Lets see your garden hammock set up

[Greg]

I don't have one in my garden but this is the hammock set-up at my Sister-in-Laws house that I often use to chillax with a bottle or two of cold beer

My S.i.L husband made this from scratch, and it is really stable..couldn't fault it!

I like it, looks as if you could have a party in that hammock and less chance of falling out after the beer or 2

Ok here's what I ended up with;

50mm waste pipes concreted in to the ground at a depth of around 450mm as shown here

I was given some metal tubing which slotted inside the waste pipe pretty snugly but wasn't as strong as scaffolding tubes as i found out when they ...emm slightly bent under load. However i straightened them up and inserted other metal tubes inside these to double the strength and hey presto it worked.

There is still a slight bend in the poles when I lie in it but so far so good. If I was doing it again I'd definitely go for the scaffolding poles, might still do.

try filling the poles with sand...

I made a flat panel of netting and tied the ends to a 3' length wood dowel. I strung a length of cord between the ends of the dowel and through one edge of the net to form a back support. Tony

I made the net from braided nylon cord using a 2 1/8" gauge. 34 meshes across x 46 meshes deep. I can hang it on any sturdy overhead support. Tony

this is mine

two posts bolted to walls with ring bolts regards dave

If you timed your exit well enough dave, you could tumble out of the hammock and onto the chair in a 007 style! Add to the equation a pre placed cup of coffee or better, an alcoholic drink. And the neighbours would be very impressed!
