Minimum Hanging Dimensions

Barbados or Paradiso Hammock: You will need a minimum of 11.5 feet between anchor points. 

Traveller or Moskito Hammock: You will need a minimum of 10 feet between anchor points.

Mauritius Hammock: You will need a minimum of 10 feet between anchor points.

Aruba Hammock: You will need a minimum of 9.5 feet between anchor points.

*A Note Regarding Height*

The height of the clew eye off the ground or floor shoud be approximatley 5 feet at each end. Keep in mind the greater the length of the ropes or chains from the clew eye to the hanging point, the higher that hanging point will need to be. The idea is that the  hammock should always hanging in a "U" and lie diagonally in the Brazilian Style.
