The Reclining Hammock Chair can be hung from any overhead beam or tree limb - the required height is 2.4 metres. If the beam or tree limb is higher than 2.4 metres, a rope or chain can be used and adjusted to suspend the Hammock Chair. If the height available is less than the required 2.4 metres, the spreader bar rope can be shortened to adjust the hammock seat to a convenient distance off the ground. This is normally knee height.

When connecting the hammock 'loops' on to the ends of the spreader bar, the rope knot must always be positioned on the outside of the loop. This will 'lock' the Hammock Chair on to the spreader bar. To achieve this it may first be necessary to pull the rope knot to obtain some slack rope. The knot can now be passed through the hammock loop before sliding the loop onto the bar end - the rope can now be retensioned.

The spreader bar must always suspend horizontally when the Hammock Chair is being used - the rope bend at the swivel snap can always be readjusted to level the spreader bar.

All components have been tested for load bearing strength. However, Hammock World recommends that customers periodically check all suspension points and hanging systems for wear and tear. Renew and replace all worn materials. Be Hammock Wise.
