Figured I'd post some pics of my new indoor setup. I put eye bolts in two studs on each side to spread out the force a bit, and ran 1.5" polyester webbing through each one to suspend the hammock. Added a ridgeline made from cheap "low stretch" cord and hung a blanket underneath to keep myself toasty warm. I spent the last two nights in it and slept soundly.
Looks great. Thanks for sharing.
How long is that hammock. Looks huge. Must be super comfortable.
Very nice. Recently put up a similar setup in my basement. Sleep in it about 3 nights a week. Works wonders for my back. I 'm currently using a 24 inch wide sleeping pad in it but, your blanket under quilt looks like it may be worth trying.
The hammock is about 11'6", and it's comfortable but it does feel a bit long. I'm going to re-gather the ends once I get my amsteel UCRs, so I may make it a tad shorter then. The blanket is 100% polyester, folded in half so it's double-layered beneath me. It's super warm, but it's also super heavy - I would never want to carry it anywhere. It works in the house though, and we keep it around 60* at night.
Nice set-up....I did the same in my basement on the wall where I couldn't see the studs and ensure that I was dead center (using ENO wall anchors). Love'n it! I took an atlas strap and threaded it through both. ( I think that pic will post....this is my 1st time responding to a thread....noob)
