Anybody try running the rope on a Hennessy Hammock through the tree straps and then tying a midshipman’s hitch so that it’s easily adjustable? Curious how this might work under load with this particular rope

Found this photo on hangloosehammockshi.com. Is this a reasonable way to mount a hammock chair? If so, why don't more people do it?

I recently learned I have (yet to be confirmed but very likely) GERD.

One common treatment method is elevating the head of the bed by 6 inches or more.

It has helped a lot, but isn't pleasant to sleep on a bed thats more like an off ramp.

I've considered sleeping in a hammock full time in the past, and now am considering it for more acute medical related benefits potentially.

The Amok Draumr ultralight XL also is interesting as it's similar to an adjustable bed.

I know back problems are the common reason people sleep in hammocks, but have never seen acid reflux to be a motivation.

While adjustable beds exist, they're quite expensive compared to hammocks, even nice hammocks and I also would benefit from having a bit more space in my bedroom if I swap out a queen bed for a hammock that is hanging from the wall.

I appreciate any input.

I've been sleeping only in a hammock for the past 5 years. The only time I slept in a bed during this period was when I broke my hallux, but apart from that, the hammock has been a blessing in my life. I feel that my posture has improved over time, and although the back pain hasn’t completely disappeared, it has decreased a lot. I recommend it to everyone, they are pretty common here in Brazil, but not everyone uses on a daily basis

Hey yall!

So, I was planning on hanging a hammock off the edge of my roof deck of my school bus conversion, but with the width of the bus, I'd only be able to hang the thing straight down.

My thought was to run 2x6's on the top and bottom and bolt them down (with a filler 2x6 piece for good measure)

Would a 3 foot overhang and 2 feet of bolting, with 1/2 inch bolts and washers, have enough support for a standard hammock? Would I have enough distance to swing there? Cuz my thought there was I could get a 3 foot filler as well off of an 8 foot board.

Any help would be great, thanks 🫡🍻

I have a beam in the roof of my home that is 2.4 meters high and 4 meters long. I’m considering hanging a hammock from this beam as a place to lounge and as an alternative to an air mattress for guests. My plan is to install two hooks on the beam and use carabiners to make the hammock easy to attach and remove.

I’m looking for recommendations for hammocks that would suit these use cases. I have enough space for a larger hammock, and it doesn’t need to be weather-resistant since it will be used indoors. I’ve noticed that many popular hammocks are designed for camping and are made of nylon, which I find noisy when handled. I’d prefer something made of cotton or a similar soft fabric to avoid this issue.

Do you have any suggestions? Thankful for any help :)

Is the “red dot” a good location to mount a hammock, using 2 1/2” x 3/8” deck screws (2)

I've seen some images of 3d printed button knot alternatives and I think it was hummingbird hammocks that used some and I'm wondering if anyone has had one break on them or if they are actually decent

Update: After more research and reaching out to the wonderful people at the Home Improvement Stack Exchange, I've decided to move forward using the ceiling joists and two hangers for heavy punching bags. To minimize forces and maximize my space, I'll be purchasing a large enough hammock that I can comfortably lay on it at a 45 degree hang. Thanks to everyone who gave their input. I'll try to post pics once I have the hammock actually in place.

So I have a spot in my basement that I would love to hang from, but I need a sanity check from those who have messed around and found out. I'm considering suspending from the foundation walls in a corner of the basement. I don't want to put a stand in the corner instead because right below my planned hang spot is a couch that I use when I have friends over for game nights. I don't trust drilling into the joists in the ceiling because the house is over 100 years old. That leaves the wall.

The question at the end of the day is: can I expect the wall to hold without issue or am I looking to bring the house down on my head?

My husband grew up sleeping in a hammock (don't think he slept in a bed until his early 20s) but we are only familiar with how to hang them in cement walls. I've reviewed posts in this forum to see if I can find a resource on how to set it up in a wooden house, but I didn't have any luck. No clue where to start but am hoping for some guidance on a method to get hammock hooks in the walls here in the U.S.

Can someone point us in the right direction?

As a little aside, we typically have our hammocks made in his village and the last one retained the wood smoke smell from the lady's kitchen for years and it was so comforting. :)

Back in 2016 I started sleeping in one for my back ( it’s super crooked) I try to sleep in a bed up it’s impossible to fall asleep

My dad is just around 300 lbs at 6’3”, I was looking for a recommended hammock for casual use? And if anyone knows a good stand that could handle it! Looking to grab one with straps he can take with him but also a solid stand for easy setup at home

Hello! I bought a hammock chair and stand for my bedroom a few years back. I recently had to put it in storage while I was moving and once I finished moving, after a series of very unfortunate events, I found out my ex-roommate/friend stole all of the bolts and screws for the hammock chair stand and my tools. I still have all the parts, I just need the screws and bolts to put it together.

Any suggestions on where I can get the replacement screws and bolts? Attaching a picture of what the stand and parts looks like.

I've been sleeping in a hammock exclusively for almost 2 years now. I've been using this guy the whole time, until about 5 minutes ago, when the shitty fabric finally gave up the ghost and I shoved my elbow through it. Figured I'd ask the experts before I bought myself a new bed this time.

I'm pretty hefty, looking for something at least partially cotton and cost-effective, Brazilian style with a total length of 144" give or take(I really don't want to move the brackets), that will last me at least as long as the shitty Amazon one. Preferably longer? If you have a favorite brand or hammock I'd really appreciate being pointed towards something other than Amazon or Lowe's.

Howdy,

I'm looking to sleep full time in a hammok and I'm picking out a stand for it. So far I like the Eno Solopod the most but I'm a bit worried as my Kammok Roo Double is listed as 6" longer than the Eno DoubleNest that Eno pairs with the stand. Anyone have any experience with this setup? All or part of it is useful info.

I am moving into a new apartment and I'd like to get a hammock instead of bed. Wall or ceiling mount are not an option. I am looking into budget friendly options that seem sturdy. My budget is around 100€, and hammock from the image fits in that budget. Wood thickness is 5.5cm and length is 3.20m.

Usually during the summer, I spend up to one month sleeping in hammock outdoor and I find it quite comfortable. I move a lot when sleeping, so the mount would have to be stable and not rock or squeak with movements. I had trouble sleeping times when my hammock was tied to unstable trees or trees with multiple hammocks that would rock with turning or moving. So if frame is not stable, I would rather opt for just a matress.

Does anybody have experience with similar stand, or have any other reccomendations that would fit my budget. I'd rather avoid diy as I don't have a car or tools, so it would be a bit of complication.

I need to hang my hammock from exposed ceiling joists in a lofted bedroom (Every wall is too far apart and would be in the way of furniture. Is there a resource similar to those on optimal hang height/width that can use to have an idea of the distance I need to anchor each point?

Being the ceiling I plan to thick rope to extend the ends of the hammock to the ceiling anchors so it sits lower.

Ordered some Zing-It line this morning to make a tarp ridgeline and was going to thread a Dutch Hook on the spliced loop end that goes around the tree. I got to thinking if there are any other easy options instead of a Dutch Hook. Carabiner maybe, something else?

What are you kids using?

Ordered up some Zing-It 2.2mm line from RBTR this morning. Was going to play with splicing a Dutch hook or something similar on it for a tarp ridgeline.

Besides the Dutchware Dutch hook, what are my other choices for hardware for the zing-it ridgeline going around the tree? How are you guys attaching the standing end of the ridgeline to the tree?
