Terms of Use
Last updated 22 September 2026. The important part is the safety section — hanging a person off the ground carries real risk and this site is guidance, not engineering advice.
Agreement
By using knotandnap.com you agree to these terms. Knot & Nap is published by Iron Mako Media. If you do not agree with these terms, please do not use the site.
Content accuracy
We work hard to be accurate and we publish exactly how we source our information. Specifications are quoted from manufacturers or named publications and are correct to the best of our knowledge at the time of writing.
Manufacturers change products, revise specifications and discontinue models without notice. Always confirm current specifications with the manufacturer or retailer before purchasing, particularly anything safety-relevant such as a weight capacity.
If you find an error, please tell us — our corrections commitment is in the editorial policy.
Safety
Hammocks suspend a person above the ground. Anchors can fail, hardware can corrode, trees can drop branches, and exceeding a published weight capacity can cause injury.
The guidance on this site is general information, not an engineering assessment of your specific trees, walls, ceiling joists, posts or ground conditions. You are responsible for verifying that your installation is safe. If you are not certain that a structure will hold the load, do not use it — use a purpose-built stand with a published capacity instead.
Always follow the manufacturer's instructions for your specific hammock, stand and hardware. Where our guidance and a manufacturer's instructions differ, follow the manufacturer.
Not professional advice
Nothing on this site is medical, structural-engineering or legal advice. Questions about whether hammock use is appropriate for a medical condition should go to a clinician. Questions about whether a structure can carry a load should go to a qualified professional.
