Alabama Arabica - Padded Kingsize Spreader Bar Hammock

How and where can I attach my spreader bar hammock?

There are many ways to attach your spreader bar hammock: between two trees, two walls or two posts. Alternatively, you can mix and match options and hang your spreader bar hammock between a tree and a post, for example. It is also possible to hang it from the ceiling. The only thing that matters is the load-bearing capacity of the elements.

If none of these options are available to you, a hammock stand is a wonderful choice. You can place your stand wherever you like and move it around if necessary.

How much space do I need for my Alabama?

When hanging your spreader bar hammock, pay attention to the relationship between the distance and height of the suspension: The hanging height (y) should be about a quarter of the hanging distance (x). If you increase the distance between the suspension points, you should also increase their height accordingly.

Additionally, be sure that your hammock swings freely and does not touch or drag on the ground. This will protect it from scuffs and scrapes so you can keep your hammock in top condition for a long time.

What is the most comfortable way to lay in my Alabama?

We recommend positioning yourself lengthwise down the center of your hammock. When lying down, make sure that the center of gravity (heaviest part) remains in the middle of your hammock – especially if you want to relax with another person or two.
