Thoughts on patio and poolside living. A blog by Claire - The Patio Umbrella
How much room do I need to for my Amazonas Hammock?
Posting date: 7th August 2007 10:05
Many customers ask this question and it is a very sensible one!
Please follow these general guidelines:
FOR STANDARD HAMMOCKS (WITHOUT SPREADER BARS)
- The distance between the 2 fixing points should be at least 90% of the length of the hammock
- The height of the fixing points should be at least 40% of the length of the hammock
The heavier the weight you are intending to put in the hammock, then of course the lower the hammock with sink down
If you have a very large space then you use extra ropes etc in order to hang it

FOR HAMMOCKS WITH SPREADER BARS
The rule of thumb guidelines are slightly different for these:
- Distance between the 2 fixing points should be 120% of the total hammock length
- Height of the fixing points should be at least 25% of the length of the hammock
