Choose two sturdy anchor points
Make sure the anchor points are the right distance apart for your hammock
Check that the anchors can support your weight
Use tree straps, hammock straps, or appropriate hardware
Wrap the straps around the anchor points
Attach the hammock to the straps or hardware
Adjust the height so the hammock hangs with a slight sag
Keep the lowest point of the hammock low enough to sit in safely
Test the setup gently before fully using it
Recheck all connections before each use
