Thanks, and cool design. I think I might try bringing the height down to 60". I think that should be tall enough for an indoor hang.

Could I probably get away with using the following?

1x 10'x1" pipe
2x 90° elbows
2x t-joints
2x 72"x1" pipe
4x 24"x1" pipe?


I'm living in a trailer/mobile home now and the studs...

What if I were to sew in some zipper tracks on the outer edges so that the hammock could be closed from the outside or the inside? Would that be adequate for dealing with moisture?

I've been kicking around the idea of spending the majority of my nights sleeping outside this winter. I slept in a hammock last winter inside (where there was no heat) and it got pretty **** cold....

I weigh around 145 lbs and I'm 5' 10". I didn't see any rating on the cord I purchased. I got the thicker cording at home depot and the gathered ends were done with some regular nylon string that I...

Haven't posted in a while but I did manage to get a hammock put together. I kind of winged it on the knots and suspension but I haven't fallen out of the hammock in the past week or so that I've been...

Already took care of this part. I'm at the stage where I just need to construct and hang my hammock. I understand the construction for the most part, I'm just not sure about the suspension. My...

What's going to be the easiest/cheapest suspension option for me to use for my indoor hammock? Also what is a fixed end? I've seen this term used several times but it's not in the glossary either.

Nevermind my thinking the hem transition would be messy. I'm not very familiar with sewing and my friend pointed out it could be hemmed differently than what I was thinking. I'm going to go ahead and...

I understand that. I don't understand the transition.

In some parts both layers are folded over and hemmed together, in the parts where the opening is so you can put...

I like knotty's tutorial. I think I'd also like to do a double layered hammock since it's going to be getting very cold soon. I'm kind of confused about the hemming transition though. I've been...

I'd go 4'+ if I could but I'm stuck with the base I already have. It's probably best that it's a bit lower just in case I were to fall on the base of the support.

Do I really need a ridgeline or...

Already came up with a fix that should work. The stand I have is made of three parts. I can just use a shorter base bar so that they're not so far apart. I think pvc will be strong enough if I can't...

Unfortunately it's too long >.>

The bedroom is only about 11x11.

Found it! It's a bit dusty and has a few rust spots but that's not gonna hurt anything.
It's this style of hammock:...

I've got a stand somewhere in my barn from an old hammock my dad got from Marlboro. Gonna go hunt for it in a bit and get measurements on it when I find it.

Thanks for the great advice. The studs in mobile homes are 2x2 or 2x3 which is why I asked if it was even a good idea. I'll do some searching for stands. I would prefer a discreet stand. Does anyone...

I'd like to replace my bed with a hammock but I've got all kinds of questions.

Firstly, can I build/construct the hammock myself?
If so what kind of materials should I consider?

I'd like my...

Hi, I'm Dean. I'm somewhat impulsive and have lots of hobbies and interests as a result. I randomly thought about hammocks for some reason this morning and now I've got a thirst for hammocks that can...

I like this idea. Finding information on indoor hammocks is the reason I joined this forum.
