What hammock stand are people using for this? It says to use a 12.5' to 13', but all I can find are 15' and 9' space-saver where you wrap the end ove

My stand is 12 feet and I had to tie knots in each end to take up some slack. I'd say that 15 ft would be good. It's beautiful and I'm happy with it. - Oregon R

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

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.

I recommend about 9-10 ft. 11.5 ft will result in the hammock being too taught. When unoccupied, the hammock should look like a crescent. Being inside the hammock will stretch it out. When in the hammock you're going to want to shift yourself about 15 degrees from center, left or right, to get just the right tension.

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!

My stand is from kolhs and it's about 11 and a half feet across. But I have had to pull the rings on the ends of the hammock all the way on the end of the stand as opposed to the metal hooks on the stand. I hope that makes sense It seemed to sag a bit after the first two weeks. A 12' stand or over should help in that area. I really like this hammock and it is really comfortable I hope that helps :)

Mine is hanging at 12'6" / 150". Longer is ok because you can use a piece of rope or chain as an extender. More than a few inches shorter would in my opinion cause an unacceptable amount of sag.

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. . . .

My hammock is a double wide and twelve feet in length and the 12 foot hammock stand works fine.

I went with the 15 ft hammock and used the Best Choice Products stand, although I must confess that I bought it through Walmart for about $85

I don't believe that this stand would fit a hammock the size you have described. It will fit a hammock that is at least 9 foot long. The one you have is 14 foot long.

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 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.

Sorry we moved and left the hammock stand for the new owners. Seems I answered a similar question before see if my old answer is out there

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.

I have a two person hammock on there and it works perfectly! I'm not sure what size hammock I have on there, but I actually had to knot the ends to shorten it on the frame, so I assume 11' would work.

Nope. I had bought a 13' hammock and used this stand. The hammock will stretch a little with its first use. With my 13' hammock I had to hang it from the chains. Then go higher on the links. I finally got it to the rings on the hammock and it's perfect. Great stand!
