Hey folks,
I figured I would ask the experts on this. I've started work at a summer camp, and they are installing a "hammock village" on camp for campers to hang out in during the day. The location has been chosen, and next week a crew is coming in to sink posts in.
The camp is thinking about using ENO doublenest hammocks, which run around $50 per hammock.
The hammocks wouldn't be slept in overnight, but would be used during the day to hang out in. I imagine they will receive a fair amount of abuse, probably more than an average hammock, and while we can set rules against multiple people in them, I would expect that at some point two or three kids aged 8-16 will try and climb in them.
I'm trying to pitch a cheaper hammock to save money for camp. Does anyone have a cheaper suggestion than the doublenest that wouldn't sacrifice quality, weight rating, and durability?
Also, if you were sinking posts into the ground for such a hammock village, how far would you put the posts apart from one another? This is assuming that we don't use additional webbing, just hook up the hammocks without a tarp or bugnet.
Thank you for any advice!
