Welcome to our Community Q&A page for Hammock Stands.

Any recommendations? I would love to spend less than $150 but I am flexible. I'd like a comfortable hammock (with stand) that can fit two people. Has anyone seen anything like this when shopping for patio furniture? Thank you!

my hammock is about 13 feet 6 inches from tip to tip including the chain link that attatches it to the stand. Thanks!

I'm looking for a two person hammock, probably able to hold 500 pounds. It will be used outdoors. I'm looking for something with minimal maintenance yet comfortable. I plan to tie it to two trees versus a hammock stand.

when I got the hammock I sprayed it with rustoleum - but it rusted. It has the stand that is in pieces - so I took it apart sanded the edges and the rusty spots (the edges/joints and the spots where it touches the grass) and again sprayed it with rustoleum and again it rusted!! Is there something else I can do? It is a rather heavy stand and it takes a lot to sand and respray this and I would rather not have to do it each year!! Please help!!

Can I bury a few feet of two 4x4's in the ground and hang my hammock on it instead of getting or building a big hammock stand? We just moved and have no good trees for the hammock.

I am overwhelmed with the options on finding a hammock and stand. I want a cloth type hammock that is strong enough to hold 2 average adults. I found a stand last week that i liked and now cant find on google or yahoo. im looking for a stand that will break down small enough that i can pack into backseat or trunk. Id like to keep it affordable. Under $150 for everything including shipping. Any assistance would be appreciated.

I have two 4x4 posts and was told that for a hammock i would need to dig the holes 5 ft down-put the 4x4 posts in and then back fill with cement. Problem is the ground is extremely hard and I am tapping out at 4 ft. Does 5 ft seem right as far as the depth needed for a hammock?

I have a hammock but no decent trees so i need a cheap hammock stand. If online, please send a link. Thanks.

I caught a fleeting glance of a curved hammock stand, it seemed to be made of only about 5-7 pieces of curved and strait pieces of lumber. I have searched the bowls of the internet and can't find any way to curve sturdy lumber, please help. thank you ha, well of course im up for a huge learning expreince. But before I jump in, I guess i really just want to know, how expensive it will be to actually bend wood (as in equipment).

I'm about 5'5, 140 pounds if that helps. But I was just wondering if it would be comfortable enough, and not bad on your back. I was planning on getting a camping hammock, not the kind you see on the beach, and putting it on a hammock stand in my room. Thanks.

I have just had a new patio laid and on there stands my swinging wooden hammock. Since having all the rain recently the teak oil appears to have washed off at the edges and stained my patio slabs.Any ideas for getting rid. Thanks

hey, im about to get a rope hammock with a steel stand, preferable i would like the stand to have wheels on one side so if i needed to move it i could just wheel it away. I have found a stand and rope package at BROOKSTONE (a store in the mall) but if anybody has it please let me know if it is crappy or not because it doesnt seem the best of quality.

hey, i just got a hammock today from brookstone. I hung the hammock on the steel stand, like the directions said and i sat in it only to hit the ground... the directions said this is normal and that i had to keep on doing this until i was at a comfortable height. the only problem with this is that my hammock is now as tight as it can go on my stand and i am not that heavy and when i lay in it i am only a few inches from the ground, this is clearly not right, and rope hammocks stretch out rapidly, so... you see the problem here, ... what to do?

http://www.hammocks.com/hammocks/brazilian-hammocks/largebrazilianhammockwithspreaderbars.cfm here is the web site to look at the hammock... is it a cheepy or is it just a really good deal? does it come with everything? like the swing part and the stand b/c i looked it over and cant find anything lol

So many types ( http://www.homedepot.com/Outdoors-Outdoor-Living-Hammocks-Swings/h_d1/N-5yc1vZ1xh3Zarb0/h_d2/Navigation?langId=-1&storeId=10051&catalogId=10053 ) what type should I get? quickly!

I have a small concrete fenced in back yard area and want to set up a hammock. Anyone know of some hammock stands that take up minimal space, or does anyone have an opinion of what hammock is most comfortable. Rope, Quilted, Parachute, etc... Thanks

I've checked every website possible and I'm getting nothing. Any lead will be appreciated. I prefer working with wood. Thank you I would prefer building a portable stand.

Just got a new steel hammock stand which I know will hold up pretty good, but I live in Hawaii. Is there something more I can do to protect it from rusting?

I would like to make a portable geodome shelter for camping, music festivals, and general fun. The internet has told me that it is possible to make a pretty sturdy geodome with just about anything from newspaper to human hair to crystal and back again. I would like to make a shelter hearty enough to support at least one hammock and, in a perfect world, tall enough to stand up in. This model is appealing: http://www.eham.net/articles/11300 or possibly even a little bigger. What should I build this masterpiece with so that it won't implode with the addition of a hammock(s)? The website I quoted above suggests conduit; many of the prefab ones are made of PVC or something, which seems to me like it would be scary to hammock from. I don't have a lot of experience with conduit (I had to google what it was), but it seems like it can be made from a variety of metals. My thinking at this point is steel conduit. Is there anyone out there who is good at math, or who is knowledgeable about the capabilities conduit, who could back up this choice in a more educated sense than "steel is pretty strong... right?" OR, better yet, anyone with actual experience hammocking from their portable geodome? Also, if you have the time or patience to keep this in mind, I am hilariously poor, so while diamond rods would probably be ideal, that suggestion would be completely unhelpful. Thank you, fellow internet people!

Hammock stand? STAND only. When I look online (NZ sites only, I live in NZ) I can only find really intensely luxurious stands for like $500+, or ones that come with the hammock aswell. Is there any way of making a stand? Could I make one from wood or would it have to be some sort of metal? Any ideas? Also if you know of any cheap & LEGIT online places that are overseas (USA or whatevs) I would consider, but shipping is likely to be insanely expensive. Cheers
