How to install a Hammock Chair

You cannot really fall out of a quality hammock chair unless it has not been properly installed. That’s why the first thing to do, is to make sure your suspension is suitable. Not every tree or beam is safe and stable enough. Walls should not be too porous since the
embedding of the wall anchor must be solid and reliable. The best spots to hang it from are the ceiling, a beam, a branch or a swing.

How much Room is needed for a Hammock Chair?

The surface area required for a hammock chair / Lounger depends to a large extent on the length of its spreader. The regular use (no swinging) would require a diameter of the length of the spreader + 30 cm.

The lowest point of a hammock chair or Lounger in use should be between 30 and 40 cm above the floor. Please bear in mind that the use may extend your hammock chair / Lounger by up to 10p.c. In this case you simply shorten the rope.
