About Hanging Distances

A Mexican Hammock will hang in any space of around 3.30 depending on the length of the hammock. The end hanging points to attach your hammock should ordinarily be mounted 1.60 m to 2.4 m off the ground. You may wish to hang it higher or lower depending on the distance between your supports and on your personal preference. If you have less space, try hanging the hammock higher or make a knot close to the loop (of the hammock, this helps to shorten the length of the hammock without affecting the comfort of the hammock.

SHORTENING HANGING DISTANCE:

If your hanging distance is between 2.90-3.30 meters  you can make your hammock shorter, making knots close to the loops (If you do it  in both sides you can short your hammock around 40 cm). We strongly recommend you to make the knots close to the loops not to the body and you can make one or two knots in each side to adapt to your hanging distance.

HOW TO MAKE A LONGER  HANGING DISTANCE:

 

If your hanging distance is to long you can adjust it with your pair of tree straps (Sold separately)
