Choosing Macrame Hammock Stand: Essential Tips to Always Remember

Consider the following tips when choosing a stand for your macrame hammock:
1. How do you want the hammock to be hung? Is it by ring or spreader bars? Various stands are available I’ll advise you choose carefully.

2. Do well to choose the length and width of you macrame hammock. Ensure the stand is built to carry the length of the hammock you want to fix. In doing this do not forget to make sure it doesn’t hang too high or too low.

3. Again, consider the location you want the hammock to be placed. Do you want it to be stationed in a particular place or will want it to be moved from one spot to the other, e.g., from the deck to the yard? The latter requires you also consider the portability of the macrame hammock stand. Most models have wheels attached to them at the point of purchase. If the model you wish to buy doesn’t come with the wheels you can place order for one when making the purchase.

4. Most macrame hammock stands are made of metal or wood.
• Metal stands are strong and last long, they are made of stainless steel. They come in different colors. I must not fail to let you know that they are affordable and easier to store since they come in pieces.

• Wooden stands are best suited for people who live in climatic conditions where macrame hammocks can be used all through the year. They are beautiful though not easy to store.
