Need a backyard Hammock for a stand

[non]

I just got a steel hammock stand and I am looking for a hammock, just for backyard hanging(Florida). Any brand recommendations?

Thanks for any and all help.

Need to know the manufacturer of stand, is it adjustable for span, can you adjust the height of the risers where the hammock attaches, will this be outside all the time, will you be the only one in the hammock or will others join you?

Are the ENOS good?

Very few of the steel stands out there have dimensions suitable for hammocks such as the ENO. They are too long/low, and require modification. It's heresy to suggest this, but if I had one of those stands, and was determined to use it, I'd get the hammock it was designed for (most likely a Hatteras Hammock or one of it's spreader bar clones) and call it good.

ENO's are great for lounging and camping and I have two in the stable of hammocks.........but like OG said they are more than likely to big for the stand and will not lay correctly. He is a wise oldgringo!!!!!!!

The attachment points are 46 inches high and its about 175 inches wide. I'd say the angle is appx. 40 degrees.

I'm all ears (eyes actually) Non.

Here is an example of my answers and info we need to give advice;
I have a Byer Vario (we will know or can find the specs).
It is used outside, covered, and solo (it will not hold my hog body plus anyone else).

Now my hammocks that have been proven to work for me on the Byer Vario YMMV;

Hope that helps some.

I like that you bought a stand before the hammock.
