My Backyard Double Decker Hammock Stand

Thought the board might get a kick out of this.... So last year (prior to this whole hammocking thing) I designed and my dad help me build a pergola in the backyard. Even though we live in a townhouse, I still love the whole outdoor room thing. So, we built the pergola, wired it for a ceiling fan, added a drop screen, and it has been great! But then...it got even better....

When I picked up my eno, and started down the dark path of obsession, I realized that it was the perfect diagonal distance to hang out there, under the fan and under the stars! Now that the BB is here, I decided to try to go cross diagonal, double decker tonight.

Worked like a charm!!

Very cool idea. A little high off the ground for my taste as far as hanging goes, but cool nonetheless. :thumbup:

How does one get into the top "bunk" in these multiple-decker setups I've been seeing?

Curious,

It's almost 2010... Aren't we all supposed to have our jet packs by now?!?!

A simple boost of my wife and she's up and away. Really not that high. I can lift myself up and in, but i don't think she wants to be below me... Hmmm... :lol:

This is a cool idea. How is it working out?

Yes!
Yes!
and
Yes!
They were promised to me and I'm still mad about it. :cursing:

That's a cool set-up on a back porch of a townhome. Neighbors probably think you're weird, but are secretly jealous. The kids in my neighborhood are mad at me right now because I've already got all my hammocks boxed-up for the move this weekend. :D
