Universal hammock stand “Maya”

The “Maya” universal hammock stand: Practical and elegant universal

Constructed from metal, this universal stand is specially designed to accommodate most of our Latin American hammocks (except those with bars). Its installation is a breeze, simply requiring hanging the hammock using the two chains and two S-hooks provided. We tested a lot of metal hammock stands before choosing this model. We selected this support because it is the most stable of all metal supports on the market.

The challenge of traditional Latin American hammocks

Finding the right support for our large Latin American hammocks was a real headache. These hammocks, true artisanal jewels, do not hang easily on classic wooden or metal supports. It took us more than a year to find the ideal supports that guarantee quality and affordable prices.

Maintaining a Metal Hammock Stand

To properly maintain your support so that it can last over time, we emphasize the importance of regular inspection of screws and bolts, winter storage and anti-rust paint. We also emphasize the need to protect the bracket hardware to prevent rust, with home remedies such as vinegar or lemon juice. The paint application process is explained in detail in our article: How to Maintain a Metal Hammock Stand with emphasis on surface preparation.

How to protect your hammock stand in winter

In preparation for winter, it is essential to take care of your hammock stand. For a metal support, check for corrosion, touch up with anti-rust paint, and store it away from moisture. If sheltered storage is not possible, use a tight-fitting waterproof cover. These precautions will extend the life of your media. To find out more: What to do with your hammock stand in winter?

Cultural anecdote: hammock stands in Latin America

In most homes in Latin America, hammocks are hung from trees, house walls, and even poles. Homes often have porches, pergolas, and terraces with stilts, making it easier to hang hammocks. In contrast, the “Maya” hammock stand is part of a more European tradition, offering a practical alternative where customs differ.
