How much space do I need for my backyard hammock?

Generally, the amount of space required to hang your outdoor hammock is about two feet greater than the total length of your hammock (when measured from end loop to end loop). For example, if your hammock is 13 feet long, then you should place it in a location that has at least 15 feet of open space for hanging. Your hammock should also be hung at a 30-degree angle.
