Frequently Asked Questions
Will the Outpost mount on my vehicle?
The stock mounting hardware included with every Outpost is designed to fit the majority of roof rack systems, but it is not 100% universal. See our compatibility blog for more details.
Can I hang things from my Outpost?
We do not recommend hanging anything beyond small accessories such as string lights or a tarp from the horizontal crossbar. The “A” frame telescoping legs can support larger accessories and products.
Can I hang a tarp over the Outpost horizontal bar?
You can use the horizontal bar of the Outpost as a ridgeline to hang a tarp, such as the Kuhli weather shelter or the weather shelter included with the Mantis all-in-one hammock tent.
What is the tallest or shortest vehicle the Outpost can be mounted to?
The vehicle roof rack that you want to mount your Outpost to should be no taller than 80 inches and no shorter than 50 inches.
Can I leave the Outpost mounted on my vehicle when I drive?
You can leave the mount attached, but we do not suggest you drive with the bars attached.
Can I mount the Outpost to something that isn’t a vehicle? Like a wall or tree?
No. The mounting equipment is only compatible with a vehicle with a roof rack.
How many Outpost hammock stands can I attach to my vehicle?
The amount of Outpost hammock stands that can be mounted to your vehicle is dependent on your attachment points and the weight rating of your vehicle's roof. Crossbars commonly have a weight rating of 165 lbs. If you are using light duty crossbars or stock crossbars that came on your vehicle, be sure to check the rating before installing your Outpost.
How have you configured the Outpost stand so I can achieve the optimum hang?
The Outpost comes with a short set of straps very similar to our Python straps. These straps have the same loops along their length for setting the Hammock in the desired position.
For adjusting the height, particularly with taller vehicles, you can telescope the legs, which will result in the structural ridgeline being at an angle. This is ok. Then offset the hammock, on the straps on the loops, further in one direction or to one side than the other. This will position the Hammock for the desired hang.
For mounting the ball joint, you will need a "hard point" to either clamp onto or bolt into. The included mounting kit can be setup in a variety of configurations. The most common setup is a set of Crossbars, but compatibility ranges from Crossbar stay racks, to basket style, to base/platform style systems. You can even mount to a wall or tree with a few after market nuts and bolts!
Care
- - Do not hang more than 10 lbs. from horizontal bar.
- - Stake out or remove hammock in high windy conditions.
