the hammock I have is only 9 feet long. Will it fit on this stand?

We recommend a foot on each side of your hammock to get an overall distance. Since your hammock is 9 feet long, we would recommend an 11 foot hammock stand. However, industry standards are 13 foot hammock and a 15 foot hammock stand. You can add additional chain, but please be careful when sitting in the hammock. The additional chain may cause the hammock to be less stable.

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

It should. There are lots of videos online about how people adapt hammocks to frames that are either too big or too small. A word search of the topic would likely get you lots of answers. One simple is fix is that you can buy hanging kits that provide hooks and sturdy chains to extend the reach of your hammock. Hope this helps

My suggestion is to measure the distance across the stand and compare it to the hammock, if you don't have your old hammock . Remember you need include the chain and that it will stretch

The stand from arm to arm is 9 1/2 feet long. The hammock stretched out flat on the floor is 12 ft long from hook to hook. The fabric part of the hammock is 7 1/2 ft long. When on the stand, I lay in mine lengthwise, and sometimes diagonal when I want to lay on my side or lay a little bit more flat. When camping and using tree straps I love to put it higher in the tree and lay in it sideways and swing it. It's comfortable in all directions!

We bought the 15' stand for ours. We absolutely love our hammock, its sturdy and its so comfortable. We often take afternoon naps together in it.

If your hammock is adjustable (i.e., you have to make a knot and tie it to the stand rather than having a ready-made loop/hoop at the end), then this stand will work out beautifully.

I don't know if this hammock would be ideal to put on a stand, it's humongous....we just used the hammock straps sold with it, to hang it between two trees at our campsite...

As it turns out 9' is the distance I mounted mine at. So It should work for you.

Unfortunately it will not. I actually made a purchase with that exact hammock and I should have asked questions before hand. Picture is deceiving. Hope this helps.

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....

The hammock that came with the stand is approx 9 feet 8 inches. We also had our own Hammmock that my husband brought back from the Dominican republic but he actually like this Hammmock better.

My stand is 11 ft 10 in long. I had to wrap the chain around once on each end and then hook them to get the hammock off the ground to proper height. My wife loves the color red so she says it's perfect, but 10 ft 10 in long I am not sure if that will work?

My hammock is for one person and the length is around 9'. The ends do not reach the two hooks of the stand but i bought two 6" chain links and 4 fasteners from Home Depot and they work perfectly!

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 :)

I measured the distance from the outside edges of the holes and it is 9 inches, so I believe it will fit, even with the sides up. It will definitely fit if you do not attach the sides, and i think it will work fine that way. It is very manageable.

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.

well the hammock itself "Measures 9.5 feet long by 4.5 feet wide ". I would say anything bigger than that. Keep in mind that it has about 6" cord for the hook on BOTH sides, that adds a foot to the length.
