How high off the ground should I hang my hammock?

Island Hammock
Different hammock lengths (ring to ring) will require different instructions. We can only make recommendations and you will have to tweak the installation to suit you. If your hammock is 13 feet long you will want a space approximately 15 feet apart with a foot of chain or rope at each end to adjust the hammock up or down from the ground. The hammock hooks that you hang the hammock from should be at least 4 to 5 feet off the ground.

I put my hammock up on the stand and when I get in the whole thing sags to the ground. What's wrong?

FAQ :: Twin Oaks Hammocks Store
When you put your hammock on a stand it should initially be stretched very tightly, by hooking the rings of the hammock directly onto the s-hooks at either end of the stand. Essentially, it will be parallel to the ground. You may even need a helper to get it on the first time. The rope is new and fresh, but as you use your hammock more and more, it will develop more of a natural belly.

What is the difference between a ground set and a pit set?

Oak Creek Homes and Vic Cox Homes - Frequently asked questio...
In a “ground set” there is minimal excavating done to allow for the construction of the prepared pad onto which the home is placed and blocked. In most cases this is a concrete slab. The bottom of the frame is then set to allow for a crawl space area in the case of repairs and to assist in ventilation. Site conditions, such as high water tables etc., may require a ground set. In most cases this type of home placement is less expensive than a “pit set”.

Where should I ground my amp?

Amplifiers - FAQ
Your ground wire should be of the same gauge as your power wire and must make direct contact with the body of the car. Look for an existing bolt or screw that makes contact with the car body near the amp. Remove the bolt or screw, and scrape away any paint or grime. A star washer will help your ground wire maintain solid contact with the car body. Use a ring terminal on the end of the ground wire, to keep it securely fastened to the bolt or screw.

We recommend going to your local hardware store/Home Depot and buying two screw-in hooks. The hooks are approximately 3-4 inches long and about a ¼ inch thick. It is best to place them in a deck post (4x4), tree trunk, or something else that feels sturdy. Sinking them into drywall is not safe unless you are completely sure that the hook is going directly into the 2x4 stud inside the wall.
