I have a mayan/mexican hammock (without a spreader bar). Can I hang this from a classic stand like this, for example?http://www.sears.com/shc/s/p_10153_12605_00637088000P?keyword=hammock+stand
or this

Thank you so much!

You should be able too. The first one says it holds hammocks up to 14 feet in length so check the length. That would the only potential problem I would see. If you hammock is too short you can just tie ropes on the end. If you are in Mexico or going to mexico they sell special ropes just for this purpose. You can get them at any hardware store.

If your hammock is too long then I don't think this stand would work.

The Mayan hammocks that are bright and handmade are known to be the most comfortable hammocks out of all that are made in the world today. They have subtle differences from other types of hammocks and also offer a low center of gravity making your relaxation experience that much more relaxing. The appearances of delicacy that they offer are obtained by the utilization of weaving thin fibers. Though they may look thin, these hammocks are quite sturdy and durable. Mayan hammocks come to us hand-woven from the Yucatán Peninsula and Quintana Roo in Mexico. The hammock capital of Mexico is in Merida. Hammock production in the area comprises 60% of the workforce. Skilled artisans who are mostly women weave these hammocks using techniques that have been handed down for generations. These artisans use vertical looms rather than horizontal looms. Sometimes the woven fabric can be stretched up to 2 miles while still remaining soft and smooth to the touch. Additional adornment such as fringes, beads and knots enhance the beauty of the hammocks while they are being shaped. Most of the income for this region comes from hammock weaving.

Mayan became a part of Mexico during the European invasion long ago. The Spanish Mexican culture took hold and the traditional art of weaving Mayan hammocks was picked up by the Mexicans. Mexican hammocks can be made anywhere in Mexico but the Mayan hammocks are made in the Yucatán region. Since they both come out of the same country they are all called Mexican hammocks.

A traditional diamond weave denotes a Yucatán or Mayan hammock over the rest. It is considered to be a fingerprint of the artisan. Machine hammocks do not have this characteristic; however, no two hammocks will be identical.

Interlocking parallel chords to produce very strong fabric is called Sprang weaving. This is where the width is fixed but the length can continue. The weaving of this is done between two trees because alumina is not used. Many enjoy this type of hammock better because it enhances the refreshing cooling feeling as the air is allowed to circulate and penetrate from below. These hammocks do not have spreader bars and are designed to take the shape of the body. Many rope hammocks cannot fit in places where a Sprang woven hammock can fit.

Nylon thread improves the strength and durability of any hammock. This type of hammock is recommended for use outdoors, while the pure cotton variety is suitable for indoor. Mayan hammocks are available in a great amount of sizes and are considered to be very safe to house sleeping babies. Hammocks that are framed allow for easier portability and can be set up just about anywhere. Hammock chairs will also provide a great amount of relaxation to people as well as the lying down version.

Backpackers, mountain climbers and campers who need light hammocks choose the nylon Mayan variety that are strong enough to hold a great amount of weight but can also be transported easily and efficiently.
