I like the gathered ends or whatever you call them. Usually I had been using nylon ones but I was having a hard time finding the one I wanted and the last one I got for indoors is woven cotton with rope ends. It is actually a bit too long for my 12 foot stand as I can't tighten it up as far as I like. I use an old (verry old) four inch thick mattress in the bottom that came from an old folding bed. If I turn it often enough it provides good support and super comfort.Originally Posted by Scarecrow

I would ditch the stand, and use wall attachments. You could do it with decorative flare if you wish. The beauty of wall to wall is you can move you hammock to one side during the day and have more space. Holes are very easy to fill in if you should move etc. ENO makes an Indoor Hammock Hanging Kit. Here are a copy links I am sure more Ideas will follow. QUOTE]
I would like to try wall mounting. We just moved into what was just a "camp" and it's owner built and the measurements and methods are quite wonky. LOL! All the walls are sheathed with half inch chip board and studs are not always where I expect them to be. The stud finder I have isn't working to find them either.
I live in a house that was built many years ago, and 'repaired' repeatedly over 150 years. There is paneling on top of 1" thick plaster and lathe, on top of studs that aren't spaced evenly. I've found that a small drill bit is just about the only way to find a stud. I have a pail of patching plaster and some spare paint, too
LOL! That gave me instant visions of this persistent little Nuthatch that plagues a big post out in the front yard. :-D Sounds like a good idea to me!I live in a house that was built many years ago, and 'repaired' repeatedly over 150 years.

Welcome from western NY. Spend time here and you'll find that as with homebrewing, hammocking has fully matured in all respects, compared to say 12 years ago when I looked into it and found much that was still experimental and iffy. There's still "new and improved" every year and this will probably go on forever. But whatever you want to do or where, you'll find plenty of helpful people here and answers to just about everything to do with hammocks and hammock camping. If you become a donating member, you'll have full access to all the forums also.
