Hammocks offer a classic way to relax outdoors, and this collection focuses on the stands that support them. Freestanding hammock frames and hammock chair stands let you set up a hanging seat or bed anywhere in the garden, without needing two trees or wall fixings.
A sturdy metal frame carries the weight of the hammock and user, spreading it across a stable base that sits on a patio or lawn. Chair stands suit a single hanging seat, while full-length frames accommodate a traditional lie-flat hammock.
Because a stand is portable, you can move your relaxing spot to follow the shade or the sun, then pack it away when the season ends.
Garden storage has to do three things at once: keep your kit dry, stand up to British weather year after year, and actually look right next to your planting. Most cheap options get one of those — ours are designed around all three.
Use the filters to narrow by capacity, material, and feature. If you're not sure where to start, our 60-second storage finder will shortlist three options for your garden.
Freestanding hammock and hammock chair stands are typically rated to around one hundred and twenty to one hundred and fifty kilograms, enough for most adults to relax safely. The steel frames spread the load evenly. Always check the specific maximum for your model and avoid exceeding it, and set the stand on firm, level ground so it cannot rock or tip.
No, these are hammock and hammock chair stands, which means the frame provides all the support you need, so no trees, posts or wall fixings are required. This lets you place a hammock anywhere with enough flat space, including patios, decking, lawns or even indoors. It also means you can reposition it easily to follow the shade or sun.
Most stands assemble in minutes using slot-together or bolt-together steel sections, needing little or no tooling beyond what is supplied. The parts are clearly designed to fit one way, and once built the frame can be moved as a unit or taken apart again for storage. Following the instructions and tightening all fixings ensures the stand stays rigid and safe in use.
Yes, the freestanding design works well on a patio, lawn or balcony in summer and moves indoors to a lounge or conservatory just as easily. For outdoor use, wiping the frame dry after rain and storing it under cover in winter prevents rust. Indoors, simply make sure there is enough clearance for the hammock or chair to swing freely.
A full hammock stand is long and low, supporting a lie-flat hammock stretched between two ends for reclining. A hammock chair stand is tall with a single overhead arm, from which a seated swing chair hangs. Choose the flat stand for napping and sunbathing, or the chair stand for an upright, space-saving swing seat that suits smaller patios and corners.
