Indoor hammock stand

[Happycamaper]

Is anyone using a hammock stand indoors ? I'm looking the set up something indoors, any idea or suggestions. I'm planning on using a ENO double

I just made one to use indoors and I know olddog uses one inside too.

I found that the hammock in the basement with the pad eyes in the ceiling worked very well for me! - The stand is harder to hide.

Happycamaper, here is the one I use inside the bat cave. And the link http://www.hammockforums.net/forum/s...ad.php?t=35273

I use one for the large Brazilian hammock that I sleep in every night. Didn't have a convient place to hang one, and didn't want to drill holes in the walls. Works great.

I use this one...

I just got the black one when it was in stock, tho. They also sell thru Amazon and their own personal website, but I personally ordered thru eBay... plus I got ebay bucks back, which are fun. I actually got the only auction-style listing for that hammock, so I only paid around $60 for the stand and hammock, as I knew that I really only wanted the stand.

The stand is worth $90 by itself, in my opinion. It's as light and compact as turtle lady's bamboo stand. It's pre-built. It holds a great deal of weight without any stress whatsoever... and I think that's due to the way the hook swings around the bearings. Always keeps the weigh centered, and persistant rocking is inevitable.

I enjoy it. Have used it for at least 7 or 8 months. But I am on the verge of replacing everything in my room (entertainment center, L-shaped work desk, hammock stand, coffee tables, etc.) with the Floating Bed, or at least a homemade version of it.... for a number of reasons. The two biggest reasons are: (1) that it is the flattest lay you can get, so pillows & blankets are no issue.. plus I just like a flatter lay.... and (2) more than one person can join me on a flat, yet "no pressure point" sway.

I'm going to build one of these for outdoor. But I think it would be a great indoor stand too. The poster provides free plans in .pdf file.

I built my olddog variant and use it indoors. Added rubber chair tips to the bottom to protect the floor and keep it from slipping.

if you wanna spend a little coin - the vario stand is awesome.
