Please read the following instructions carefully and use the product accordingly. Please keep this manual and hand it over when you transfer the product. This summary may not include every detail of all variations and considered steps. Please contact us when further information and help are needed.

Installation Steps

In order to assemble the most comfortable hammock, SONGMICS recommends you to assemble this item according to the following steps:

1. Step 1: Measure Suspension Distance

   Measure the available suspension distance A (distance between tree and tree, wall and wall, wall and tree).

2. Step 2: Adjust Rope Length

   Extend the hammock with ropes to make sure that the total length of the hammock (including the length of hammock and ropes) is 1.2 times longer than the available suspension distance A.

3. Step 3: Fix Height

   Fix the hammock at a height which is 25% of the length of the available suspension distance A.

4. Step 4: Hang Level

   The head end (C) and foot end (D) should be hung at the same level. The height can be adjusted by extending the length of ropes. The ropes should stretch smoothly without tangle or knots.

5. Step 5: Account for Stretch

   Please note that the hammock may extend 15% after use. If it touches the ground after using for several times, please shorten the length of ropes. Meanwhile, please do not stretch the hammock too tight; the distance between the lowest point of the hammock (under load) and the ground should be between 20-40 cm.

Instructions for Use

In order to use this item comfortably, SONGMICS recommends you to use this item according to the following steps:

1. Spread the cloth wide with 2 hands, take a small step back and sit in the middle.
2. Then put your feet on it. Finally relax your head and lie down.

Lying diagonally in the hammock is the most comfortable posture.
