A camping hammock is the ultimate rest stop for outdoor enthusiasts, not only does it provide a cozy place to rest, but it also allows you to enjoy the feeling of being surrounded by nature. However, building a solid and comfortable hammock may seem a bit complicated for beginners. Don't worry, this ultimate guide will take you step by step on how to build a camping hammock and introduce you to the unparalleled ease and benefits of the Skynest hammock tent.
How to Set-up a Camping Hammock
Step 1: Choose the right location
When choosing a location to set up your camping hammock, consider the following points:
1. Levelness: Find a relatively flat place, try to avoid sharp objects or uneven ground.
2. Safety: Avoid setting up on the edge of a cliff or where there may be falling rocks.
3. Shelter: If possible, choose a place with trees or other shelters that can provide extra shade and privacy.
Step 2: Hanging the Hammock
1. Determine the hanging points: Find two solid trees or other fixed points. The distance between them should be slightly wider than the full length of the hammock to ensure that there is enough room to lie down. Please be careful not to choose a dead tree as a hanging point to avoid danger if the tree breaks during the use of the hammock.
2. Secure the hammock: Secure the hammock suspension kit to the trees or fixed points. Use ropes or straps to fasten the corners of the hammock and make sure the knots are securely tied.
3. Adjust the height: Tree straps are hung at about 1.5 meters and both ends of the hammock should be at roughly the same height to avoid tilting. Generally speaking, it is appropriate that the bottom of the hammock should not be more than 0.5 meters from the ground. If necessary, the length of the rope can be adjusted to achieve the height you want.
Step 3: Check and Adjustment
1. Test stability: Test the stability and comfort of the hammock before full use. You can start by gently shaking the hammock to make sure the hooks and supports are secure.
2. Adjust the position: If you find the hammock tilting or uncomfortable, you can adjust the position of the hammock's hooks to make the hammock hang more smoothly and comfortably.
Step 4: Add accessories
1. Bug net and tarpaulin: For better protection against bugs and weather, you can install a bug net and place a tarpaulin on top of the hammock.
2. Drip line: If you are expecting rain, it is a good idea to tie a line to the sling so that the water can drain away before it flows into the hammock.
