What is the length of this hammock, picture contradicts description. What I really want to know is what should be the distance between the hooks be.

the hammock is between 10 -11 feet hook to hook - you need a 13-15' stand -

Hi Shona, My hammock measurements are 135" X 55" overall length (75"L X 55"W bed length) and I used (2) S hooks with (2) 12" chains so making total of 159L with hooks, the day that I put it all together the 159 was tight but it gave in with use and I really believe your 158"L would fit if you buy little chain to extend. This stand is very sturdy material, if you are putting on top of a ground besides grass even better, I put it on my grass and bought a wheel that they sell separately to move around but grass keeps wet and it's rusting on bottom already but I don't care cause it's just where touches the grass, it's a quality product....

I use mine on a hammock stand but don't know how big it really is. I looks like it would. e 15 feet. it's all packed away for the winter in the rafters of our garage now, otherwise I would measure it. there are holes on the ends of our hammock stand that we put a S hook in that has a chain with another S hook on the other end that hooks onto the loops at the end of the hammock. Using S hooks and a chain make the hammock adjustable. we can make it higher or lower to the ground. hope this answer helps.

J.D., I just went out to the garage and measured the hammock, the width of it is 60". I hope this helps.

Stretched out flat and straight it measures 12' 3.5" from ring tip to ring tip. I have a 14' plus frame and it works great on that. Hope this helps. It's a great well made hammock.

I'm 5'7" 200 lbs, I had more than enough room! I do not confined in the least bit. I hope that helps, thats the best I can do. Their website does have the actual measurements. I researched a lot and everyone says, it's the Cadillac of Hammocks!

I think 15 feet is too long. I just looked and it said it was for 12-13 feet. We have our hammock on our porch and it is less than 11 '. We had to make a knot in each end to get it up off the ground. If you stretched it 15 feet, it would be too high off the ground and would not be comfortable. This is a great hammock and we have used these for many years.

Mine was 12 ft I think, and it's stretched to the max. It's made of criss crossed cords though, which stretch quite a bit, I don't know if fabric behaves the same way. The two diagonal bars actually have some wiggle room so they will move towards each other when the hammock pulls on them.

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 dont have the exact dementions on the actual hammock but it is rather small. One very average person could fit on it. The hammock holder however is very nice but keep in mind small. I had purchased a nicer hammock for two and we had to do some adjustments to the strings becuase it was so long.

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.

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

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!

I also ordered mine for a 12 foot hammock. it was too large also. It appears that this hammock is made exactly 12 feet long which gives no room for stretch. I bet it would fit a 13-16 foot frame.

It's huge when set up, but I don't know the specs. The hammock itself is too tight to use and the material is less than crummy. Save your money.

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.
