Essential Hardware for Secure Relaxation
At Siesta Hammocks, safety and comfort go hand-in-hand. We offer a comprehensive variety of heavy-duty hammock accessories designed to make setup entirely effortless. Whether you are anchoring a traditional outdoor hammock between two trees, mounting a stylish hammock chair to your veranda, or safely installing an indoor sensory swing, these products available will ensure a stable, secure, and worry-free experience.
Important Note: If you are purchasing a freestanding hammock stand or an egg chair stand, you do not need to purchase these suspension accessories. Freestanding frames already include their own built-in hooks and suspension points!

Hammock Hanging Kits
Take the guesswork out of your installation. Our complete hammock hanging kits include everything you need to securely hang your hammock in one package. Featuring heavy-duty chains, adjustable ropes, and high-tensile carabiners, these kits make it simple to bridge the gap between trees or posts while allowing you to easily adjust the height and tension of your hammock.
Swing Accessories (Springs & Swivels)
Our swing accessories are designed to transform your single-point hanging chair into the ultimate relaxation zone. Adding a heavy-duty suspension spring absorbs the shock when you sit down, providing a smooth, gentle bounce. Pairing it with a stainless steel swivel prevents your ropes from twisting and fraying, which is absolutely essential for kids' sensory swings and rotating egg chairs.
Reliable Ceiling Hooks & Anchor Plates
We offer specialized, structurally sound hooks and anchor plates to safely secure your hammock chair or swing directly into timber joists or concrete ceilings. Designed to distribute weight evenly, they ensure secure placement and total peace of mind, letting you relax without worry.
⚠️ CRITICAL SAFETY DISCLAIMER: Weight Capacities
Your safety is our top priority. The hardware listed among these products available features high weight load ratings, but hardware is only as strong as the structure it is attached to.
- Always adhere to the weight capacity: Do not exceed the maximum load rating listed on the specific hardware product page.
- Verify your structure: Never install ceiling hooks directly into plasterboard or drywall. You must anchor directly into a solid, load-bearing timber joist or structural concrete.
- Consult a professional: If you are unsure about the structural integrity of your ceiling, patio beam, or tree branches, please consult a licensed builder or handyman prior to installation.
Common Questions
Do I need to buy hanging accessories if I have a freestanding stand?
No! If you are using a freestanding hammock stand, egg chair stand, or sensory swing frame, you do not need to buy separate ceiling hooks, tree straps, or chains. The freestanding frames come completely equipped with their own built-in suspension points.
What is the difference between Tree Straps and Wall Hooks?
Tree straps are thick, durable nylon belts designed to wrap safely around tree trunks without damaging the bark. Wall hooks are heavy-duty metal brackets that must be permanently screwed into solid timber posts or wall studs.
Why do I need a swivel for my sensory swing?
Sensory swings are designed to spin. If you hang a sensory swing directly from a static hook without a swivel, the fabric and ropes will twist tightly, which can quickly fray the material and compromise the safety of the swing. A swivel allows for smooth, safe 360-degree rotation.
How fast is shipping for these accessories?
We provide affordable and fast shipping Australia-wide. Because hardware is generally small and lightweight, we dispatch it quickly so you can complete your hammock or swing setup without delay.
Let customers speak for us
Comfortable cushion, great service!
I ordered a new cushion for my very old and tired egg chair. I was delighted the cushion turned up in only 3 or 4 days, and it looks great. Perfect timing for spring - I can now retire to my comfortable chair with my book in the sunshine. Very pleased!
