How to Choose a Hammock Stand

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

The ratio between the length and the height of the hammock stand’s legs is decisive for the final comfort. If your hammock is too tight, you will be stuck and curved awkwardly in its fabric. If it is well curved, you will lie flat by positioning yourself as you should, diagonally with a soft and stretchable bedding.

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 stain or saturator that will protect it from rain and UV rays. Note, this stand should not be stored dry during the winter. The wood becomes too dry and cracks. Leave it outside all year without covering it and loosen each bolt by two turns of the wrench to allow the wood to swell during the cold and humid winter period.

Hammock Maintenance. A hammock should be machine washed at 40°C at least once a year at the end of the season. It is a textile product comparable to household linen. In short, don’t hesitate to wash it. Our colors do not bleed.
