Is there a listed minimum diameter recommended for this stand? We have smaller Oaks. I'd hate to get it and not be able to use it.

I would not recommend a tree smaller than 20 inch diameter. This is a large stand and with an adult up that high it may be unsteady.

I'm not sure if there is or not. We just found a big enough tree that we felt comfortable with. We did not put the bottom ladder on so it isn't as high as it will go. Which we always use extra straps to secure it to the tree too. Just for extra safety. My son and husband love these stands, we have two of them now. My son is 6'5" so needs the extra room on the platform for his big feet. lol

I don't remember seeing a listed minimum tree size on the box, but I wouldn't use it on a tree under 16 diameter

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.

Check the arbor size - 5/8inch. Don't know about the size of your safety guide.

I screwed the base to my deck with lag bolts and strapped the vertical post to the deck rails. I have two holes in my table and don't use a base. The outside diameter of the pole is just under 2". Hope this helps. I really like mine.

The smallest would be about 5 feet. There are 4 crossbars each a little under 3 feet. So in your case I would just connect the two crossbars that attach to the stand to get about 5 feet wide.

Harla is correct. I thought I should mention that the top of the stand is slightly flexible. I was able to push mine down a tiny bit to be able to fit it under an overhang on my deck.

not sure but the stand itself appears to accomodate most sizes. the stand on the other hand is poorly constructed and the locking hinges may unfasten which makes the stand extremely unstalble. In fact as I was moving the stand and it colapsed and i fell over it into the lawn. the frame bent at the base and could not be straightened

The manufacture specifications recommend 1.5" - 1.9" diameter poles. I'm currently using 1 3/8" diameter pole w/a thin piece of rubber as an insert wrap around pole and it works fine! I'm very confident that these stands and umbrella with stand moderate winds and I leave the umbrellas up all day and night with no problem.

This stand would, I think, fall a LITLE short. I wouldn't recommend this for a 17", but hey, I could be wrong. I've seen me be wrong before. :)

No, The diameter is too big. Better off to go to a local hardware store snd find something.

I'll be going to a craft store some and I'm going measure the width and see if I can find the smallest but efficient handle. Wish me luck! Plus double Thanks for answering my question!

My tree is 34" in diameter with plenty of room for a larger trunk, I love it! Really looks nice and easy to assemble just make sure your ground is level!

I mounted mine in a 5 1/4" rail, but the minimum you could use is 3 1/2" due to the lenght where the rings goes. Hope this information could be helpful.

The stand that came with mine has a 1.24" diameter holder. The open end of the horseshoe is about 7/8 th inch. The chrome piece will not fit through that opening, but the bristles do.

I for one use a 5 inch tree for normal slackline. That is the minimum for me, however due to its design, there is no maximum, which is great for highlining

Hi, i'm sorry i bought this Hammock Stand. When i bought it i thought they would mention the size of the Hammock it could hold. Well they didn't, so i send them an email asking if they could help me out with that. I can"t quit remember< but either i didn't get and answer back from them. Or the one i got back was useless. So i got a stand in the garage for three years, but no Hammock to go with it. Write them first, if they give you an answer, find, buy it. But if it is like my answer, "Forget It" !

It's pretty 'roomy'. I don't see why not. But if this is your first Tree Stand, I would spend a bit more so you get complete instructions and nicer accessories.

I am not too sure about the diameter but the pole is hollow. I did not need any rebar and I have birds and squirrels all over it. I suggest that you put it in the ground after it rains or soften up the spot where you want to place it. My husband tried to bang it into the ground with a hammer but the metal rods couldn't take it and bent. We had to straighten it back out before we could put the top on.
