How much space is needed to hang a two-person hammock?

Many double hammocks need anchors about 3.5 to 4.5 metres apart. Check the listed hanging distance, or pick a model with its own stand.

Is a hammock with or without spreader bars better?

Spreader bars keep the bed open and flat but feel less cocooning. Gathered-end hammocks are more compact and easier to pack for trips.
