Flat-pack hammock stands assembled properly so they don't collapse when you're relaxing. We decode the instructions, check all the parts are there, put it together securely, and make sure it's stable before you use it.
Flat-pack furniture instructions are often terrible. Hammock stands need to be assembled correctly or they're unsafe. We've built dozens of them and know which bits actually matter and which fixings need extra attention.

What to Expect
1. Preparation & Parts Check We unbox the stand, lay out all components, check against the parts list, and identify any missing or damaged pieces before we start. Better to find out now than halfway through.
2. Professional Assembly We follow the instructions (but with actual common sense), assemble the frame in the correct order, use the right fixings in the right places, and ensure all connections are secure and tight.
3. Testing & Handover We test the stand's stability, show you any adjustment points or folding mechanisms, and pack away the box and packaging. You'll get tips on positioning and maintenance.
🔧 DIY Tips
Want to assemble it yourself? Here's what to watch for:
- Check parts first: Count everything against the list before you start - nothing worse than getting halfway through and finding a missing bolt
- Don't force anything: If parts aren't going together, you're either using the wrong piece or have something backwards
- Hand-tighten then tool-tighten: Get bolts started by hand, then tighten with tools - cross-threading is a pain to fix
- Follow the order: Flat-pack instructions have a sequence for a reason - skipping steps makes it harder
- Tighten everything: Loose fixings on a hammock stand mean wobbly relaxation and potential collapse
If you'd rather spend an hour in the hammock instead of swearing at the instructions, that's what we're here for.
Rather leave it to a pro? No problem - that's what I'm here for. Give me a call.
Good to Know
Space needed: Allow a 10ft x 10ft clear area for assembly. Some stands are bigger than expected when built.
Surface matters: Grass, decking, or paving all work fine. Stands need reasonable level ground - we'll let you know if your chosen spot is too uneven.
Weight capacity: Most stands handle 120-150kg. We'll check the manufacturer's rating and ensure assembly is secure for safe use.
Portability: Some stands fold for storage - we'll show you how the mechanism works if yours does.
Hammock compatibility: Not all hammocks fit all stands. Check your hammock length matches the stand's hook spacing before buying.
Maintenance: Outdoor stands need checking annually - retighten bolts, check for rust on metal frames, and treat timber if needed.
