8 CLEVER IDEAS FOR A HAMMOCK IN YOUR GARDEN

Enjoying a sunny spring day in your hammock in the garden. Gently rocking in your hammock in your garden. Lazing around in the garden, enjoying all the peace and quiet. Do you have a hammock but no hammock stand? No problem. On this page, you will find eight clever ideas to fix your hammock in your garden. Or your balcony of course! If you do choose the beautiful hammock stand, we will explain this too!

1) HANGING HAMMOCK FROM TREES

Hang your hammock in the garden between those two beautiful big oak trees. An extra benefit of this, you can also lounge in the shade. Choose enough sturdy trees to attach your hammock in the garden. Fix the hammock approximately at eye level (1.80 meters). Pay attention to the distance between the trees and the length of the hammock. If you have any questions about this, feel free to contact us. We are happy to help. 

2) HANG HAMMOCK FROM PERGOLA

Do you choose to hang your hammock in the garden from the canopy or pergola? Excellent choice for your hammock in the garden!

You attach the hammock between the two posts or to the underside of the beams. With the latter option, you are a bit more flexible to hang your hammock in the garden.

Use the Hammock Fixing Kit ‘Easy’ to hang and secure your hammock in the garden. With just a rope or an eye screw. The posts of your pergola or canopy need strength to support the hammock. Choose to lie safely in your garden hammock.

3) HANGING HAMMOCK FROM WALLS

No trees or pergola to hang your hammock from in your yard? Then attach your hammock to the existing walls of your house or shed. Two walls at a 60-120-degree angle are sufficient. Choose a distance of the full length of your hammock (300, 350, or 400 cm) and attach eye screws from the hammock fixing kit “Makkie” at eye level. This gives you the flexibility to quickly remove the hammock from the garden in case of rain or a party. A wall and a fence or shed are of course also fine to attach your hammock in the garden. Again, pay attention to the strength of the walls.

4) HANGING HAMMOCK FROM POLES

Don’t want a hammock stand in the garden, but prefer to make your hammock in your garden with two poles? You can!

As with the pergola or canopy, you can also attach your hammock to two poles that you put in the ground yourself. Make sure you have sturdy poles that you put at least 1/3 in the ground. If necessary, use some cement for extra strength. The poles should be at least two feet, preferably hardwood, which you dig in. Put the poles at an angle into the air, with the top facing outward, creating a nice v-shape, which the hammock can hang between in the garden. It looks beautiful.

You attach the hammock with a screw in the top of the posts. And so you enjoy your own garden stand. For example, use the hammock fixing kit “Makkie” to attach the garden hammock to the poles in no time. Just relax!

5) HANG HAMMOCK FROM THE SWING

Give new life to the swing poles in your garden. Perfect for your “hammock in the garden” mission. Use the poles of the swing to attach your The Relax Company hammock. If necessary, use the wall of your home or fence to attach the other side of your hammock to your garden. Using carabiners from the attachment kit “Makkie” is convenient because it gives you the flexibility to quickly remove your hammock from the garden in case of bad weather or a party.

6) HAMMOCK HANGING BALCONY

Laze on your balcony. We say; do it! It is the ideal place to hang your hammock. Measure the distance between the walls or posts of your balcony. Choose your perfect length hammock. If you need help with this, please contact us. We are happy to help. A nice alternative is to hang your hammock under your balcony in the garden. This way you can always relax dry in your hammock in the garden. The great enjoyment can begin.

7) HAMMOCK IN THE SUN OR SHADE?

Do you choose a spot in the sun or do you choose a spot in the shade for your project “hammock for the garden”? That depends, of course, on the temperature outside. Spring and fall lend themselves more to the sun, of course. In high summer, a shady spot might be better. With a hammockstand in the garden, you are flexible. For this, choose the Bow from The Relax Company.

8) HAMMOCK WITH A STAND

Do you prefer to lie in the sun one day and in the shade the next? Don’t have sturdy poles or trees in the garden? Or do you like a hammock with a stand better? Then choose a hammock with a stand in your garden. A hammock with a stand can easily be moved. This makes you extra flexible. For example, if you have visitors in the garden, you prefer the sun or shade, or it starts to rain! Move your hammock with a stand easily. Choose for example our beautiful and popular wooden hammockstand Bow or choose the steel hammock frame Nautico. Enjoy your hammock with a stand in the garden!
