INSTALLATION

Want to buy a hammock, but do not know how much space required in your garden or in your room? Maybe you can follow a few simple rules:

The distance (between trees, between wall and wall or between the wall and tree) should measure approximately the 80% of the total length dell'amaca. All the hammocks on sale in our site www.amacando.it needs a distance of 3.40 meters, while for distances.
For distances less than 3.40 m, there is a trick to try: hang diagonally in order to recover space

The height of the handling point must be at least equal to 40% of the length of 'hammock, usually at least 1.50 meters above the ground.

Height from ground: it is advisable to set the style Mexican hammock at a height above ground of between 30 and 50cm, making sure, once lying down inside, it doesn't have to touch the ground. The Mexican hammock is very safetly, because it can arrive until to 20 cm from the ground and the banks rose and wrap body giving it the necessary stability.

HEIGHT of FASTENING: 1.50 minimum

DISTANCE mounting point: at least 3.30 - 3.50 cm depending on the length

FLOOR HEIGHT: 30 cm minimum

Keep in mind that the use can extend your hammock until 15% of its length. It is quite impossible that your hammock touches the ground the first time. Should this happen, make shorter the strings of attachment. Make sure it's in the hammock is not too tight and that the lowest point of the same must be between 20 and 40 centimeters above the ground.

TO AVOID!

The causes of rupture:
some types of shoes that are used commonly have hooks or other details in iron which can be caught at the wire dell'amaca when you relax inside, causing the rupture. Better climb barefoot, even to a greater relaxation

If you break a string .... don't worry, the hammock also supports many broken wires and remains composed for a long time, balanced with the wires that remain.
When you see a wire dangle it is better to act soon, you should resume at the other end that you will meet broken. Maybe it needs to add another wire to connect the two extremes. While this will create a small defect in the plot dell'amaca, resistance is ensured and all the other wires are riaccomoderanno as a result.
