Hammock Stands

When hammocks originated in Central and South America they tended to be hung from trees. As hammocks became more and more popular in western countries, where populations tend to be more urbanised, they began to be designed to hang from cross beams of a patio, or even indoors. Another great option that developed over the years for places where it is not possible to hang hammocks between trees is the hammock stand, or frame. This type of set up provides you ultimate comfort without having to rely on your immediate environment to provide support for your hammock .

A hammock stand's great advantage is that it can be moved.

Another advantage that hammock stands have over more traditional methods of hanging hammocks is that you are not restricted to one spot as they can be moved. This advantage really becomes apparent if you want to lie in the sun for a while and then move to the shade, you can simply move the hammock on the stand whereas with hammocks hung by trees, you have just one option. Alternatively if you want to remain in the sun you can move your hammock and stand as the sun moves across the sky and more of your garden becomes shaded.

When choosing a hammock stand it is important to check what kind of hammock you have and if the stand will be compatible with it. One of the main things to check for is whether your hammock has spreader bars or not. These are the two wood bars on each end of the hammock that spread the hammock open, some hammock stands are made specifically for these kinds of hammocks. However, many hammocks are made without wood bars on each end. Mayan style hammocks, Mexican hammocks and Brazilian hammocks fall into this category.

Wooden Hammock Stands are usually treated for outdoor use. (Click to enlarge)

Hammock stands come in a variety of sizes, styles and materials. Perhaps the most popular type of stands are wooden hammock stands. These usually come in hardwood which is treated so that they are able to withstand the elements and be used outdoors as well as indoors. Another common material that hammock stands are made of is metal, again the metal is usually treated so it can be used outside without rusting.
