ENO in the apt?! I think so!

I'm not sure of the rules(just signed up and first post), but i just wanted to share a few things. Ever since I purchased my ENO double nest I've thoroughly enjoyed it. Went to the Texas Hang with Easttex last year(fairfield, 2012) and stayed in the camp site with Spaceweasel and Caveman. Great times! Afterwards, however, I began to have withdraws from non-hammock sleeping, so I made an executive decision. I bought a pair of porch swing hangers, took down my bed, lagged the hangers into a few studs in the wall, and now sleep in perfect hammock bliss. :lol: I'm going on my third month straight of hammock sleeping. :D Am I crazy? Maybe... Don't judge! Haha

Nice, a little spackle and paint for when/if you move, and no one will ever know, well except us. I still have not figured out the best way for me to hang in the bedroom. Wife won't let me remove the bed, so now I need to figure out how to hang just above it. I don't trust the wall studs. Rattling a few ideas around in my head.......RR

Just use the hang calculator and hang 6 inches off the top of the bed... Enough for insulation...

Here is how I did it.

6 inches off the bed. One end in the closet so I can unhook the other and throw the whole rig in the closet.

TSUHanger: welcome to the madness! They are all right... we are all a little weird.

I bought the eno hanging kit from Rei for $10. It has held me(215lbs) and my son(40lbs). And when you take the hammock down it doesn't look bad at all.

Although not the most elegant solution... Attach a 2x4 running horizontally across 3-5 studs and hang from the 2x4 it will spread the forces out over a greater area... Maybe put a shelf on top of the 2x4 so it looks a little more purposeful...

I got a laugh reading this.
I've been dieing to hang my hammock. Unfortunately the only two trees suitable to hang from are behind the garage.

I however have been eyeing bottom of the floor joices in our basement. I've got tons of space down there to play with.
Alternatively, I'd have to make a free standing stand as I can't reach the 12ft ceilings in the rest of the house, and most of our bedrooms are too wide to run lines to the walls.
