This durable hammock stand is created to hold Brazilian-style hammocks that are 10-12.5 feet long. The stand is made from powder-coated steel and includes hammock hooks. There are no tools required for this hammock stand. All the hardware is hand-tightened so it can easily be assembled in just minutes. Plus, there are black plastic caps included to put on all ends to avoid injury. The U-shape of the stand helps hold the hammock in place.
