Wow, am impressed that you managed to hang a 12 foot hammock from our Handy Hammock stand. At 230lbs you're well inside the upper limit of 275lbs so that's probably why you got away with it....

Hi BillyBob,
Shipping is £25 ($42) for US customers. The £9 rate is domestic UK only.
Also, general info to all, I've had a few emails with similar questions:
What's the max hammock length...
@4shot, generally most people seem to use a couple of long poles, although I'm not sure what the most popular are. Shipping for US is £25
@hk2001, I'm afraid I dont know what the custom charges...
Thanks Cataraftgirl. Your order is on its way. Don't forget that if you need to hang with a friend, your double strut kit will also let you do 2 "one-tree hangs".

Hi all,
In case you've not heard of Handy Hammock... it's a folding, ultralight hammock stand... you can even use it at the beach (with our beach pegs)....
Hi round table knights,
The tarp set-up is coming along nicely and should be ready for next season. Need to do some field trials with it over the winter. It'll be available as a fully enclosed tent...
Oops, just re-read the thread... Oh well, this looks like a great hammock none-the-less. I will post a review in due course.
@BackPackHiker,
I'm in contact with a brand new manufacturer (Mavrick Gear - Australia) that could be interested in featuring his bridge end hammock. Hit me up on PM for details.
Here's a sneak...
Hi DemostiX
If you are in rocky ground your best bet it to locate one of the ground-anchor plates first then find a spot for its partner plate. Bringing the anchors closer together slightly does...
Hi C&PDad
Message me your address an I'll get a replacement guy-line out to you. Sorry to hear that you had this problem. Is there a rough surface on the metal ring? Some of the rings used have a...
We now have 600mm beach pegs* back in stock for anyone that wants to take their Handy Hammock to the beach.

Sounds like a job for Handy Hammock. The beach pegs will be back in stock on Monday/Tuesday :)
It's great to see some pictures of Handy Hammocks in action. Looking forward to seeing them in some unusual places. Just had a skin throgh the thread and thought I had better answer some questions:

BajaHanga,

Taylor,
Not sure I follow you. The video I linked to and the pdf instructions on our site show the same set-up for the ground anchors.
Hopefully this image clarifies...

@ Brute1100
I think you might have set up the ground anchors incorrectly. Please check this video clip - thanks!

Great pics of a one-tree hang. The tarp set-up looks good too. Those trekking poles are huge!
@thenate1
So now you have one in each of the 4 available colors! Many thanks for your...
Hi everyone,
I was actually a little late in getting the order dispatch confirmations out. We dispatched most people's orders within a day or two of receiving them so hopefully they'll start...
Hi All,
We are shipping orders within a couple of days of them coming in, we are not waiting until May 10th to start shipping. I will send out dispatch confirmations via email shortly. Many thanks...
D-P, you need to head over to www.handyhammock.co.uk/page/hf-group-buy.
The Single Strut kit's not on the options for a HF discount though I'm afraid. It's yellow/red Handy Hammocks or the...
Happy Hammock - I like it :)
There will be a Group Buy soon... watch the forum over the next couple of days. Just sorting out details.
Hi Dave,
The indoor set up does mean a few bolts in the floor though so I think most people would just use wall-bolts and a hammock as a simpler set-up?
We needed an indoor set-up that included...
Hi all - I'm sure we can arrange a group buy very soon. I've been contacted by a forum member keen to organise it.
Just thought I'd share the attached pic with you... In response to forum...

We have no plans to make a larger version of the struts in 2013. It's an idea that we may look at in 2014 if there's a market for it but for now it would be prohibitively expensive for us...
LyttleBryan,
Those pictures are great, I'm surprised by the amount of snow. I thought it was all retreating.
It's a trip i'd like to make one day too. My friend, Squash Falconer has just got back...
Due to popular demand we've added single struts to our shop.

George,
Many thanks for your support! We hope you enjoy ours :) (Please exuse the pun)
Jeff,
Many thanks for the review. It appears that your initial pitch of the Handy Hammock was a bit taught so maybe we need to clarify our instructions. The unloaded hammock should sag a little...
Hi!
Derek announced the winner as "Terran" so I hope he(or she?) enjoys their Handy Hammock!
For those of you that weren't lucky this time, we've set up a £30 ($48) discount till 31st January....
Couple of things I wanted to point out in case you'd missed them elsewhere in the forum.
Derek (The Ultimate Hang)has done a pretty thorough review of our hammock support system which included...
Good luck guys. Was the Rafflecopter system simple enough to use?
Hi Skylar,
I just need to disclose I'm the owner of handy Hammock Limited :)
You can also use a Handy Hammock system if you want something you can rely on that will take up to 275 of hanger!...
Hi Humpack (Alan),
This discount is available to anyone regardless what country we ship to so yes you can use it from the UK. :)
We don't plan to sell just pairs of struts. Our lightweight...
Hi All,
First off, I want to say a big thank-you to dejoha for his recent review of Handy Hammock. Some good points raised that we will likely incorporate into future development.
Although...
@fish and bear bag hanger - thanks for the comments. Food for thought for product extensions/development next year.
Just had a nice chat with Derek Hansen (Author of The Ultimate Hang). Look out for his review shortly :)
OH... and we'll do a little promotion just for Hammock Forum members too - we'll be able to...
Here's one I like. Boldly going where no hammock has gone before :)

Might be a bit tight but I think it could be possible to adapt it to accomodate a 10' hammock. Our hammock is made using fabric measuring 7 feet 10.5 inches long , with a further 8-9 inches of cord...

We've actually not tested it with other hammocks, it was designed purely as a stand-alone system. Looking forward to Derek's review and for his opinion on using it with other hammocks.

Hi there,
