Hammock stand for inside the house, any recommendations?

Would like to build a stand-alone hammock stand for inside my house. Anyone have any designs, pictures or websites you could share? Many thanks!

Look at a turtledog or turtlelady hammock stand in the DIY section.

Turtlelady's stand would work.

Alamosa's stand would work as well, but i'll be starting a build tomorrow for a stand with a smaller footprint for smaller rooms...I'll post a new thread upon completion...

+1 on a turtlelady variant (I use a TurtleDog myself). They are easy to make, can be done with new materials for about $50, and are portable (if you have a small car then you might need to try one that can be broken down to smaller pieces or use a roof rack). The only drawback that I see is that they take up a lot of real estate in your house.

If you need something a bit more compact for a smaller room then you might want to look into a pipe stand. dejoha has a nice write-up with some links. There are several other stands out there and I recommend that you do some searching in the forum for them.

Good luck!

I often use the steel pipe stand design.

What’s Up Hammock Forum Dudes,

I saw this thread a few months ago and thought it was an awesome but expensive idea. None the less, I keep the idea in my back pocket until I had the opportunity to bring it to life. It took me a long time but I finally got everything I needed and got it up.

I had moved to Arizona about 4 months ago and it took me about 3 months to get all the tools and the help to get this up and usable. But it is up and it is very sturdy!!!! SHOUT OUT TO HF member “dejoha” for the great diagram that I followed!!!!!

I included pictures of the setup as well as the Hammock itself. It is one of my camping/hiking hammocks (Warbonnet Blackbird 1.7). But throughout the changing seasons here in Arizona, I will switch out to more appropriate hammocks.

. ENJOY!!!!

I don't know how I never thought of that... I'm bringing home the threader from work this weekend! As a gas fitter, I gotta say that is AWESOME.

Just a quick update guys,

I though that the hang that I had was a little high for a short fellow like me.

I guess the clue was when I had to use a step stool to get into the hammock.

So I dropped down the hammock to a proper height and it seems to be much better. I was a little scared to do this in the beginning because I wasn't sure how well the tree Straps would hold onto the pipe. I included a couple of pics of the adjustment so you guys can have a looksee!!!! ENJOY!!!
