Can I use these straps for a hammock stand that I have or do they have to be used on a tree?

I wouldn't use these straps anywhere! one of my straps broke right in the middle after only a few uses & it's not like the hammock was overloaded...I weigh about 140. it just snapped, landing me flat on my back on a brick patio. would definitely not recommend.

The hammock does not require hardware to hang. It comes with tree straps that will work for small to mid size trees. For very large trees you may need to purchase the longer straps.

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

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.

I can not see why they won't work. I have two sets that I use for my racks on my pick up. They come with lots of straps.

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.

I find that the 2 attached to the hammock are sufficient. Pull the strap around the circumference of the tree, then feed one end through one of the loops to achieve desired length, repeat for second strap on another tree. Attach carabiners that are included with the eno hammock to the terminal loops of the straps. Then position yourself on hammock (carefully) and enjoy.

These are web style straps. They will practically wrap around anything but....the beam needs to be able to support the person in the hammock. Also, the web strap will tighten and slide a bit which may cause paint and/or stucco (even bark) damage. Not much but easily fixable.

Certainly! These are great for hammocking in general - they grip trees well and don't cause much damage to the tree bark. All you need is a way to fasten your hammock to any of the loops. I would advise using a carabiner on each end. If you instead tie your hammock to the slap strap, the weight of your body can make the knot very hard to untie.

The entire strap wraps around the tree and than goes through the loop. This will leave a single strap which you connect the S hook to and than to your hammock. There is a video on YouTube that shows the installation of hammock tree straps at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LJI-efnVYIk .

The strap that came with mine would probably fit around a 2' dia tree at least. It is probably at least 9' long. If you need longer, you can buy a ratchet strap at a outdoors store for pretty cheap. The back of the stand has a V shaped attachment that helps to stabilize the stand when it is fastened on to the tree. I've used my two stands for two seasons now and they haven't slipped once.

Showing my ignorance, I'm assuming a spreader bar is used to keep the hammock flat? I haven't tried it, but the stand seems to be designed to support that option. I might suggest calling the manufacturer, I had to call about a question and they were helpful and clear with what was needed.

The tree straps are about 24", I haven't had them out for a few months. As for the snake skins, the only way I've seen to get them included with your new hammock is to buy directly from hennessy.com, not through amazon. Hope this helps

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.

Yes they can. The only requirement is a hook on either end of the hammock to use for attaching to the straps.

If you do not have Nylon Rope or you can not get it...the Straps will be a very functional accesorie to hang around the treesRegardsThe Hammocks Rada Team

Although I believe it rated for 200 lbs each, this is not the best way to hang a hammock. U want a heavy duty hook on both sides of the hammock well anchored into a wall or tree.
