You’re looking for discounted hammock stands because you want to be economical and stretch that hard-earned dollar, I’ll bet. In these high-priced times, every little bit helps. The stand is usually the most expensive piece, with good reason: you want quality construction that will support you while you are at your most vulnerable state, lying down suspended in mid-air. A fall would be quite painful. There’s bargains, quality bargains, out there if you shop carefully. And the closer we get to the end of summer (Noooooooooooooo!) the more numerous the summer clearance sales for hammocks and hammock stands will become. Let’s scope out some of these discounted hammock stands.
How To Shop For Discounted Hammock Stands
Usually, you will find that metal hammock stands are the most heavily discounted and most often sold at lower costs. When choosing a metal hammock stand, keep in mind that the higher the gauge of steel, the lower the construction quality. A stand made of 12 gauge steel is the sturdiest, strongest stand available and is safer than a 16 gauge stand, which will not hold much weight and worse, may bend or break with prolonged use. You also want to look for powdercoated stands, as this will help protect the metal in the outdoor elements. Hammocks.com and EveryHammock.com both feature great quality discounted hammock stands.
The adjustable hammock stand pictured at left is designed for nearly all sizes of non-spreader bar hammock styles such as the Brazilian, Nicaraguan and Mayan hammocks; however, it is said to accomodate spreader bar hammocks as well. It is made of powdercoated heavy-gauge steel and features a unique hanging system that requires no extra hardware such as chain or hooks. Available from Hammocks.com, it’s on sale for under US$110 as of this writing. That’s a great discount.
This 15-foot hammock stand for spreader bar hammocks pictured at right is made of 12-gauge powdercoated steel and is available in a wide range of colors. The stand will accomodate hammocks between 12 and 15 feet in length. Tough and durable, it should support two average sized people securely. Hanging hardware is needed for this discounted hammock stand and it is not included in the price; it must be purchased at checkout. Still, at well under US$150 (including the add-on hardware) at this writing, that’s a decent price for a hammock stand.
If you have limited space, the Bliss Steel Hammock stand (pictured at left) may be just for you. This stand accomodates hammocks that are less than nine feet in length - great for those who are looking for a smaller indoor hammock stand. This stand features a baked enamel finish which will also protect it outdoors. The Bliss stand is available from EveryHammock.com and modestly priced at under US$100 as of this writing. EveryHammock.com offers shipping to Canada as well as the US.
This should give you an idea of the variety of hammock stands for sale that are available at every price point. Shop wisely and well for the best value. The internet makes it easy to find discounted hammock stands that fit your needs and budget.

Hammocks With Mosquito Net Are A Great Idea
July 25th, 2008    Subscribe To Our FeedIf like me you live in an area where mosquitos, gnats and no-see-ums are legion, you’ll appreciate a hammock with a mosquito net. 
Nothing ruins a great afternoon like these pests. I buy bottles of Off! mosquito repellant like crazy ’cause I’m allergic to the stings; the bites blow up like balloons on my arms and legs, and HURT, not just itch. There are mosquito nets that you can buy separately as an add-on to your existing hammock; but they’re not too well made, may not enclose your hammock fully (meaning bugs will still get in) and look kinda, well, cheap. Your best bet is to buy a camping hammock that has the mosquito net built into it. That way you know that the whole thing fits together well and that there are no gaps where a stray pest can get in.
I like this model - Hammock Bliss’ No See ‘Um No More - because it features very fine mosquito netting with 2100 holes per square inch - meaning that nothing, not even the tinest sandfly, will invite itself in. The netting is attached the full length of the hammock. Double pull zippers inside and out make it easy to get in and out. As a camping hammock, it’s quick-drying for outdoor use and lightweight. And at well under $100 at this writing, the price is right. Available at Amazon.com. If you need tips for hanging your hammock outside, check out this post. Don’t let the ’skeeters beat you out of a relaxing afternoon in the hammock. Hammocks with a mosquito net will help you take back your yard.
