How do I hang my Camping Hammock on a Tree?

Choose two hardwood trees with a minimum of 12 inches in diameter and a minimum of 12 feet apart.

You can also set up 1 post mount if you only have 1 tree available. Appropriate hardware like 2 eye screws with hooks, or tree straps and S hooks need to be used for support and attachment to trees.

Chains and S-hooks are recommended but may not be necessary if you are limited in space between the 2 mount points.

If your hammock is too tight it will make the hammock unstable and will cause flipping. The middle of the hammock at its lowest point should be between 8 inches and 3 feet from the ground.

With use, your hammock might stretch and may need further adjusting.
