Thank you Leatherdome, that is exactly what I was looking for!

I'm thinking of building one of these stands, but I have a question that I haven't seen an answer for yet. How much strain is put on the anchor point at the foot of the stand? I'm thinking of using...

I took a double pluq (4 layers) plus pad down to 32 in a damp, raining weekend. With that and a military CWS system I woke up in the morning thinking, "I'm too comfortable to get up." First time in...

WhollyHamaca,

Please feel free to use any part of the design in this thread.

This was a proof of concept model that was rarely used. It DOMINATED the room that it was in. It was freakin'...

Randy,

When I set this up on the carpeted floor, there was no way that the stand was going to widen out on its own. On a slick, hard floor I could see that happening and a simple length of cord...

I present to you my version of a DIY folding hammock stand...

The idea for this has been banging around in my head for more than a few months now and I finally got the time to put this thing...

Gary,

You guys must have broke camp early. I didn't expect to hear from you guys until late tonight.

Get any more "bumps in the night" last night?

Mike

Okay, so yesterday was a total "goat rodeo" kind of day, but we made it to the hang for a little while.

It was nice to meet some of the other forumites. Gary_R, wierd1, GreenMan, SMJerry (and...

Well, it looks like I should be able to make it during the day on Saturday!

My ankle is doing much better after a couple rounds of acupuncture. I'll have my family with me so we'll have our 7yo...

Gary,

As much as I want to make this hang, I might not be able to.

I'm trying to get a sprained ankle to heal up, but it doesn't want to cooperate.

Not sure if I can handle the hike it...

In hopes of providing some useful information...

It occurred to me that when whipping the end of the hammock I had been either folding the material in the middle then gathering, or using a "W"...

I discussed this with my better half and she suggested that we may actually stay Saturday night. We have a 7 yo son and a 2 yo daughter, so my wife and daughter may stay in our tent. I'm sure my...

I'm planning on moving up from my DIY ripstop whipped-end hammock to a more comfortable Brazilian hammock for my bedroom.

My wife and I like the looks of this hammock but I'm not sure of the...

bgraybackpacker, I wasn't sure if the folks planning this event wanted kids in their camp. As a parent, the kids are the reason for the camping. But many non-parents don't appreciate kids around. ...

Is this a family-friendly event? If so, I might bring my wife and kids with me to hang out for the day. I don't think they'd be too interested in staying the night, but it would be great to meet...

Maybe you guys can help me out.

I've put together a double layer hammock of what I think is 1.9oz ripstop. There has been no sewing at this point as I don't have a thread injector. I've been...

From Gizmodo, here is an entire house of hammocks!

myles to go,

Your suggestion "you could even make them look like a shelves" is a bit of genius! I've been trying to figure out how to make this whole thing "appealing" to my better half and she's...

Help me out here guys!

My bedroom has high, vaulted ceilings and I'm trying to figure out how to hang without resorting to hammock stands.

If I'm going to hang directly from the walls, I'd like...

nacra533,

I agree that the pull would best be vertical, but with a hammock that isn't practical. :)

Can anyone think of a better way to distribute the weight of the hammock so as not to...

Hi everyone,

I've got an idea that I want to run by the good folks here at the forum and if it looks like it will pan out, I'll make a prototype and share the results.

My desire is to hang...

Scott,

Please be sure to give us a review of the Navaho when you get it. I'm looking into full-time hangning and only have experience on Myan and nylon hammocks.

Also, let us know how you hang...
