How To Hang A Hanging Chair Hammock
Part I: Hanging Styles For a Hanging Chair Hammock
First, decide on your hanging style! The diagrams below outline three ways to hang your Hanging Chair Hammock.
(1) Swing Style (no Spread Bar)
Hanging your hammock Swing Style allows you to rock back and forth, using your hammock as a cozy swing. When you hang your hammock this way, you will use two anchor points or a single sturdy tree branch.
(2) Swing Style (w/ Spread Bar)
Hanging your hammock Swing Style with a Spread Bar allows you to rock back and forth. It also helps you to hang your hammock in a smaller space (because the optimal distance between your anchor points is less than without a Spread Bar).
(3) Pivot Style (w/ Spread Bar)
Hanging your hammock Pivot Style with a Spread Bar allows you to rotate 360 degrees and drift gently while you relax. When you hang your hammock this way you will only need one anchor point.
Part II: Hanging Techniques For a Hanging Chair Hammock
Now that you've selected your hanging style, it's time to take a closer look at hanging techniques.
Each of the techniques shown below works with all three hanging styles.
Off A Tree Branch
Wrap ropes securely over your tree branch, then fasten the rope to the eyes of your hammock (using a knot or carabiner).
From An Overhead Beam On Your Porch, Patio or Deck
Wrap two ropes around the beam or post and attach each rope to an eye of the hammock (using a knot or carabiner).

How To Hang Your Signature Hammock
PART I: Hanging Techniques For A Classic or King-Size Signature Hammock
First, you'll want to scout out your location and decide which of the techniques below best fits your environment. Keep in mind these are just the most simple hanging techniques - not the ONLY ones - and you can always extend your hammock's reach with longer ropes!
Inside Your Home
To hang a hammock indoors, drill two hooks into a ceiling or wall beam. Use a rope or carabiner to link each hook with the eyes of the hammock.
Between Two Trees
Wrap a rope securely around each tree trunk and attach the ropes to the eyes of the hammock (using a knot or carabiner).
