Hanging Your Hammock
Finding an Angle:
The most comfortable way to enjoy your Mayan hammock is to lay at an angle with a droop in the middle. This ensures better distribution of weight, lessening tension, and greater back support. Feel free to experiment to find your favorite position.
Hanging Indoors:
Hang hammock from wall studs or ceiling beams. Find center of stud or beam and screw in hooks with a power drill. Ropes or chains can be used to compensate for extra distance. Never hang loops end directly from hanging hook. Suggested distance is 12+ feet.
Hanging Outdoors:
Can be hung from trees, strong fence posts, side of garage, patio beams, etc… Hammock should be hung about 6 feet from the ground. Use rope or chain to compensate for extra distance. Never hang loops end directly from hanging hook. Suggested distance is 12+ feet. you have any questions or you'd like to contact us with your hammock stories and pictures, we'd love to hear from you.
Getting Into your Mayan Hammock:
NEVER climb in feet first. Sit with your back to the hammock, as if you were sitting on a chair. Reach behind you and spread out the hammock before sitting (this will ensure you make full use of the space and your weight is distributed evenly). Now sit, lay back and relax.
