We recommend that the centre of the hammock when pressed down is between 30 to 45 cms from the ground. High enough for your feet to touch the ground when you sit on the side of the hammock with your legs overhanging the side.

The optimal distance for hanging a hammock can vary anywhere between 13 to 16 feet from support to support. The ideal distance for most hammocks is 15 feet. Keep in mind that the closer together your anchor points are, the more slack and arch your hammock will have. The ideal distance for any hammock is about two feet more than the whole length of the hammock when measured from ring to ring.

With so many hammock options available, there are almost unlimited places you can place them. The key to placement is to be sure the structure can support the weight capacity or an equivalent of a 4x4 to hold the body weight.

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.

Hammock stands are normally 15 feet in length. Our hammocks easily fit in these stands but may need a bit of extension rope or a small length of chain in order to hang properly. If you are looking to hang a hammock between two trees/posts, then 12 feet apart might be a target distance. All of our regular sized hammocks are around 13 feet long. To fit a tight spot, you can also tie a large knot with the white cords on the end of each hammock in order to shorten the overall length.

The easiest and portable method to attach to two trees is Hammock Tree Straps. The strap loops around the tree and has a ring on the end to attach an “S” hook to each hammock end. These straps are tree friendly, made of polypropylene, and do no harm to the tree. The straps can be installed within minutes – perfect for camping or for moving your hammock from place to place. Naturally they can be installed in your favorite spot and only brought in during harsh seasons.

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.

The recommended distance from the ground for placement of the tree hook is between 4 and 5 feet. If your supports are closer than the above recommended distance, the tree hooks should be raised.

Hammock chairs or swings should be hung from a location capable of supporting at least 600 lbs. Overhead beams, supports, overhangs or tree limbs are some examples of what you can hang your swing on. Usually, a beam size of 4" X 4" is more than adequate to support this load.

It's important to measure the space between the trees before you hang your hammock. You want to leave approximately 1' - 2' more than the total length of your hammock to make sure it hangs correctly. Our single hammocks are 11' feet long, and all fabric and rope hammocks are 13 1/2' feet long. However, some differences may occur; it is important to remember that a new hammock is like a new pair of jeans: "wear" your hammock as much as you can to stretch it to its full comfort level.

From a beam, install a J-Hook or Eye bolt horizontally only and attach the proper length of chain to bring the hammock chair to about 18” off the ground. Your feet should be flat on the ground or floor to easily get in and out of it.. If you install a j-hook or eye bolt straight up into the ceiling, every time you get in your chair that bolt will move slightly. Sooner or later it’s coming down. You must always install large single bolts horizontally.

The optimum distance between trees for hanging a deluxe hammock is 15 feet. For a single hammock, 12 feet of distance is needed. If the trees are less than the recommended distance, it will be necessary to raise the location of the tree hooks.

Our Mayan Hammock is the most versatile type of hammock for hanging in a wide variety of spaces and situations. Because you lay across the grain, or bias, of the hammock you can hang your hammock in the extreme vertical of a small space or add additional rope to stretch across wide spaces (see picture to right). Our Deluxe Free Hanging Chair and Hammock Chair are great for tight spaces because they hang from a single point at the top.

Hammock chairs or swings should be installed just far enough to keep it from hitting any walls or objects when swinging. We recommend at least 3 feet from all sides.

Hammocks represent a portion of a network. They are defined in a similar way to activities, except that:- You must give the hammock a code and a description and may, if you wish, also assign selectcodes and milestone dates. The scope of the hammock is given by specifying a Start and Finish activity. The hammock's duration, dates and floats are all calculated from the dates of its Start and Finish activities.

Typical installations to date have used 2M or 5M cables. The system may be up to 15M from the screen.

The Minnesota Driver's Manual recommends a minimum 3-second following distance between your vehicle and the vehicle ahead of you. This rule applies to passenger cars and light trucks traveling in ideal conditions. When conditions are less than ideal, you must increase the amount of distance between you and the vehicle ahead of you.

The BeachBarCam is mounted on a palm tree at the entrance of the Brisa del Mar Restaurant. Ask the staff there for details. For best positioning, stand about 10-15 feet (3-5 meters) away from the camera. If you want to use a sign to send a message, make sure the letters are drawn thickly (at least 1 cm / .5" thick), in dark lettering on a light colored, but non-glossy background (to minimize glare).

If the piece does not have an additional hanger welded on, we suggest using finishing nails (nails without large heads). On every piece there is a part that is closest to the wall that will act a natural "hanger" such as the toes of a lizard. You should use it to hang the piece on nails.

Three thousand years ago when Mayan people only knew sisal cord which is obtained from the "henequen plant" grown all over the Yucat?n Peninsula, hammocks were woven with the sisal cord they obtained from henequen. Hammocks are still woven in this cord. They are strong but some people think they are less comfortable than cotton or nylon because of the roughness of the sisal cord.

Rope hammock - mild solution of soap and water in a bath tub, then air dry. Try to keep the spreader bars out of the water as much as possible. Quilted hammock - mild solution of soap and water and use a scrub brush. Hose off completely, then air dry. Also, bleach or spot remover can be used for problem areas.

Helpful Hint: Take a string and tape it to a shape of a shade/globe made from cardboard, then tack or tape the string to the ceiling where you want the light fixture to hang. Adjust the string to different heights, then leave it there to live with for a while. Watch for vision blocking or positions where a head could come into contact. This will help you determine the right height for your custom fixture.

The concept of applying a laser scoring line for easy and straight opening wherever a zipper is applied, was developed for the customer's convenience. A distance of about 20 mm allows for sufficient shoulders for the fingers to hold the pouch and re-close it easily. Only in a square world... Eye catching shaped pouches can be as functional as they are attractive. Our pouches can be shaped to almost any form in order to match a graphic design, a functional grip or pour capability.

We can make custom signs or vinyl banners to almost any size that you need. What you need to determine is how far away your viewing audience will be and make sure the lettering is large enough. These calculations are based on the resolution (dots per inch, or DPI) of the image you provide. Uploading a higher resolution image means a larger image will look better at a closer distance. Uploading a lower resolution image means a larger image will look better from a farther distance.

Decide before putting the baby into the sling what way you are going to hold him. Be guided by his favourite position in your arms. Some like cradling, Snuggler style; there are the straight up and down types (Cosy Frogs); and the carry-me-round-nursing dudes (go for Lullaby Lie.) Each basic position uses the material in a slightly different way and it helps to 'make the hammock' before putting the baby in position. Snuggler Hammock: make a 45 degree hammock in front of you, i.e.
