this stand is 12-13 feet long and comes with a set of chains to make it 15 feet.

I have a space saver stand that is 9 ft apart. But I also have straps to use out camping or in the yard. The space for that totally depends on the tree thickness and your straps. I went camping in mid June and my straps would not go twice around a tree, so we had to put the strap about 10 ft up the tree with a kid on someone's shoulders and then stretch the other end to a tree about 12 ft away. Worked great, just looked weird :) I had to kick people out of *my* hammock to use it. It was a big hit and the kids enjoyed getting in it 2-3 at a time. No injuries all weekend.

Should work. The hammock has chains attached allowing for variuos support widths

Spreader bars will not work on this type and I use a 13ft mayan hammock which is in fact too large.

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

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!

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.

Hi, i'm sorry i bought this Hammock Stand. When i bought it i thought they would mention the size of the Hammock it could hold. Well they didn't, so i send them an email asking if they could help me out with that. I can"t quit remember< but either i didn't get and answer back from them. Or the one i got back was useless. So i got a stand in the garage for three years, but no Hammock to go with it. Write them first, if they give you an answer, find, buy it. But if it is like my answer, "Forget It" !

Not sure. I know the hammock is really long, so I would be doubtful it would work with a stand. It also relaxes quite a bit, making it longer. We wound up stringing it between 2 trees... and then had find 2 other trees that were farther apart as the hammock relaxed with use. However, I will say I have been very satisfied with this hammock. We left it out all last summer (rain or shine) and it still looks great. The ropes are also soft.

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.

It should fit; however, the good thing about this frame is that you can put extensions on either or both ends so your hammock will sit squarely in the middle. I used about one foot of chain for each end and it works great. The length of chain connects to the frame assembly (end) and to the ring (end) of the hammock. Hope all works out and best wishes. Skip

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!
