We recently had a sleepover at the theatre. Here's my solution for a hammock stand that takes a minute or two to assemble...
... if you happen to have a motorized lighting batten, some scaffold pipe and a couple of cheeseboroughs laying around.
This configuration can support about 4 or 5 hammocks, the limiting factor being the length of the hammock rather than the weight of the occupant. The purpose of the scaffold pipe is to eliminate sway. All the weight is supported by the batten.
Remember to lock out the motorized winch before falling asleep, lest some practical joker come along and press the UP button during the night.
