Tensa Outdoor and the commercial packable tensahedron stand

[boca1]

I’ve done it a number of times without incident. You are not the first to speculate that it could damage the mattress. I guess... which mattress? I figure the stress is distributed on 4 feet comparable in surface area to standing on your toes on the mattress. Is that going to damage it?

Not really sure why anybody would need to do it at home. If you'd rather sleep on a hammock than in a bed in the bedroom, just get rid of the bed and install wall anchors. If you're in an apartment or someplace where installing wall anchors isn't feasible, then use the stand, but still ditch the bed!

I can't use names, but we have 14 people who put in deposits for a total of 15 stands between Aug 6th and Sept 12th, 2018. We have emailed all at least 3 times and haven't heard back if they want the stand or not. We would love to get these people their stand - if they still want one - or clear our books if they can't get one for whatever reason. If you are one of these people or know of one, please contact us at [email protected]

Can't wait for my first outing with this in a few weeks. Hoping to put and end to my ground-dwelling days for good.

Could anyone here comment on the feasibility of setting up and breaking down every day indoors? I'm thinking about swapping my bed for a hammock instead of a new mattress. Tato would probably be better if I could keep it up permanently however my living space is only ~15'x20' so I don't think that would work. Looks like the tensa4 would be a great choice if i set up anchors attached to something like a radiator, door hinge, wall anchor, etc. and then broke it down during the day if I felt like it was getting it in the way of stuff. I have wood floors however would put little pads to protect the floor like with other furniture.

(can't simply anchor eye bolts into the walls and go stand-less due to the construction of the walls)

It has rubber feet which should protect the floor just fine I would guess

You could un-tether it and lean it against a wall or fold it and lay it on the floor against the wall.
Saves disassembling the whole thing.

Like Shug just mentioned...
You don't have to completely disassemble the Tensa4 stand. You can leave your hammock attached and fold it all together. This makes it about 8'8" X 4". If the length is too long, you can collapse some of the poles without detaching them. This method then takes about 30 seconds to set it back up. Re-anchor the foot end and you're set up. I don't bother anchoring the head end.

Thanks all, that's significantly easier than I was thinking. Somehow I didn't even think of even leaving the hammock attached. Looks like it will work out perfect.

I attended the motorcycleadvshow.com in Dallas.

It was a great event, the show was only half the fun. Enjoyed visiting with friends for about 3 hours. Went to bill dagroo presentation, had a chance to visit with him afterwards.

I bought a pair of Klim Mojave pants at a good price.

Made new friends around the campfire, Audrey joined us. She put this together in about 4 months. The show was a break even financially, but she is passion about the adv sport. That was her primary goal. She said the guy selling Mexican blankets did very well.


After the show we moved to lake dallas and had a camp out. Had about 20 people camp out, and made some new friends.

They cooked free hotdogs for us:



Perfect night on the lake


Sat around the fire



Went to a warm bed and watched some Netflix





Perfect morning, the chill gorilla fortress is perfect size for the tensa stand. I do want to order a thunder fly tarp.
