Now you have purchased A beautiful, colorful hammock and you bring itto your backyard or patio which is a great place to relax and unwind, however as soon as you get there you realize that there's no suitable trees to hang it from! or even worse, you don't have a tree!! you start to think "what should I do?" Well, no big deal: there's a piece of hammock accessories called a hammock stand. Find out what your choices are, and how to select the best hammock stand for your place.
Firstly, What kind of hammock do you have? Does it have spreader bars at the ends or not? Since it is important to know that a hammock stand has a specific design for each type of hammock, for instance: a hammock stand for hammock with spreader bars is not suitable for a hammock without them. The reason is simple - hammocks with spreader bars are flatter and usually hang much closer to the ground than the traditional kind. Most sites that sell stands for hammocks indicate whether the stand is for a hammock with spreader bars or not, but if it is not clearly marked, ask the retailer before making your final choice.
Secondly, there are two major options - wood hammock stands and metal stands. Metal Hammock Stand is an easy and affordable solution. As metal stands are durable, light-weight and don't require much maintenance. They are also very easy to put together, whenever you want to get some hammock time, and pull apart, whenever your hammock is not in use. You can usually get stands made of steel or stainless steel. I would suggest you to get Stainless steel stands although they are more expensive, but they are really a better option. Stainless steel hammock stands will not rust and look like new for many year. While Steel stands are usually painted but at some paint could chip off and the stand will rust.

Wood Hammock Stand add a touch of elegance to your backyard or patio design. The most popular type of wooden stand is the Roman Arc hammock stand, made from cypress wood. It is also the safest and most stable design. However compared to metal stands, they require some maintenance - such as to treat your wood stand once a year with water repellant. This way the wood keeps its beautiful color. Bear in mind that in general wood stands are more expensive than the metal ones. Second, large wood stands are not portable because they are heavy.
So I've done my part of explaining of what-you-need-to-know about hammock stand, you might want to start searching for the most suitable hammock stand, I am sure the ads in this article will help ;-)
But what if I have one tree, do I still need a hammock stand?
If you have one tree in the area where you want to hang your hammock, there is no need for a stand. Simply hang one end of your hammock on the tree and get a hammock post for the other end. Posts are usually made from stainless steel. They cost much less than a full stand and also look less intrusive. Problem solved.
