How to hang to a hammock

Hanging a Hammock is easier than you think! With our step-by-step guide, you can quickly create your own relaxation oasis – whether indoors or outdoors. Let’s get started!

Step 1: Find your perfect spot

Take the total length of your hammock and subtract 10% – this is the minimum hanging distance you’ll need. In the case of a double size hammock with a total length of 11' 6", for example, you'll need a distance of 9' 10" between your two trees, walls or posts. More is fine!

Step 2: Determine the points of suspension

Found a spot with a fitting distance? Now take the measurement of the hanging distance your spot provides (X). Divide that in half – that’s your perfect hanging height (Y)!

You’d prefer to hang your hammock off-center?

Step 3: Attach your suspension set

Depending on your spot of choice, you can now install your appropriate suspension solution at the points you determined in step 2.

For trees and round beams or poles, choose our TreeMount 2rope set.
If you’re working with walls, ceilings or square beams, the CasaMount 2rope suspension set will be your best friend.

Follow the instructions for your chosen system to ensure a stable and secure setup.

💡 Tip: Mix and matching of both suspension sets for e.g. tree-wall combinations works just as well! Simply choose TreeMount 1rope + CasaMount 1rope.

Step 4: Hang your Hammock

Pull the ropes of your suspension set through the loops of your hammock on both sides. With the integrated SmartHooks, you can now easily adjust the height of your hammock (or take it down) effortlessly.

Your hammock should hang with a slight sag and form a banana shape – this is the ideal position. Keep a distance of approx. 1' 4"– 1' 8" between the ground and the hammock so that you can get into it comfortably and swing freely.

Step 5: Lay Back and Relax

Now for the best part: Get into your Hammock and enjoy the moment!

💡 Tip: For maximum comfort, try the South American lying technique. Lie diagonally in the hammock, which allows the fabric to open up fully and positions your body in an ergonomic, horizontal posture – perfect for ultimate relaxation.

Relax and enjoy!
