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 should always lie diagonally in the Brazilian style. The Moskito Kakoon While the Moskito Kakoon hangs like most any other hammock we offer, there is one key element that you must pay attention to. The supporting guy line for the netting, like the hanging points for the hammock, should be hung roughly 10 feet apart. But unlike the hammock itself, the guy line should not be hung too tightly. If the guy line is hung too tightly, it will stress the net when you climb in -- and that stress can potentially lead to the net tearing. Always make sure the guy line is secure; however, make sure that there is enough slack in it to provide some flexibility for the net when the hammock is in use.
