In chair mode, the ridgeline is 5.5 ft wide and best fits a Roo Jr. to Roo Double. In lounge mode, the ridgeline is 8 ft wide and best fits a Roo Single to Roo Double XL.

Do I need to use hammock straps with the Swiftlet?

No, you do not need hammock straps to hang in the Swiftlet.

Can I sleep overnight in the Swiftlet hammock stand?

Yes, you can sleep overnight in the hammock stand. We recommend only one person sleep overnight in the Swiftlet at a given time. If you are very tall (6’4” +), we recommend a Swiftlet Extension Bar to expand the length of your hang. The extension bar utilizes both the short and long bars of your Swiftlet portable hammock stand to create a full-length hammock setup ideal for taller campers to sleep overnight.

Can I leave my Swiftlet outside for extended periods?

Yes, the Swiftlet was designed for all-weather durability, built with aluminum and non-corrosive metals to last in any element you leave it in. Leave it up on the patio, in the garden, or outside the camper van. If you’d like to leave your hammock attached to your Swiftlet, we recommend protecting your hammock with the Wallaroo protective hammock sleeve.

How many people can hang safely in the Swiftlet hammock stand?

The Swiftlet hammock stand can safely hang up to 300 lbs, we recommend no more than two people in the stand at any given time.

Does the Mantis all-in-one hammock fit in the Swiftlet?

We do not recommend using the Mantis with the Swiftlet at this time. If using, remove the bug net from the Mantis, and expect the hammock to hang close to the ground because of the integrated ridgeline on the Mantis. Our first suggestion is to use a Roo hammock with the Dragonfly.

Can I attach a Dragonfly bug net to the Swiftlet?

The Dragonfly bug net and Swiftlet do not seamlessly integrate at this time. However, with a little ingenuity, it can be used, but expect the ridgeline of the Dragonfly to be much lower.

Can I attach a Ridgeline Organizer or Joey Gear Sling to the Swiftlet?

The Swiftlet does not have a dedicated attachment point for the Ridgeline Organizer or Joey Gear Sling at this time. However, with a little bit of elbow grease and ingenuity, hammock accessories can be attached to the Swiftlet.

Can I attach an underquilt to my hammock in the Swiftlet?

Yes, all of our trail quilts fit underneath a hammock while set up in the Swiftlet hammock stand. Setting up your underquilt is the same as if hung on trees. The elastic cord of your quilt should be strung through each cradle and attached to the hammock carabiners.

How do I use a rain tarp with the stand?

To use a rain tarp with your Swiftlet, you’ll need tarp poles, hiking poles, posts or trees to hang the tarp above you. Rain tarps do not have a dedicated attachment point with the Swiftlet hammock stand.
