After you have made your own hammock, the next major step is hanging the hammock. For those without trees or a hammock stand, a set of hammock posts is simple enough to install. You will need a bit of room in the yard to bury them, as they should be a minimum of twelve feet apart. Many sources recommend 15 feet as the optimal length. If you don't have that much space, 12 feet will be sufficient. It's a very good idea to clear the area between the posts of debris, rocks and tree branches. If you have a clumsy moment getting out of your hammock, it is much better to land on soft ground instead of rocks or other debris.
