Hi everyone!
I have just recently discovered the wonderful benefits of sleeping in a hammock for myself and my son who is mildly autistic. Prior to the hammock he has had a really difficult time with sleep and we found out over the summer in his grandparents' hammock that he was able to fall asleep very quickly and was actually able to take a nap - something that he was hardly able to do in the past. So we used the hammock for naps outside in the summer but now that it is cold outside I bought us each our own Brazilian hammock to use indoors. Long story short we are not able to hang them inside from any structures in the house like we have planned so I have convinced my dad to build us a turtledog stand using 2x2s. At the moment, he has the tripods build but is hesitant to finish the stands because he does not feel that it is safe. He is concerned that if the legs break that the pole is going to fall on top of us. So my question to everyone is for those of you who have these stands - has anyone had any problems with the stands breaking or any other thoughts regarding his concerns?
Thanks!
