Go Anywhere Hammock (GAH) Stands Set-up Instructions

1. Twist the first tie down anchor into the ground using the provided installation tool.

The GAH stands are designed to hold up to 400 lbs, however, the actual weight limit will be determined by

how well the ground anchors are set. The earth anchors that come with the GAH stands are 30 inches long.

Ground conditions can vary greatly from hard to soft soil or sand conditions. The ensure a strong hold the

ideal, installation depth of the anchor is where the eye is at ground level as shown in the picture above,

however, there will be times when this can’t be achieved. To accommodate scenarios where the anchor’s eye

can’t be twisted all the way to ground level a beam clamp is also provided to create a grasping point for the

GAH carabiner clip as shown in the photo below.

Note: Wait to install the second anchor till step 4 but the tie down anchors will end up approximately 12 ft to

13 ft apart depending on the hammock used.

Warning! Make sure anchors are fully installed. Failure to properly install the anchors will prohibit the GAH

stand from supporting the hammock and person(s) weight. A simple test is to pull up on the anchor with

moderate force after installed and ensure it remains secure in the ground. If the anchor pulls out of the

ground with relative ease it is not installed deep enough or the ground is too soft.

Caution! Ensure desired install locations of anchors are clear of utility lines. Some water utility lines can be

buried less than 18 inches. Sprinkler and cable lines can sometimes be buried only a few inches deep in the

ground.

2. Using the carabiner, clip the center support of one GAH stand into the installed anchor and spread each

side support pole out approximately a foot outside the center support to form a pyramid pattern.

3. Locate where to start the second tie down anchor by clipping one end of the hammock into the installed

GAH stand shackle and then clipping the other end of the hammock into the second GAH stand shackle.

4. Walk the second, unsecured GAH stand with attached hammock till the hammock becomes slightly taut.

With the hammock slightly taut, form the second GAH stand into a pyramid pattern and hold the center

support’s carabiner clip near the ground to approximately locate where the second tie down anchor should be

installed.

4. Once the starting point for the second tie down anchor is determined, gently lay down the second GAH

stand with attached hammock and twist the second tie down anchor into the ground using the provided

installation tool as shown in step 1.

5. Form the second GAH stand, with attached hammock, back into a pyramid pattern and use the carabiner to

clip the center support into the eye of the second, installed anchor.

6. Climb in and relax!

Note: The hammock should be slightly taut initially. The GAH stands will settle into the ground upon first use

because of the user’s weight and will result in a more ideal sag to the hammock as shown.
