quick and easy indoor hammock stands?

**Mustardman** · 02-11-2010, 23:20

So as most of you know already, the little lady and I recently moved to the Denver area. Well, we move in to our new apartment on Saturday, which is great - except one thing. Our bed, in the shipping container, won't be here until Thursday. We have some camping mats that we can sleep on, but ya'll know how uncomfortable that can be.

Luckily, our Blackbirds are with us and not in the shipping containers, so we were thinking we would hang them up as a more comfortable alternative while we wait for the bed to be delivered.

Obviously, we can't put holes in the walls, and we don't want to spend a lot of money for less than a week's worth of use, so we are curious if ya'll have any suggestions on how we could hang our hammocks up in the short term. I considered making something out of 2x4's but my power tools are in the moving container too

Any idears?

maybe you could buy stands from home depot or walmart and then return them later

Threaded pipe stands come to mind. Probably cheaper than a manufactured stand, shouldn't need tools, other than maybe a pipe wrench. Another plus is that once the bed gets there, you can store the bed to the side, or even on top, since you'll have been so comfortable you won't even think about going back to a normal bed!

'for less than a week's worth of use' that is where you err

My bed is some ridiculously expensive thing that we bought at Macy's before we started hammocking. It's got memory foam and down made from the wings of angels or something. I know it's blasphemy, but I might dare say it's even more comfortable than a hammock

It also cost way too much money to give it up

Get your quilts and hang outside...you'll definitely get to know your new neighbors real quick.

Hey, come over to my place. I've got two of the threaded pipe stands that you guys can borrow for as long as you need them. PM me if interested.

Well, in a very lucky turn of events, I got a call from the moving company today, telling me they have our stuff and can drop off the containers tomorrow afternoon, so we will be good to go and have actual real furniture to use

Thanks everyone for the kind offers to use your tools or stands, they were much appreciated. Ya'll are the best!
