The Tri-Beam Steel Hammock Stand by Hatteras is simply the best stand available. Made from heavy 12 gauge steel, this stand features the 360-degree Right Connection™ superior welding process. The Right Connection has been rigorously researched and has been found to be the strongest available. The installed spring pins prevent unintentional disassembly of the stand yet provide for set up or storage in 30 seconds with no tools. The Tri-Beam stand comes complete with s-hooks to hang your hammock (the chains will come with the hammock itself). The stand is powder coated following a proprietary technique called Cape Shield, which offers more durability and uniformity in the paint application. The Cape Shield Powder Coating process consist in deep cleaning the steel, electro-statically applying a coat of powder paint and then curing it at high temperature for premium adhesion and durability. With a weight capacity of 600 lbs, these stands can hold any hammocks of 13 ft in length.
