How to rig a system to hang inside

[WarmSoda]

How sturdy is this stand? Pretty cheap for supposedly 400lb load. Is it long enough to hang a 10' hammock from?

It'll hold a 10' hammock, but it won't fit in the 10x12 room that was the original post. The stand comes in at 15 feet. I've heard of some people had bad experiences with the attachment points not being high enough, so they were hanging almost on the floor. This can be a serious problem for bottom entry hammocks.

Search the forums for stands and you will find many mods to this stand as well as DIY stands. I've made one that works really well and I use it indoors during the winter for experimentation of new sleep systems, suspensions, etc. as I gear up for next season.

h = (.5 x user weight) / sin(support angle)
where the angle is the angle of the hammock support to true horizontal.
