Hi, everyone. I am currently struggling to find materials for free to make a turtledog stand for my hammock so I am trying to look for alternative stands so I can have more options of what to pick up from craigslist free offerring and freecycle.
So I came across a couple postings giving away bunk bed. I like the idea of using them so I could use the top bunk as storage for me and my wife. However, the size of most of them seem too small for the average adult hammock?
So I am wondering whether it is possible to modify the headboard side so the hammock could be strung up further away? Like lashing an aluminum post along the support in the back and have it stick out behind where the headboard would be and then remove enough materials from between the bunk bed posts to allow space for the hammock.
Does this sound feasible to do without power tool? (I'm living at a dorm apartment so I have no access to a work space for that purpose)
thank you for any and all inputs!
(Finances is real tight so We can't really spend any money on this as long as I have a working alternative available that does not cost us anything to keep (the bed I am currently using) so that's why I'm using freecycle and craigslist free offering section)
