About Texsport Hammock Stands

Design and Price

• Texsport hammock stands and deluxe hammock stands are made from 1 1/4" and 2" tubular steel, respectively. The regular hammock stand, which retails for $67.50 (as of 2011), is constructed of two horizontal metal legs that attach at each end, while the deluxe hammock stand, with a price point of $114, has a more traditional, I-shaped floor design with single posts on each end. Both styles come with two S-hooks for easy hammock attachment on opposite ends.

Specifications

• With a 40- and 60-pound respective weight, Texsport hammock and deluxe hammock stands are designed to fit most hammock sizes, but the Texsport deluxe is larger and therefore will support longer hammocks up to 14 feet in length. The weight capacity for each hammock will be determined by the individual hammock's weight allowance.

Availability

• Texsport hammock stands are available from both online and brick-and-mortar sports distributors. If you want to make sure your hammock will fit the stand, consider purchasing a Texsport hammock, which is designed for the stand's specifications. If you want to save money and ship from one dealer, you might want to try the Texsport hammock combo package, which includes a regular or deluxe hammock stand plus a rope or fabric hammock at a discounted retail price.

Assembly

• Assembly of both the regular and deluxe Texsport hammock stand is easy and can be completed without the use of tools. Both models comes with two S-hooks and six metal connector poles that easily slide into place. To make assembly easier, have a friend or family member help you insert the rods into place. If another person is not available, assemble the stand near a wall or upright structure. Always make sure that your Texsport hammock's metal rods are secured into place and tightly fitted before attempting to use your hammock stand.
