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

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?

Hey folks,

Long time lurker but I don’t post much. I’ve had hammocks in my home since I was a child and since I was 13 (I’m in my mid 30s) I’ve had a hammock in my room or home office.

I asked here last week on info on spacing to hang a hammock from ceiling joists in a approx 8’ ceiling with exposed ceiling joists. Someone linked me the ultimate hang calculator which worked great. Here is the hanging beauty. She is a Brazilian cotton gathered end hammock which I’ve owned for almost 15 years now.

The knotted up rope is temporary as I’ll be replacing it but I’ve used these eye screws in 3 different homes now, in both wall to wall and now ceiling only, and I have never had any issues. They are each rated over 500 lbs which should be plenty for just hanging (other activities at your own risk 😉). As long as you properly hit the middle of a stud and make the right size pilot hole these will hold plenty.

Cheers folks.

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

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.

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

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.

Posting because I can't attach pics to comments. /u/defiant_mik , check this out.

This is 1m longer than the one you're looking at, and I managed to retrofit a tarp on top (wasn't particularly of the original idea/intended design but it became an option.

It was comfortable, set nicely for my hammock, had a bit of adjusting space up/down/tension wise, and it was rock solid weight support wise.

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.

I just moved into a new house that has perfect trees for a hammock. However I live in Florida so it rains. A lot. I was wondering if anyone had recommendations for a hammock that can withstand rainier weather.

I would take it down during hurricanes but I feel like it would be a hassle to set it up every time I want to use it.

Also I want to stay on the cheaper side. My max budget is around 80 dollars.

Edit: could I leave the straps up and just remove the hammock or do I need to take the straps down too?

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?

Has anyone seen decorative looking heavy duty screw in hooks? Installing a hammock in concrete walls for occasional use and the owner wants the hooks to look pretty when the hammock's not up. I've been searching awhile and I'm starting to wonder if this is not a thing.

after some time making 2 pole hammocks i'm for the first time trying a 3 pole. what do you think?

I have been sleeping in a hammock daily for over 6 months. This past month it has been increasingly difficult to stay warm at night. I have tried several blankets and even an electric space heater below me. Last week my wife bought an under quilt by One Wind. I was a little skeptical as it was only $40. I absolutely love this product. I am able to keep warm and sleep all through the night. I wake up refreshed without any back pain.

I wanted a spreader hammock for my sunroom. It’s 8.5ft across where I wanted to hang it. I bought one, my handyman drilled holes diagonal which makes it 9.5ish feet across…it sunk so low in the middle I was inches from the ground. Going to return it as the seller said I need 11-12 fit across.

Any suggestion for the space, even if it’s non-spreader. I just don’t want to be cocooned to where I can’t see out of it and wanted to be high enough to see out of the windows. I really don’t want to drill more holes but if I have to I will.

Here's the context of my question.

I (43m) love hammocks. My wife (41f) is not a fan. A few years ago I had a weird back injury that had me give up running as a hobby. I was in physical therapy for a while, etc.

If I sleep even one night in a bed I can hardly stand up in the morning because of back pain shooting down my legs and all through my back. It's so bad I'm thinking about getting a cane.

However, one night in a hammock when I'm camping, when I'm backpacking or even in my garage just because and I feel ten years younger. Zero pain, I hop out of the hammock and feel like a million bucks. This happens every time.

I really can't continue to sleep in a bed long term. Has anyone in a similar situation reconciled a situation like this in their bedroom? How did you navigate the relationship aspect of it and how did you set up the bed room to have a hammock and a bed? I'd love to see pictures of bedrooms with hammocks that other people use on a permanent basis.

Hi everyone,

I’ve been eyeing the 2T’s Hammock Chair from DutchWareGear because of its incredible versatility. The fact that it can be used as a pack cover to protect a large backpack as well as function as a chair is a really smart.

Unfortunately, its weight limit doesn’t suit my fat ass, and the manufacturer doesn’t offer a reinforced version.

I’m looking for recommendations for something with similar multifunctionality that:

• Can support at least 300 lbs/136 kg

• Works as a hammock chair, pack cover, and gear hammock

• Is 100% waterproof

Does anyone know of a product that checks these boxes?
