Maya XXL Aguilas Freestanding Hammock

The art of choosing the right freestanding hammock

We are all influenced by the price of items we browse on the Internet. Price, warranty, and advertised lifespan are the main factors that hold us back. While sometimes comfort is overlooked, it is just as important. There are two styles of hammocks: those with wooden spreader bars called bar hammock and those without (Latin American version, our specialty). The one with wooden bars must be stretched during installation (positioned lengthwise only and on the back), and the one without must be curved (positioned diagonally flat, fetal position, and sitting). However, most online offers concern stands made somewhat for both styles. Either not high enough or not long enough.

Specialists since 1988, at Tropical Influences, we have long worked directly with stand manufacturers to offer you generous dimensions. Compare the heights of a hammock stand with us and you will see they have nothing to do with the competition.

The ratio between the length and height of the hammock stand is decisive for final comfort. If your hammock is too tight, you will be stuck and bent in its fabric. If it is well curved, you will lie flat by positioning yourself properly, diagonally, with a soft and stretchable bedding. We have compiled for you all the advantages of having a hammock stand at home: Why use a hammock stand?

Stand maintenance

Nowadays, core treatments are ecological and no longer contain heavy metals or arsenic. This spruce stand will last a long time with minimal care. We strongly recommend applying a saturator that will protect it from rain and UV rays. Very important, this stand should not be stored dry during winter. The wood becomes too dry and cracks. Leave it outside all year without covering it and loosen each bolt by two turns to allow the wood to swell during the cold and humid winter period.
