do I have to use a hammock that has a spreader bar? I have a mexican net type hammock with no spreader bar.

I believe it says in the description for this stand that it's for use with hammocks with the spreader bar. I don't have a wrap around type hammock, but I believe they sag more than this stand can accommodate by design.

Based on my experience, yes-- the hammock needs a spreader bar. I think the hammock would hit the slanted supports otherwise. For the type of hammock you have, you need to have upright supports at both ends.

Both the spreader bar and Brazilian style (without spreader bar) hammocks will fit the 15Beam. However, depending on the size of your hammock, you may need to add some chain to make up the difference in length. For many smaller yards, the UHS9 stand for a Brazilian style hammock is better as it's only 9 feet long. The 15Beam is definitely 15 feet long.

Whomever,No, you do not have to use a spreader bar with the 3-beam frame. A net type hammock will work fine.Wrex

It wouldn't work too well with spreader bar hammocks. The max dozer is hard to gauge. I have a vivre double hammock that I bought off of amazon. You could technically put a bigger one on. I wouldn't recommend much bigger than that though.

I think this hammock may be too big for your frame also. I used it between two trees that were about 13 ft apart, and it worked okay there. Even though it is a nice looking hammock, it only lasted one season.....a cord broke in the fall and so it was no longer useable.

Actually, laying on a hammock at a diagonal is the correct way to do it. This ensures you are comfortable and flat, instead of squeezed into a curve and swallowed up by the sides of the hammock.

We use it with a rope spreader bar hammock and it works great. This is a really good stand and I plan to get a second one this season.

Both. And the netting is made into the hammock, so if you wanted a no-net hang (for whatever reason) you'd just flip it over. When it's cold, the netting seems to hold the warmth in too. Just saying. ..

Don't know. We are using a standard 2 person hammock with ours. Sarah Boston

No, the S hooks do not come with it. Unlike some of the other comments I had read, we have not had any problems at all with disconnection. If it is hung properly there should not be any problems and that was the case with another hammock that I had for more than 10 years at my last house.

No, but in my several months experience sleeping in this hammock you don't need them, the ropes supplied do not appear damage the tree anymore than the tree straps do (and by that I mean the trees appear unmarked), and the tree straps and carabiners just add weight to your pack. If you still want tree straps I purchased a set from the manufacturer but I just don't use them; no need.

I would get the size that is pictured in the photo. I'm not sure what size it is but it needs to be for a large size hammock because the hammock in the picture is very large. I have a stand and it was too small for this hammock so i had to twist the ends to get it to work without touching the ground when someone is on it. Sorry I can't be more helpful.

Hi Vinessa, I put my netting on the inside of the corner pieces and it was a little loose, but I'm looking at the factory picture and it looks like they put in on the outside. Maybe I put mine on wrong?!? No idea about the bar.

I don't really know although I imagine you can put the strips around a few bars as long as the width corresponds to the suggested size parameters. You can always order one and if it doesn't work return the item. My cats do like the hammock. I have seen cages w/hammocks in them at pet adoption shows.Good luck and safe travels.

You can adjust almost any hammock to fit comfortably within the frame by using two "ess" hooks and the desired amount of chain. By adjust, I mean not just that the hammock connects to both ends of the frame, but as important that it is off the ground and slack enough to rest/sleep comfortably in. Sorry about ending with a preposition and best wishes.

I'd go with a wide band design the same hooks are large while paracord will work in some situations but you risk uneven weight/ripping it if you don't know how to proper space the hammock or have proper knots

You are giving up versatility for the space the stand takes up. Actually, longer stands offer more flexibility when hanging your hammock. This particular stand was just a little to short for my hammock, and I had to hang fabric over one of the hanging forks to prevent the hammock from hitting the ground bar.

Just attach chains to the stand. Keep in mind... It doesn't include the stand. You have to buy stand or attach to two trees. It is a decent hammock though for the money.

We use an Eno two-person hammock and it works great. Should work with an 11 foot hammock, just need to add a longer chain.
