    Called the hotel I'll be staying at in Omaha this August. Verified my dates and that they won't mind my TD stand being in the living room portion of our "suite". No problems they said SO I'll be able to sleep on vacation.

    I is SOOOOOOO happy.

    186 Turtledogs is a whole bunch of stands for a product where a lot of us only use between trees. Shoot, I'll bet there's a good portion of HF members that picked a house that had appropriate trees in it. Come to think of it, I might see about hanging in my front yard if my younger Mimosa tree is big and close enough now. But the vast majority of people either have different, permanent setups or just use the hammock for camping anyways.

    I just can't sleep good in a bed though I can fall asleep sitting up in the couch with a grandbaby sitting on or leaning against (or both) me.

    I'm sure someone has already done this but I haven't seen it, so here is a pic of the 1/4x2 round wire lock pin that I added to secure the pipes together. I know it's overkill but I have two young boys and I just feel better having the pipes secured together.

    Couldn't hurt.

    Don't let them think it's a swing though! The whole shebang could come down and not in an orderly or pleasant way...

    lol, too late...that's the first thing they did when they saw it in the backyard. I'm happy to report that everyone survived "the crash".

    Now I can finally get my indoor hang on! Thanks to everyone who contributed to this thread! Now I just need to get around to mitering the bottom of the 2x2's and cutting them shorter so they'll fit better in my car.
