2. Spreader bar hammocks
This hammock are more bulkier and heavier compare to other hammock. This is usually because it has special hardware and accessories that need to be use when setting up. Their signature characteristic is the wooden bar that help to spread the hammock out to flatten the fabric.

4. Single-point and Multi-point hammocks
Single point designs are hung from one overhead anchor point. Single point hammocks usually required extra engineering to allow sufficient space for occupant and provide stability during movement. Single point hammock are only for single occupant.
Multi-point are getting more popular, it need more anchor point from 3 to more in order to set it up. The best thing about multi point hammock is it create larger platform that can cater for 2 or more occupant to sleep inside. The downside of it is it might be the heaviest and most robust because of their increase load capacity and hanging requirement.

Hybrid hammock include the rest of the wild and wonderful variations. and it can be a smaller subset of other design categories.
