How high up do you recommend this hammock needs to be hung? I'm worried that we will sink to the ground. Also what sort of straps do we need? thanks

Hello The ideal distance to hang the hammock is 1.8 meters from the ground About the distance between the posts, trees, walls must be minimum 12 feet You can use any nylon Rope or Straps to extend the hammock in larger distances If you need more assistance Please contact us again The Hammocks Rada Team

We hanged ours on our preexisted trees large trunks. The trees are about 13 feet apart and about 4 1/2 feet high point of where we have chains and hooks (the one that allows us to hook unhook kind).

I use a hammock stand which has a chain with hooks to hook the hammock to the stand. It's adjustable to whatever height you want it to be.

I bought tree straps from Amazon. Height is personal preference, length of straps, span between trees etc. no way to answer that question. It's trial and error.

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.

the hammock is between 10 -11 feet hook to hook - you need a 13-15' stand -

It says in the description: "this hammock will fit any 15 feet long hammock stand". And that happens to be almost the exact distance between my two trees. Now, your stand is four feet shorter than that (under eleven feet), and of course it will work but it will probably be sagging too much and will probably touch the ground in the middle if you hang it from the farthest outside chain links.Now, if you choke up on the hammock by hanging it from the farthest inside chain links, it could possibly start hanging off the ground, but I'm not 100% sure about that. I would have to guess that 11 feet might be too short of a distance. Hope this helps. It says in the description: "this hammock will fit any 15 feet long hammock stand".

I do not use a stand for my hammock... I love it so much I built it a covered deck! I hangs between two 6x6 supporting posts on opposite sides of the deck. They are 12 foot apart. (I bought a set of "hammock tree straps" from Amazon to hang it from the posts.) The cotton rope that comprises the hammock does stretch, though, so for the 12 foot distance to work, it has to hang pretty high - about 6 foot with the hammock straps - to keep the center of the hammock high enough off the ground that it is easy to get in and out of. However you hang it, though, GET THIS HAMMOCK!!! You will never be sorry! I do not use a stand for my hammock... I love it so much I built it a covered deck!

Yes. That should be sufficient. If you find it needs a bit more room, you can always hang it higher. I'm pretty sure the space where we hang our hammock isn't even 10'.

I recommend getting a tarp now with your hammock because you can never predict when you will need it. It's one of those "its better to have it and not need it than need it and not have it", I have used mine when i did not expect it and there are many other uses for it as well.

We use an Eno two-person hammock and it works great. Should work with an 11 foot hammock, just need to add a longer chain.

I think the top of frame to top of frame is 11 feet something. You could hang it as I did with mine but the hammock sags so much you touch the ground when you are in it. My 4 year old grandson even hits the ground. If your hammock is something other than a normal hammock I would stay away from this.

I strapped mine to two trees but I'm guessing a 7ft stand that holds at least 450lbs like the hammock. Hope that helps

Sorry, I misread the question and thought you were talking about another hammock I bought. I have not used this hammock and can't tell if it would hold. However, looking and feeling the fabric and would guess that YES it would.

I can't wait to hang ours on our porch. Large screw in hooks can damage trees. I have seen a a regular swing hung with thick strapping. An arborist may have a suggestion.

I'm not really sure of what size hammock stand would be suitable for this huge hammock since we bought it for our summer camping out in a rustic setting and just put it up between trees.....the straps advertised with it worked really well to hold the weight of our lively bunch, and didn't seem to damage the bark on the trees selected for the task....it's going to be a fun addition to our camping tradition.

It might be a little too long for that.But any secure hook will work otherwise. It kinda stretches down as you lay in it so u might be close to the floor with a C frame. Otherwise, this hammock is really great and durable. We suspend it from our upstairs balcony.

I would suggest to either not hanging it so high up or having a ladder. I haven't had th luxery yet of camping in mine but that's th way I would go. I've thought about bringing a ladder.

You can hang a hammock from the ceiling. I believe it would work great. It holds two of my kids on a round swing and they are big

Yes, it would work fine, it's a nice hammock. We purchased the sort hanging straps so to protect the tree and it allows us to take it with us camping etc. Also easy to leave the straps and hooks up and disconnect in case of rain or if you are afraid of sap getting on it.

I am not familiar with the hanging chair but I don't think it will. I have a standard hammock chair in it and it bottoms out. I am trying to figure out how to raise it up. I think 66h is too high.
