The treeless backyard
The core use case: hammock ownership without hammock-compatible trees, planted wherever the shade is.
Catalogue/Patio & Outdoor/Data sheet
A heavy-duty powder-coated steel span with twelve height holes and its own carrying case — bring the hammock, it brings everything else.
Field notes
A hammock is only as useful as its two anchor points, and most yards do not grow trees exactly thirteen feet apart. The 9-foot stand solves the geometry problem permanently: a heavy-duty steel span that plants a hammock anywhere flat — lawn, deck, poolside concrete, or the corner of a bedroom. Note the deliberate spec: this is a stand only. FDW assumes you already own the hammock or hanging chair you love, and sells the infrastructure separately.
The adjustment system is the working feature. Each end of the stand carries six hook holes spaced four inches apart, giving twelve mounting positions to tune the height and sag for any hammock length and any preference from taut-and-flat to deep-cradle. The tube steel wears a powder coat against rust, plastic caps soften every tube end, and the whole stand breaks down into its included carrying case — which is how it earns the “portable” in its name and its 4.6-star rating.
The dossier
Bundled hammock-and-stand kits pair a decent stand with a disposable hammock, or vice versa. Selling the stand alone lets it serve whatever you hang: a rope hammock, a Brazilian fabric one, a camping hammock on weekends off from the trail, or a hanging chair. The six-holes-per-end system is what makes that universality real — different hammocks need different effective lengths, and the stand adjusts to all of them.
Hammock comfort is a sag equation: too taut and it cocoons your shoulders, too loose and your back folds. With hook positions every four inches at both ends, you tune the geometry in small steps until the lie is right — and re-tune it in seconds when you swap a lounging hammock for a hanging chair, which wants a much higher single point.
The stand assembles and disassembles without a fight, and — unusually in this class — ships with its own carrying case. That turns it from lawn furniture into equipment: it rides to the campsite, the beach lot or the lake cabin, and stores flat in the garage all winter instead of rusting in the yard.
The honest ledger
Deployment
The core use case: hammock ownership without hammock-compatible trees, planted wherever the shade is.
On concrete or boards where anchoring was never an option, the stand is the only way a hammock happens at all.
Nine feet of floor in a bedroom or sunroom turns a hanging chair into permanent furniture — no ceiling hooks, no landlord conversations.
Owner questions
No — this is deliberately a stand-only product. Your existing hammock or hanging chair hooks onto it; the twelve adjustment holes accommodate most common sizes.
Each end has six hook holes spaced four inches apart. Move the hooks up or down to set the hanging height and sag for your specific hammock and preference.
Yes — it disassembles as easily as it assembles and packs into the included carrying case for storage or travel.
