I have an ENO double nest hammock and I wanted to know how well this stand works with it. Does it have much ground clearance? Does it need extra chain

this is a good question. when I first put mine together I didn't realize that it could be adjusted. the hammock I had was all but touching the ground. so what did I do? I went out and bought another one. (stupid me) when I put the second one on that is when I realized that it is adjustable. play around with it and see how it adjusts.

Hi Kathryn,In my opinion this stand works well and does not need extra chain but it has much ground clearance.

You are giving up versatility for the space the stand takes up. Actually, longer stands offer more flexibility when hanging your hammock. This particular stand was just a little to short for my hammock, and I had to hang fabric over one of the hanging forks to prevent the hammock from hitting the ground bar.

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.

Not sure. I know the hammock is really long, so I would be doubtful it would work with a stand. It also relaxes quite a bit, making it longer. We wound up stringing it between 2 trees... and then had find 2 other trees that were farther apart as the hammock relaxed with use. However, I will say I have been very satisfied with this hammock. We left it out all last summer (rain or shine) and it still looks great. The ropes are also soft.

Technically it is only rated to 150 lbs. So that would exclude many adults. That being said I am 5' 10" and 230 lbs. and I have slept in it. It is not as long as my ENO Double nest for sure. My ENO is rated to 400 lbs. and comparing the construction of the two hammocks I would say that the materials and workmanship of the Hennessy is equal to or better than that of the ENO. If you are using it in a thoughtful manner I would say that it would be fine for adults, certainly if they are shorter than 5' 10"

The stand is surprisingly stable especially for this price and while being relatively light-weight. I haven't put two people in it but you would be more likely to swing out of the hammock than to have the stand tip over.

Hi, I'm not really sure. Turns out that the hammock stand I bought was too small for this particular pillowtop so with just one person on it, we were practically touching the bottom of the stand. Make sure to look into that because the shipping costs to return it was double of what the pillowtop actually costs so I ended up keeping it and it's not even being used.

The actual wooden stand is 14' long, so unless you can add a small chain to both sides of your hammock, it will not fit.

Mine didn't come with a wood stand. We put it in between two trees and bought chain to hang it accordingly.....I would buy the hammock, 100% worth the money and buy a stand that fits accordingly.

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

I would say you could make it work depending on how your hammock is designed. ENO hammocks have carabiners on either end of the hammock to attach to the loops of the slap straps. If your hammock has carabiners, or if you can attach carabiners to the ends of your hammock, then the slap straps will work.

I believe it says in the description for this stand that it's for use with hammocks with the spreader bar. I don't have a wrap around type hammock, but I believe they sag more than this stand can accommodate by design.

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!

My hammock has the support hooks 140" apart. If you measure your frame and the end hooks are more than 140" (11'8") apart, it'll workThe Amazon hammock comes with about 12" of chain if the frame is longer than 140"

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.

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 :)

The stand is 12' from end to end, the hooks are about 3"to 4" down from the top. If your hammock does not have a lot of stretch this will work. If it does stretch, I suggest the 15' stand, the 15' comes with chains that can extend the hammock length bu attaching to your rings
