Does this stand work with spreader bar type hammocks (and what problems do they have)? What max size of this type hammock can it hold? Thank you :)

It wouldn't work too well with spreader bar hammocks. The max dozer is hard to gauge. I have a vivre double hammock that I bought off of amazon. You could technically put a bigger one on. I wouldn't recommend much bigger than that though.

Spreader bars will not work on this type and I use a 13ft mayan hammock which is in fact too large.

I weight 300 and use this hammock. It might or might not hold, but in any case because of the design of the hammock one would ultimately end up on top of the other. Maybe that's your preference....

I use mine on a hammock stand but don't know how big it really is. I looks like it would. e 15 feet. it's all packed away for the winter in the rafters of our garage now, otherwise I would measure it. there are holes on the ends of our hammock stand that we put a S hook in that has a chain with another S hook on the other end that hooks onto the loops at the end of the hammock. Using S hooks and a chain make the hammock adjustable. we can make it higher or lower to the ground. hope this answer helps.

I am currently using it with a boom stand and it works pretty well. It's a bit heavy- I also have a pop filter attached to the front when I do that. I have the stand sticking almost straight up- tilted just a bit to account for the weight on the backside. When locked, it seems sturdy enough to hold. Just in case it starts to tip, I've been sticking a chair behind it. Hasn't happened yet, and I'm not sure how much help it would be if it did. Anyway- boom stand would probably work for short periods if yours is sturdy. Stewart's idea sounds better though. I may try that one at some point.

Both the spreader bar and Brazilian style (without spreader bar) hammocks will fit the 15Beam. However, depending on the size of your hammock, you may need to add some chain to make up the difference in length. For many smaller yards, the UHS9 stand for a Brazilian style hammock is better as it's only 9 feet long. The 15Beam is definitely 15 feet long.

Whomever, No, you do not have to use a spreader bar with the 3-beam frame. A net type hammock will work fine. Wrex

"U" type is not to be used with spreader bar. I bought this with the hammock and the second (last) video explains whyVivere Double Hammock with Space-Saving Steel Stand, Tropical

Absolutely NOT, that's why I got a 10 ft hammock ( hard to find) for this stand I had. I actually had to put a short chain at each end, depends on how high you want it

For this hammock, I bought the Vivere 15BEAM-BLK Heavy Duty 3-Beam Hammock Stand, 15-Feet Sold by: Amazon.com LLC It is really sturdy, well made and is easy to put together and disassembles easily for storage.

I use a hammock stand which has a chain with hooks to hook the hammock to the stand. It's adjustable to whatever height you want it to be.

My suggestion is to measure the distance across the stand and compare it to the hammock, if you don't have your old hammock . Remember you need include the chain and that it will stretch

No it will not, I too purchased that hammock Quilt and the stand is too small for that quilt. I have complained to the company. It is mis-guiding and im here to tell you that it wont fit.. the stand is too small even with adjustments

It has a 400 lb limit. I had another stand (different brand, I think), which eventually broke where one of the diagonal legs joins the base. I was using it a lot and there is some "wobbling". But I am pushing the 400 lb limit. On later stands, I've tried to minimize movement within the hammock and haven't had another problem. Good luck.

Wondering if you got this stand and if it worked with a Swingasan? We are looking into getting one but looking for a cheaper stand. Thanks!

Hi Shona, My hammock measurements are 135" X 55" overall length (75"L X 55"W bed length) and I used (2) S hooks with (2) 12" chains so making total of 159L with hooks, the day that I put it all together the 159 was tight but it gave in with use and I really believe your 158"L would fit if you buy little chain to extend. This stand is very sturdy material, if you are putting on top of a ground besides grass even better, I put it on my grass and bought a wheel that they sell separately to move around but grass keeps wet and it's rusting on bottom already but I don't care cause it's just where touches the grass, it's a quality product....

Not sure exactly, think it's about 9ft across BUT I do not suggest buying this item...the hammock that it comes with is a piece of garbage and it is virtually impossible to obtain just a hammock that will fit the stand because the hammock itself is not a standard size. Right now I have the empty frame sitting on my deck doing nothing because I can't find a hammock to fit it and the company has been of NO assistance!! Hope this helps you!

Hi, yes it fits up to a 15ft hammock stand. the hammock itself is 13 feet long.
