Do you own a hammock but you’re not sure which stand to hang it from? Does your backyard lack trees? Maybe you need a hammock stand that can keep up with your adventuresome lifestyle? Sunnydaze Decor is here to help!

With lots of options out there, choosing the correct stand for your hammock can be both confusing and overwhelming.

Different hammocks can require different stands and that’s where we come in. We’ve put together a complete guide to help you make the best choice possible when choosing a hammock stand.

Below, Sunnydaze Decor has laid out all the different hammock stands we offer, and what type of hammocks can be used with them.

How to Choose the Best Hammock Stand

Before choosing a hammock stand, you’ll need to determine what kind of hammock you have or would like to have. To determine what size stand you need for your hammock measure your hammock’s length and then add two feet to that measurement. You will want to measure from one end loop to the other.

Now that we know the type of hammock and its length, we can get to the fun part, picking a hammock stand.

Information at a Glance 

The Multi-Use Hammock Stand

By far, our most popular stand is our Sunnydaze Universal Multi-Use Hammock Stand.

Just like the name implies, it allows you to use all different types of hammocks on it. It will fit any hammock between 9 and and 14 feet, which includes most standard spreader bar and rope hammocks. Additionally, this stand can be used with both Mayan and Brazilian hammocks.

The Universal Multi-Use stand is perfect for someone who prefers to use a variety of hammocks without having to purchase a new stand for each one. The stand can be used both indoors or outdoors, has a 550-pound weight capacity and come in a variety of different color options.

Not All Hammock Stands Are Created Equal

Remember when you measured your hammock earlier? This is where you’ll need that measurement. The ideal space for properly hanging your hammock measures out to be two feet greater than the total length of your hammock.

Not all hammock stands are created equal and Sunnydaze Decor knows that. Which is why we offer both a 12 Foot Hammock Stand and at 15 Foot Hammock Stand. Do those three feet make a difference? You’d be surprised to learn that they do! Let’s break down the 12-foot stand first.

The 12-Foot Stand

Our 12-foot stand is perfect for smaller spaces or yards and can be used indoors or outdoors. The 12-foot stand has a weight capacity of 350-pounds and comes in different color options. This stand is perfect for spreader bar hammocks, however, rope, Mayan and Brazilian hammocks cannot be used with this stand. For those hammocks you’ll need our 15-foot stand.

The 15-foot Stand

Our 15-foot stand can accommodate a standard spreader bar hammock, but it is also capable of supporting a rope, Mayan or Brazilian hammocks as well. It has a 400 pound weight capacity, can be used indoors and outdoors and comes in different color options.
