    20'X20' tree space

    I have a hazelnut orchard w/20x20 ft spaces.If you are thinking of a spacing pattern this works pretty good for my hammocks.

    Welcome aboard from Florida. Don't know anything about hazelnut trees but if they're anything like hickory nuts I don't know about hanging under them.

    Welcome and HWDY! Twenty feet is pretty far to hang between. You'll have to get your tree huggers VERY HIGH to get an angle that isn't too flat. You can push them up the tree trunks with a stick. Or, being an orchard, there may be a tree ladder around! Good luck!

    put up a minimal tarp with the stretchy extensions, it should act like a trampoline to bounce them away from you!

    Welcome aboard!

    Saw it with my own 2 eyes.

    Do be wary of a nice tarp strung beneath falling stuff.

    hahahha no worries of getting holes in those hammocks .

    As long as you keep the hanging to fair weather - leaving the tarps at home - and bring a hardhat , enjoy.
