I have a cotton rope hammock and it sags, i don't like that! Would this sag too?

No. I mean it is a typical hammock it will "sag" a little, however, the hammock is adjustable. But I also bring mine in during heavy wind or rain, so that it doesn't stretch and ruin it. I love it!! I hope this helps with your decision.

yes, I use the same style hammock you do. If I happen to get one with spreaders, I immediately remove them and re-tie the knots ;-) Your hammock should fit fine, you will not use anything but S hooks though...

It may sag a little, you have to tie it up tightly. I have had 3 of these now at various properties, I think they are really good.

I have to buy a new hammock that is much heavier to give me stability. I had the same problem so I experimented. The higher/tighter you make the hammock you flip. You guessed it it is situated close to the ground. I wish this company would give us credit for a real hammock.

I just emailed the company about shortening the length and was told that I can tie a knot at the ends. Each knot will shorten it by a foot and it will not damage the hammock.

Hi Carolyn,I purchased two of these last summer for full sized hattaras hammocks. These stands are substantial and will support a lot of weight. The stands are not adjustable. However, my hammocks have a chain at each end and I can put different links of chain on the hammock stand hooks and that adjusts the tension of the hammock and the amount of sag I get when someone lies down in it. They are very nice and substantial stands.

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!

I don't know. I have the same problem with my canopy as well. I found a pole that was long enough to stick up under the roof where it sags and I put it in the space under the grommet when it rains. It works out well for me. The water just runs off the area corner that sags.

The hammock is 160" from the edge of one hanging ring to the edge of the other ring, so roughly 13 1/3 ft w/out figuring in the "S" hooks used in each hanging ring. You could mount the hammock high enough to keep it from touching the ground, but I wouldn't think it to be very comfortable w/ so much sag.

I have had this clothes line "umbrella" since March. the lines are continuous around the device - that is, one line goes on all three sides. I have not noticed any excessive "sagging" - the lines are not too terribly long - so perhaps that limits the sag. The line could be easily tightened by taking out the excess where it is currently "knotted" -

Mine isn't that pattern. However, the hammock didn't hold up well. I should have bought a nags head

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

yes it would all though I believe its possible the hammock would hang too low. if its a small or midsized bar hammock the arms of the stand should adjust high enough to hang it.

What Christa K. Barker-Myers said could help you. If it is too tight, having the hammock is going to turn from something relaxing to a crazy balance act. Also, just be aware, this hammock was designed to hold two people at once, so it's center of gravity is going to be a bit different from what you would get if it was for just one person.

Be careful when you extend (open) the tent not to push the tab (lock) too far towards the bottom. It will click ever so lightly, The top will still sag a little. Sounds like you opened it too far. Check the tap lock on the front right leg.

I would think it would if it is a regular sized hammock. My hammock was a N. Carolina type and it does not work.

With the way it is designed, I don't believe you can get the sag out. The material will just stretch. I stretched mine across a pergola therefore giving it support and hence the disappointing review due to the inability to pull the edges straight and taught..
