What is the minimum distance from tree to tree for this hammock to hang correctly, i.e., not sag too much?

Mine is hung at 10'. Don't know specific requirements, but I wouldn't want it any less.

Yes, my hammock is between 2 trees 11 ft. apart. My husband uses slings which are used to lift heavy equipment with shackles.

I think the top of frame to top of frame is 11 feet something. You could hang it as I did with mine but the hammock sags so much you touch the ground when you are in it. My 4 year old grandson even hits the ground. If your hammock is something other than a normal hammock I would stay away from this.

I am at work but guess the trees are around 12 feet apart. It is a very nice hammock.

I have got mine between 2 trees which are around 13 feet apart. With the attached chain links and tree hanging straps http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B003XNMEZK/ref=oh_details_o05_s00_i00?ie=UTF8&psc=1, there is room to even extend it by another 2-3 feet. So you should be good.

Mine was 12 ft I think, and it's stretched to the max. It's made of criss crossed cords though, which stretch quite a bit, I don't know if fabric behaves the same way. The two diagonal bars actually have some wiggle room so they will move towards each other when the hammock pulls on them.

You need tree straps to go around the trees then you attach it to the straps. This hammock is very attractive however it is very unstable. You have to be very careful getting in or out.

I hang mine outside and I hang it about 26- 28 inches off the ground. I know that seems high but it has quite a bit of stretch and I don't want my butt on the ground. Mine hangs from a heavy duty tow strap which also has some stretch.

the hammock is between 10 -11 feet hook to hook - you need a 13-15' stand -

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 have had close to 400lbs in mine, the hammock itself will sag but have not had a problem with 2 people in it.

I hung mine at equal distance to the width of the swing (which is how I researched it)..the swing does not wobble but the length of my chains is short. I checked on a playground the other day and the distance between the hangers seemed to be more than 8 inches greater than the width of the swing.

My son said it's about 6 feet. Not sure how accurate that is but he has hung it around two medium size trees. However he recommends having a longer rope

Hi Fosh, while ours is strung between two trees that are 24'9" apart(measuring from the inside distance between the trees), the nylon ropes we use for the hammock are tied to the trees at 8'9" off the ground and extend 7' to the end of the carabiner, which ends up being 13'9" apart (adjust for your personal comfort). We used Chouinard/mountain climbing carabiners rated at 4000 lbs. If you have to use a stand, I suggest getting the largest one you can and if necessary, use nylon rope and climbing carabiners to attach to the the loops of the hammock. It will give you a wider "swing" in the hammock. Additionally, it makes it easier to remove the hammock before it gets wet. We bring ours in at nite and the carabiners make it easy. Another point...don't lay in the hammock if you have buttons on your back pockets. You may snag a string and break it like we did. It easy to repair by tying the strings back together in a double knot, but thought I'd bring it up as a cautionary tale. I hope this is helpful to you. I LOVE my hammock and hope you will enjoy yours as much. Lee

Looks like the hammock needs to be between 13' to 15' in length to accommodate the length of the stand. Your hammock will be shorter than the frame. Either the hammock or the stand should have come with two short lengths about 8 inches long so you can adjust the length to kit you needs.

U will need at least 15'. 20 would be better. This is a very large hammock.
