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.

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.

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.

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.

The distance between a hammock's o-ring and the tree should be about one foot. For distances beyond this, it may be necessary to use chain or strap extensions. The hooks or straps should be mounted about 4½ to 5½ feet from the ground level. When installing the hooks, make sure they are sufficiently secured to hold the weight and stress necessary to support the hammock and its user(s).

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.

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 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.

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.

No. We do send colorful cards, so they can be used as decorations on a tree that your group already has. Some groups hang the cards on garlands, such as might be used to decorate cubicle aisles or hallway walls. Need more ideas? Visit Host Suggestions.

The best spacing is about one tree in an area measuring 30 feet x 30 feet, or 50-60 mature trees per acre. Initially, a maple grower may start with a higher density of trees but will thin several times to achieve a final density of 50-60 trees per acre. The bottom 4-6 feet or tapping zone will be reduced in value by defects associated with tapping. Above this zone, the quality of the wood will not be affected by tapping.

Although tree hooks will not affect the health of a tree, they will leave a hole on your tree. Tree straps provide an alternative to tree hooks and allow you to move your hammock very easily. Also, tree straps allow you to adjust the height of the hammock without putting holes in your tree.

In order to properly measure circumference, it must be determined whether the tree in question has a single trunk that can be measured or whether it represents two or more trees growing very close to one another. Trunks that have clear separation at or near the ground should be considered separate trees and measured accordingly. Also if the circumference measurement below the lowest fork places the measurement at the ground, it should be considered separate trees.

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.

The Association asks that homeowners be courteous to their neighbors in ensuring that their trees are properly trimmed and maintained. This is considered a neighbor to neighbor issue. However, the Association recommends that neighbors contact each other in writing and request proper tree trimming.

The Arbor Day Foundation does not condone the practice of tree topping. Topping creates many problems for trees including insect infestations and diseases, weak limbs, shock and starvation to the tree and poor aesthetic qualities. For more information on tree topping, please contact Member Services for Tree City USA Bulletin #8 "Don't Top Trees". This bulletin is available for $3.

Tree lawn trees are trimmed by the City on a priority basis depending upon how hazardous the condition is. To make a tree trimming request, call the Public Works Department, 216-491-1490.

All of the trees around the Survivor Tree are fruit or flower-bearing trees that represent the fruits bore by the efforts of the rescue workers. The trees immediately surrounding the Survivor Tree are the Oklahoma Redbud and represent the first responders to the scene. The remaining trees are Chinese Pistache and Amur Maple that represent the nationwide effort.

Per the Ordinance any tree that has been approved for removal will need to be replaced with another tree from the County's Recommended Tree List. (Section 12.11.140 ) This restoration is necessary to preserve and sustain the integrity and vigor of the urban forest. An urban forest is a significant contributor to community image, pride, and quality of life. The urban forest of Alameda County serves its residents by providing benefits that:

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.

Little Tikes does not make swings that hang from tree branches, other than our popular Disc Swing. Following are the recommendations we make in regard to our swings... Swings should be hung at least 15 inches from the side of the swing set, from other swings, or any other objects. The majority of Little Tikes swings are designed to be hung from store-brought, standard-size swing sets. The swing S-hook should not be hung on a stationary hook that has no nylon bushing.

Personal preference indicates--multiple locations on private land would lean towards EZ hang hook and strap.

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).
