Does a hammock chair need a stand?

It hangs from a single point, so it needs either a solid ceiling joist or beam, or a freestanding stand made for hammock chairs.

Can a hammock chair stay outside all year?

Most cotton and macrame chairs last longer when brought inside or covered during rain and winter. Look for weather-resistant fabric if it will live outdoors.
