How to hang a hammock?

Hanging a hammock is a fairly simple process, but there are a few key steps to follow to ensure it is done safely and correctly. Here is a general overview of how to hang a hammock:

1. Find two sturdy anchor points: Look for two trees, poles, or other sturdy anchor points that are at least 12 feet apart and can support the weight of the hammock and the person(s) using it.

2. Measure the distance between the anchor points: Use a measuring tape or a piece of rope to measure the distance between the anchor points to ensure the hammock will fit.

3. Tie the hammock's ends to the anchor points: Use the rope or straps that come with the hammock to tie the ends securely to the anchor points, making sure the hammock is at the desired height and tension.

4. Check the hammock for safety: Before using the hammock, make sure it is securely tied to the anchor points and that there are no knots or twists in the ropes or straps.

5. Test the hammock: Carefully get into the hammock to make sure it is stable and secure.

If you don't have trees or poles around, you can also use hammock stands which are specifically designed to hold up a hammock, and can be set up in any location.

It's important to note that if you are hanging a hammock in a public area, make sure to get permission and check any rules or regulations regarding hammock use in that area.

Over 30 years ago our founder Matthias travelled through South America in a canoe, sleeping in a hammock he made with the help of the Huaorani Indian tribe. It transformed his experience and gave him the rest he needed to travel through the dense rainforest, and avoid being bitten by the many critters that roamed the forest floors.

Returning to Germany he bagan to sell hammocks to his friends and family. Eventually demand grew and now Amazonas is recognised as one of the best manufacturers of hammocks in the world with factories in South America and around Europe.

All our hammocks are now made by skilled experts using only the best materials, which is why we are the only hammock manufacturer to carry the GS Quality and TUV Safety marks, which recognises the exceptional safety and quality of what we do.
