Comprehensive fastening system

The variety of accessories for hammocks is surprisingly wide. Basic elements include fastening ropes. Although most hammocks come with ropes or straps included, additional ropes allow for extra fixation or securing in conditions where the standard straps in the hammock package won’t suffice. The rope should, of course, be resistant to weather conditions.

Sometimes a carabiner is included with the ropes. However, you can also purchase a carabiner separately. This can also be combined with a wall mounting bracket. Then there are other fastening elements and additional pegs, sometimes even in ultralight versions, which can be used to secure a tarp or cover to the ground – providing coverage and protection for the hammock against weather conditions.

In warmer months, where there is often a lot of (sometimes unpleasant) insects around, a mosquito net can be useful to save us from the usual hardships of sleeping outdoors. With some hammocks (for example, the Dragon from Lesovik), the mosquito net is standardly included, but this is definitely not always the case.

For better insulation

Then there are other specialties that allow you to easily extend the season of sleeping outdoors. These are primarily various types of sleeping systems and blankets adapted for use either directly in the hammock or on its outer side. They serve not only to provide greater comfort during sleep but primarily as an additional layer of insulation, allowing you to sleep in a hammock even when outdoor temperatures approach zero (or any other number, depending on the temperature limit of the sleeping bag you use in combination with the hammock). We even have insulation that can be used as a poncho if necessary.

Some manufacturers sell specialty gear hammocks that can be easily hung next to your main hammock to keep your backpack or sleeping bag cover from getting wet overnight. Or to keep ants or other insects away from food packed in your backpack.
