How High?
If you are hanging a hammock with spreader bars, four or five feet off the ground is typical for hanging. Without spreader bars, a hammock can be hung from six to eight feet. Remember that you'll need to adjust for the amount of "dip" in your hammock bed. The hammock may look fine with no one in it, but once you climb in, you may brush the ground without the appropriate clearance height. When installing your hammock bed, or child hammock, have a friend nearby who can help you determine the proper height by climbing in once you have the ropes or cords fastened. You can save time on the set-up by having someone else "test-drive" the hammock for you while you adjust the height accordingly.
