Indoor Stand for Couples

[Narwhalin]

This is from another thread that started talking about couples hanging, and I didn't see anyone talking about a stand for indoors. So, here we go!

This is something to look at for you: http://www.hammockcamping.com/Free%2...ck%20Stand.htm

I would think you could substitute wood for the pipes, and stain it to make something pretty nice, and relatively cheap. Also, you could build a shelving system in the back. I am also thinking it might look cool to put two additional support beams on top running from the posts that each hammock individually attatches, to the shared attatchment post.

I am also looking at what they call a three-point stand. Less flashy, but with some modification, it could work.

It is normally used for these spreader bar hammocks that attatch at three points instead of two. (Perhaps to stop that flip over thing that seems to happen with those hammocks?) Anyhow, I thought making a wider, sturdier version of one of those could be made to handle two hammocks.

There are also many commercial versions out there, and perhaps they should be mentioned. (Including price!) I will try to update this if I have time, but I really need to focus on getting my review done! Thanks for any comments and ideas regarding this subject...
