DIY Hammock Stands! What You need to Know About Hammocks

Sometimes you need a sturdy hammock stand in order to support the hammock. There are many different types of Hammocks, for example Brazilian and Mayan ones the most popular ones, they do not need any stand to support them. They can be hung directly between poles of two trees, two posts and with the ceiling joints. Never mind, hammock chairs that hang from the ceiling have become a staple in modern times.

Hammock Spreader Bars

When you buy a hammock from the market, the package might include all the hardwares along with a stand that you need to make up your set up. The hammock may or may not has spreader bars depending on the design. The ones that have spreader bars must be hung higher than those who do not have spreader bars. These bars are usually made of steel, aluminum or wood, they are attached together either horizontally or vertically, from each end to lay out the hammock bed and to spread its fabric.

Types of Hammock Stands

There tend to be so many types of Hammock stands, the most practical and functional ones are made with metal, steel, and wood. I am going to write down a brief over view of these stands below.

Metal Hammock Stands

They are very powerful, highly recommended for both indoor and outdoor hammock and very affordable too. They provide more weight support and comfort compared to wood hammock stand. They last for a long time because we all know that steel is the most powerful material out there, however, the only down time with steel is that it may catch rust.

Most metal stands require hammock with spreader bars, but it is optional if you choose to work on a DIY hammock plan that does not necessarily depend on these bars for set up.

However, it has to be of high grade, choose one that is idea for salt-water air environment, it might be little costly but it would be worthy in the end. Rust-resistant Steel hammock stand are worth it, you could use them for years with your hammock. There is just some investment involved but you get the best bang for your bucks.

For making your stand you may use any type of wood such as cypress, teak bamboo,cedar and cherry wood or any reclaimed barnwood that you believe would work for your DIY project. I suggest you to use cypress because this wood is really durable, it can be used for making hammock stands for hammock with or without spreader bars.
