5. Put the stand’s feet near their 

final place, spreading the baseline 
by about your body length, laying 
the apexes together in a V shape. 
If on a slope, assure that the feet 
are level.  

 

A good place provides for a foot-
end anchor a body length or more 
away in the direction the V points. 
See 

Anchoring

 on page 6 for 

detailed notes. 

6. Attach the 

black end

 of a guyline 

to the bottom (foot end) apex, 
passing the pole connector line 
through one of the upper daisy-
chain loops to leave a tail of loops 
inside the stand. These will be your hammock suspension. See step 10 for a peek at 
the end result.  

7. Secure the orange end loop of the guyline to the anchor. 

8. Lift the top (head end) apex to erect the stand. Unwrap any lines from around poles 

so they run cleanly across the corners. Set the stand ridgeline to maximum length.
