Before hanging your hammock, you should be able to answer the following questions:
-
Location: Where will the hammock be hung?
-
Distance: What is the distance between the two hanging points?
-
Robustness: Are the walls and trees robust enough to support the weight of the hammock?
-
Fastening: How will the hammock be fastened?
Hanging Height and Distance
To lie comfortably in your hammock, the hanging height should be half of the hanging distance.
Example: For the organic hammock Flora Chilli with a hanging distance of 360cm, the hanging height should be 180 cm.
Note: A hammock should sag nicely.
Fastening the Hammock
To ensure a comfortable and relaxing time in the hammock, attention should be paid to its fastening. There are many different fastenings with varying degrees of load capacity.
Is a fastening set included with your hammocks?

Below you will find an overview of the fastening options and what you should consider.
Hammock on a Tree
When fastening to trees, a few things must be observed:
-
Tree Robustness: Is the tree trunk wide enough to support the weight?
-
Protecting Tree Bark: Some tree species have very sensitive bark, which is why we recommend using tree protectors or special tree slings. The Tree Mount Black fastening set is highly recommended here.
-
Tree Spacing: Is the distance between two trees too great? No problem, because with the help of tree slings you can also stretch the hammock across a large garden.
You only have one tree?
That's not a problem, because with the help of a hammock stand, a wall, or a stake, you can "replace" the second tree.
Hammock on the Walls
Even when hanging the hammock on the wall, some things should be considered:
-
Wall Load-Bearing Capacity: In rare cases, walls are not load-bearing. However, it also happens that in old buildings, for example, the walls are porous.
-
Distances: The walls to which the hammock is attached should have the necessary distance.
