You have bought a hammock, but don’t know how it works or should I say you don’t know how to hang the hammock. Well, the process is easy, and you can do that by on your own. You only need to follow the guide that I have discussed in the below blog.

Guide to Hang Your Hammock

Follow this guide to hang your hammock and sleeps in comfort.

Part-1: Hanging Style for Hammock

First, you need to decide what would be your hanging style. Now, hanging your hammock Swing Style allows you to rock back and forth, using your hammock as a cozy swing. When you hang your hammock this way, you will use two anchor points or a single sturdy tree branch.

Hanging your hammock Swing Style with a Spread Bar allows you to rock back and forth. It also helps you to hang your hammock in a smaller space (because the optimal distance between your anchor points is less than without a Spread Bar).

Hanging your hammock Pivot Style with a Spread Bar allows you to rotate 360 degrees and drift gently while you relax. When you hang your hammock this way, you will only need one anchor point.

Part-2: Hanging Techniques

You have selected your hanging style. It’s time to take a closer look at hanging techniques. Now, each of the techniques shows these works with all three hanging styles.

Inside Your Home

First of all, drill hooks into a ceiling beam and assign them with rope to the eyes of your hanging chair hammock by using a knot. More detailed instructions for hanging a hammock indoors.

Now, wrap ropes securely over your tree branch, then fasten the rope to the eyes of your hammock by using a knot.

Wrap two ropes around the beam or post and attach each rope to an eye of the hammock by using a knot.

Part-3: Optimal Dimensions

The optimal width would be 44 in / 3.75 feet, optimal height would be 67 in / 5.75 feet, and optimal height of seat would be 24 in / 2 feet.

However, the recommended range of dimensions for your hammocks would be as follows.

·         Range of Width (between anchor points) - 96 in - 132 in / 8 feet - 11 feet.

·         Range of Height (of eyes) - 54 in - 72 in / 4.5 feet - 6 feet.

·         Distance of Seat from Ground - 12 in - 30 in / 1 foot - 2.5 feet.

·         Between Anchors (Swing Style no Spread Bar) - 60 in - 75 in / 5 feet - 6.25 feet.

·         Between Anchors (Swing Style w/ Spread Bar) - 48 in - 58 in / 4 feet - 4.8 feet.

Now, all set now rock and enjoy swinging on the hammock.
