Morning all, haven't posted in awhile. We are moving from a house with lots of trees to hang from to a house with no trees to have from and was wondering if anyone has made a pergola / gazebo for hammock use.
It needs to be able to accommodate 4 hammocks with one of them being a Clark Vertex. Any ideas would be appreciated.

Here are a ton of pics on a single hang pergola:

And a couple of pics lower down for multi-hang setups.

Yup I did the same search but I didn't find one that would work for all the family to hang together.
I am was hoping someone had thought this thru already. My thinking right now is this but expanded to fit 4 hammocks or 3 hammock plus 1 vertex

With something like this, you can potentially hang 5 hammocks, if you put one on the diagonal.Originally Posted by Captain Morgan
I am thinking right now to have 6 post and the whole family can hangout there.
I'm thinking 7 posts in a rectangle setup. Whereas you would have four corners and two middle posts, replace one of the middle posts and spread 2 posts to accommodate the vertex? I think that might be the only way to get everyone in there. Actually, probably needs to be a large square now that I think about it more.

I'm reasonably sure that the optimal arrangement in terms of hammocks-per-post (at least asymptotically) consists of equilateral triangles of length the length of the hammock ridgelines, arranged hexagonally.
I was just thinking about this last week. I have 2 6x6's in my backyard. Someday I'd like to add a second set to make a pergola and cover with ivy and flowers. Table and chairs for the middle. I've got a lot on my to do list so this will have to wait till next year. Love to see pics to get ideas or improvements though...

Have you seen the fire pit swings? Instead of hanging swings, hang hammocks.

These are nice but wouldn't have to be very large to hang just two hammocks?
