What distances are the ideal distance from tree to tree for this hammock? I've got about 10'6" from inside edges of both trees.

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.

If the trees are 11 feet apart you will want to look for a hammock that is 10 feet. Typically the hammock stands are 12 feet long to fit an 11 foot hammock. Please let me know if you have any other questions!

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

13-15 ft. between trees. Best closest to 15. Hight should be when you sit in it sideways your feet should touch ground as if you were sitting in a chair. Always remember, never hang higher than you are willing to fall.

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!

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.

I purchased a set that had a long wood stand and a cheap hammock- then when the hammock rotted- I got the Jumbo to replace it- It was cheaper to get the set than to just outright buy the stand when I was looking. Just be careful you get the larger wooden one-I think 13 feet?

I would HIGHLY recommend searching for a "hammock hang calculator" online, to help determine your hang height. There are multiple factors to consider, there.If you're going to hang the hammock between 2 trees or girthy posts, just find a set of straps that are long enough to go around the tree... And, rated high enough for the weight you may have in the hammock.

If you lay out your hammock and measure it out, it should be right around nine feet long from hook to hook. the hammock stand hook points are about the same distance, so it should fit. when you attach it the first time, it will ride a little high. don't worry. once you get in it a few times it will stretch.

Being 5' 7" I just slide up the Hammock some and it is very comfortable. The frame when assembled is very sturdy so I cant imagine adjusting one end higher will be a problem, although once you try it I doubt you'll have to. I am very pleased with the item and when mine wears out I'll buy another. I take it camping in my RV and it is great for a lazy afternoon next to a lake.

Yes, my hammock is between 2 trees 11 ft. apart. My husband uses slings which are used to lift heavy equipment with shackles.

It requires a minimum of 5 feet from the hanging ring to the bottom of the hammock - and that would mean you would not have your feet swinging clear, which is probably not an issue, we always put our feet up in the swing. Try to get a height on the loft bed to see if you will have five feet, if so, I'd go for it :)

My swing hangs just over 8 feet below the branch so it's absolutely not 6'8". It could be 11 plus a little hard to tell as it knots under seat and wraps/knots to branch but definitely over 10 feet. I think about 8-1/2 feet would be close to the maximum from seat to branch.

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 hammock hangs between two trees, and they are 12 feet apart. I have 12" of chain on each end with large quick links to hook in to the eyebolts in my trees.

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. . . .
