i plan to hang this between two trees. What do i need to do this? Does it come with everything I need or do I need to buy something separately?

we hung ours between two trees and had to buy some rope to do that. We went to home depot and bought 60 feet of rope so my husband could wrap it around the tree instead of having to put anchors into the tree.

It comes with chains, however I do not believe they are long enough to go around a tree. They are only about 1 1/2 feet long.

Yes, Stansport Hammock Tree Straps. They are really great! Happy swinging :)

The answer depends on how far apart the trees are. You will get about a foot of chain with a screw anchor that comes with the hammock. What I did was utilize two separate sections of chain wrapped around each tree secured with a bold to form a loop around the tree. Then extend the separate sections of chain to each end of the hammock hook and just hook into the tree chains at your desired distance. Buy the sections of chain based on how far it is between the trees. I found rope was not satisfactory as it stretched.

Oh no don't hurt your trees! They sell these straps that you can use to secure the hammock with no pain to the tree. They were crazy cheap like $15 and work great, you can get them from Amazon too.

you wuld need the hooks on the trees - it doesn't come with that - but has chains

Yo may need to purchase a longer chain to wrap around your tree or drill/screw in your hooks into the tree. The problem you are facing is the right amount of distance between the trees for it to hang properly.

I hung my swing on a tree branch. You have to buy additional chain and hardware to hang it but if done properly, it works just fine. I tried using part of a rubber hose to protect the tree but this prevented the swing from swinging more freely. I had to remove the hose for it to swing properly.

For small to medium trees, I'd use Zip ties around the tree. Be sure to get black UV rated ones as they won't become brittle in the sunlight. For a larger tree; secure a wire loop around the tree, held at the height you want with a few eye bolts. Then zip tie the net to the wire. I also used bailing wire as supports to keep the net from sagging and blowing around.

Mine didn't come with a wood stand. We put it in between two trees and bought chain to hang it accordingly.....I would buy the hammock, 100% worth the money and buy a stand that fits accordingly.

It doesn't come with the stuff to hang it. You have to buy it seperatly. It only includes the chain

You could hang it from a swing set, though you might need to purchase some sort of hook attachment from a hardware store in orderfor the swing to attach to the swing set hooks. Just keep in mind the width of this swing since you will have side bars to consider on a swing set.

As long as the tree is sturdy, shouldn't be an issue. You'll need to supply all the attachment hardware; chain and bolts to secure the chain to the branch. The swing only comes with the rope and hooks shown in the pic.

Yes, wasn't real hard to do. I hung it on a chain that was already in place in my tree. But there are instructions for hanging from included hook.

I would recommend you install metal poles as they won't 'give' as much as the trees I tied mine to. Be aware that certain ropes will loosen and tighten when wet/ dry. We take ours down in the winter as we do not think it good to try to carry snow load.

We hung ours to an existing wooden swing set. It comes with two snap hook connectors that connects the two black ropes together on each side. We had to add chains to each side to lower the swing down, because the black ropes aren't long enough to hang from the frame on our swing set. That might be the only thing you have to add. Hope this helps!

Yes, it comes with the rope and clip to hook around a tree, and additional rope, in case you need to reinforce it. The rope is very good quality and extremely durable.

The one i ordered came with an ''S'' hook. THE ''S'' hook can be used in place of the top cotter pin to both hold the top on and allow for hanging. I have used a chain and metal plant hanger with no problem.

Hi Sehei, when I purchased two trees they were sold separately. I would NOT recommend this product if you intend to place it outdoors. This was a gift to a friend and in less than one years time both items were completely unusable. Both trees lights failed in that time and one of the trees metal "trunks" were completely deteriorated.

Comes with everything. You may want to purchase the tree protectors or I just used some towels.

We have included strips of wood for mounting-- there is one for the top of the box and one for the bottom. We also suggest screwing a scrap piece of wood into the tree just under where you will mount the box to use as leverage. Full illustrated instructions are included for mounting as well.

I just wrap it around a pole. You can buy a thing you put in the ground and hook it on it.

We did not. But it will depend on how high up you tree branch is. We did order the swing hanging kit too. It protects the tree and makes the swing much easier to hang and move if you need to.
