If hanging from a tree branch, how far out along the branch would you go, minimum, for mounting, allowing hammock to rotate a full 360 degrees?

I also agree with Erin with 6 ft. You will want enough room for swinging in any direction. I have mine hanging from a C stand, but wish I had a tree to hang it from.

Well. I have this hammock hanging from a hook in my living room ceiling, but, yes, if I were "in the wild" I would hang it so it could freely turn 360 degrees. Also, there's enough room to stretch out crosswise iin it, so if you hung it any closer, your feet might hit the tree trunk. Hope this helps. Serena

If you want to stretch your legs out in it like in the picture.... I would say 6 ft..... Just to sit in it with your legs down .... 3ft... We love ours!!!

I have mine indoors, hung about 18" from 10ft ceiling. This is an awesome hammock by the way! Built well, super comfy and I love it!

The width all depends on the length of the strap that is supplied. I have used it on 4 trees now, and the current tree is probably 4 foot around but I also had to use one of my own ratchet straps for the lower half due to the width of the tree. I have more of a problem with thinner trees than wider trees, the wider the better I say. They sway less in the wind.

Yes we have ours hung by a tree. Just have to adjust it so its even. We used a nylon rope to extend the leads from the swing so its lower to the ground since the tree branch is higher up and a thicker limb.

Yes you can! I switch to hammock camping two years ago and was so pleased when I found this. I run a line between two trees for my small tarp. Hang the hammock bellow it and then suspend the fly from the same line I use for the tarp. This fly is square but it so large it will hang down well bellow your hammock. And the price is great!!!

We have 2, one bolted to our daughter's bedroom ceiling (very secure through the attic) and the other from our oak tree. You will need to loop an extra rope around the branch. The Whirl and Twirl only has about 3 ft. of rope and chain (with carabiner clip) extending from the handle. The kids like the tree one better as the extra rope provides more swing!

Hello The ideal distance to hang the hammock is 1.8 meters from the groundAbout the distance between the posts, trees, walls must be minimum 12 feetYou can use any nylon Rope or Straps to extend the hammock in larger distancesIf you need more assistance Please contact us againThe Hammocks Rada Team

The answer depends on how far apart the trees are. You will get about a foot of chain with a screw anchor that comes with the hammock. What I did was utilize two separate sections of chain wrapped around each tree secured with a bold to form a loop around the tree. Then extend the separate sections of chain to each end of the hammock hook and just hook into the tree chains at your desired distance. Buy the sections of chain based on how far it is between the trees. I found rope was not satisfactory as it stretched.

I have the tree branch wrapped with a tree strap... with 2 chains looped around the branch about 3 feet apart, closed with steel carabiners rated at 5000 lbs. the loops at the top of each of the green rope hooks into the carabiner

I hang my hammock between trees and adjust the length by using a heavy duty rope - it works fine.

Well I guess if you try hard enough you could hang it anywhere. It's made to attach to a swing set cross bar if the tree branch was straight there is enough of the cool covered chain you could hang it.

Each of the two ropes are two inches shy of ten feet. Since you must double each rope to hang the hammock, you have a bit less than five feet of rope on each end to work with. I would totally use the backpacking friendly ropes provided to suspend my hammock IF they had just been 3 or 4 feet longer each. As it is, I opted just to use my extra pair of unfortunately heavy Atlas Straps to suspend it instead, because I don't like being limited to using medium thickness trees that are only ten feet apart.

U will need at least 15'. 20 would be better. This is a very large hammock.

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.

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.

I don't recall the directions stating anything. I currently have mine on about at 16" tree. I think you could go down to about a 10" and be ok.

Shannon, the sling is quite wide and definitely suitable for your purpose. I wish I had two trees outside from which to hang itas a hammock. Enjoy! It's really nice. It has a 300 lb. wt. limit.
