G'day folks, it's Ben from Snowy's here today
with the OZtrail Anywhere Hammock double with steel frame.
This is a hammock in a frame all-in-one
that you can set up in your back yard
and kick back with a drink or a book
or just to have a sleep in the sun.
I'm gonna show you how to set it up today
when you buy it.
Now it comes in a box like this,
it measures about 115cm in length
and around about 20cm in height and width
so that's how much space you need to allow for
in your car or your vehicle
if you were to transport it,
and it weighs a bit over ten kilos.
Now inside the box, you get the hammock here
inside its own little carry bag,
there's loops at the end of this hammock
so you can attach it to the frame,
and you get five poles here
so this is the pole that runs along the base,
these are the two upright poles
(poles clanking)
to which the hammock will attach to
and then these are the legs that give it stability
and you also get this little bag of accessories
(metal clinking)
that has some instructions inside,
has four feet that go on each of the cross poles
where it contacts with the ground,
and you get a couple of these hooks
which attach into each of the uprights
to actually secure the hammock.
So the first thing we wanna do
is we're gonna put this aside
and we'll lay the bits of the frame out
in the configuration that they need to be together.
So before I go any further,
I've got the poles laid out in the right configuration here,
before I put it all together though,
I'm gonna grab the feet and put them
on the ends of this section here
which has got this little bracket in the middle.
Put one of these on each end,
and that's gonna give these a good grippy support
with the ground so I do that on both ends
of each of these sections.
From there, the whole frame goes together
with these push buttons here
so this bottom section here
has got a locating hole here
where the locating pin goes through to.
We put everything together like this,
that slides in,
(metal clicks)
locks into place there,
same thing with this pole here,
that's gonna lock in over the top here
with that locating pin
and we do the same with the same two spots
at the other end of the hammock.
So we've got the frame all together,
there's no nuts or bolts or anything there,
everything just slots together.
The only bolts we have to worry about
are these guys here with the hooks
now this is what is gonna secure
the actual
the hammock to the frame.
The hammock's gonna run
over through this wire piece here,
down the back and hook on to this hook here.
So we don't wanna put it this way,
it needs to go this way
because the hammock's gonna attach
down this way to the hook.
Now we've got multiple points
we can actually put these hooks into down here,
there's one, two, three, four, five, six, seven,
there's eight spots running up here
that we can put this through.
So to use the hammock that comes with this stretcher,
with this frame,
we should only need this on about the second hole down,
but if you're using a different hammock with the frame,
it might have a particularly long strands at the ends,
you can attach this right down the bottom
so there's plenty of room for the strings
to go over the top, down and attach to the hook
while keeping it taut,
or if it is particularly short
then obviously you can put this up a bit higher.
But what I'm gonna do is put it through the second one
and that should be about where we need it
for the hammock that came with this hammock and frame.
So we're just gonna slide that through,
this rounded section here is actually attached to the hook,
we're gonna slide that through,
grab the other rounded washer on the other side there,
just do the wing nut up and we're gonna do the same thing
on the other end.
I'm not gonna do it up really tight just yet
because we'll test how the hammock fits
before I tighten it up.
Now we're up to putting the hammock on the frame
so I'm gonna take this out of the bag.
When you buy it
these are actually packed separately in the box,
they're wrapped up with the frame to stop it rattling around
but this is the section that is the hammock
that we'll be lying in,
and they've got these big heavy duty loops at each end here
and these are what attach to our hook
so we put these strands through the y-piece here,
bring it down, around and over the hook,
we do the same at the other end,
and hopefully our hammock
is just nicely tightened to make it comfortable to lie in.
Okay now that's all set up,
we can see that's just got a bit of a bow there,
I could tighten that up another notch
if I wanted to make this tighter
but it's really all personal preference,
so set it up, tighten it up, hook it on,
make sure it's comfortable for you,
try a few different settings,
that feels pretty good to me,
my back's nice and supported,
I'm not dragging on the ground,
that's the main thing,
and I can kick back and relax
in this one pretty comfortably.
That's how you set up
the OZtrail Anywhere Hammock double with frame.
A great way to relax in your back yard,
on your patio or if you want,
take it to your camp site and sleep away in the shade.
