Why must I hang my hammock twelve feet apart?

Hanging Hammocks-The Required Space

Once you have made your own hammock and you start looking for a good place for hanging hammocks, you might wonder why you need so much space. Why not hang the hammock 10 feet apart instead of 12 feet apart? The answer here lies in the angle. The shorter your hanging distance, the steeper the angle of hang. If your body hangs in a V-shape instead of a more horizontal position, you won't be comfortable for long. Also, the steeper the angle, the greater potential for your hammock to drag on the ground thanks to that V-shape.
