Hammock stands at a glance
Types of hammock stands in this collection
The collection groups four kinds of frame. Chair stands are the largest group, followed by full-length stands, portable stands and swing frames.
Hammock chair stands
A hammock chair stand is a freestanding frame for a hanging chair, swing chair or egg chair. Most chair stands here are heavy duty steel in a C-stand or A-frame shape. Some add a cup holder, a tray or a chain. One hanging chair stand measures 70.1 x 56.3 x 70.9 in (178 x 143 x 180 cm).
Full-length hammock frames
A full-length hammock stand is a long steel frame that holds a classic hammock between two ends. Lengths in this range run from about 9.5 ft (2.9 m) to 12 ft (3.7 m). One has six holes to adjust the length. Some suit string, Brazilian, flat and rope style hammocks.
Portable and folding stands
A portable hammock stand breaks down for storage and travel. Two stands in this range are foldable, one has wheels and one includes a carry bag. A folding hammock stand suits camping, picnics and moving a hammock between the yard and the patio.
Porch swing and swing chair frames
A porch swing stand is a heavy duty A-frame that holds a porch swing or a swing chair. Listed capacities include 528 lb (240 kg) and 770 lb (349 kg). Check the hanging height and the size of your swing before you order. See swings with a stand if you want the seat included.
Check each product page for exact sizes, capacity and what is included.
How do you choose a hammock stand?
Match the stand to the hammock
Measure your hammock from end to end. A stand should be a little longer than the hammock. Full-length stands here run about 9.5 to 12 ft (2.9 to 3.7 m). One adjusts for hammocks of 10 to 13 ft (3 to 4 m).
Check the weight capacity
Add up the weight of everyone who will use the hammock. Listed capacities start near 120 kg (264 lb). Pick a heavy duty hammock stand rated well above the combined load.
Choose the frame and finish
A metal hammock stand with a powder-coated steel frame stands up to weather better than bare metal. Wipe it dry after rain, and check the bolts at the start of each season.
Plan your space
Measure the floor and the swing arc. One chair stand in this range is about 178 x 143 cm (70 x 56 in). Leave extra clear space around it. Folding stands store flat when the season ends.
Where do hammock stands work best?
Backyards and patios are the most common home for a full-length stand. The frame needs no trees or posts, so you can place it in the sun or shade. Pair it with other patio furniture to build a relaxing corner.
Campers and travellers can use a portable frame. A folding hammock stand packs down for the car, and a carry bag keeps the parts together. Add a hammock from our camping hammocks collection for a full setup.
Porches, sunrooms and bedrooms suit a hammock frame or a chair stand with an indoor and outdoor listing. A hanging chair stand fits a corner, and an egg chair stand adds a cosy reading spot. Browse hammock swings for seats to hang.
How do you set up and care for a hammock stand?
Set a hammock stand on level, firm ground and tighten every bolt before use. Keep the feet flat so the frame does not rock. Wipe the steel with a damp cloth, dry it, and store folding stands indoors in winter.

Hammock stand FAQs
What is a hammock stand?
A hammock stand is a freestanding frame that holds a hammock or hanging chair without trees or posts. Most are steel and some fold flat. They let you hang a hammock on a patio, in a backyard, at a campsite or indoors.
Does a hammock stand come with a hammock?
Many of these stands are sold as stand only, so the hammock or chair is a separate purchase. Check the title and description on each product page to see what is included. Some listings include extras such as a carry bag, a cup holder or a tray.
How long should a hammock stand be?
A hammock stand should be a little longer than the hammock. Full-length stands in this collection run from about 9.5 ft to 12 ft (2.9 to 3.7 m). One adjusts to fit hammocks of 10 to 13 ft (3 to 4 m). Measure your hammock first.
How much weight can a hammock stand hold?
Weight capacity depends on the model. Listed capacities in this collection run from about 120 kg (264 lb) to 349 kg (770 lb). Always add the weight of everyone using the hammock and choose a stand rated comfortably above that total.
What is the best portable hammock stand?
The best portable hammock stand folds small, weighs little and has enough capacity for your hammock. Look for a foldable frame, a carry bag or wheels, and a stable base. Several portable options in this collection suit camping and picnics.
Can you use a hammock stand indoors?
