G'day Julie, 

Yes, that's correct.  The length does not include the Nylon Chord hanging kit.
It will need to be suspended at a distance of 220cm or shorter, as per the length of the hammock.
The further apart the suspension hooks, the tighter the hammock will be.

G'day Michelle,

Hammocks are generally designed to be used straight, meaning head to toe with the anchor ropes.
There's no reason why you couldn't lie perpendicular, you'll just need to triple check the hammock fabric width to make sure you'll actually fit.
In the case of the Coleman Lightweight Hammock, its 150cm wide, so most adults probably wouldn't comfortably fit sleeping this way.

G'day Kate,

There are a number of ways you could hang the Coleman Lightweight Hammock depending on where you wanted to set it up. You could purchase some D-shackles from a hardware store if you're setting it up at home, or if you're taking it camping or hiking you could purchase some Sea to Summit Hammock Tree Protectors or Suspension Straps.

G'day Kate,

The Coleman Lightweight Hammock just has the two hooks on the end, any rope or clips that you'd need to hang it up, you'd need to grab separately. 

*Update Nov 2020 - these now come with some Nylon cord for hanging, we'll get an image of it uploaded to the site in the next 48 hours.
