If you're planning to assemble a garden hammocks between two trees you need to follow a few simple rules. Make sure that the trees are roughly 15 feet apart. If you go much less than this the hammock will scrape the floor. The easiest way of stringing your hammock to the trees is to use a couple of Smart Ropes which are available from most garden hammocks retailers. If you'd like a garden hammocks but don't happen to have two trees that are 15 feet apart, it's worth considering a hammock stand. You may even have the right trees but they aren't in a good location for your garden hammocks.
