I purchased a tensa 4 stand earlier this year to make sure selection at state parks a non-issue as well as give me the ability to hang inside my rented home. I'm a bit stumped on what to use as an anchor inside that will result in safe usage of the stand and also be acceptable to my wife.
I'm a big guy (6'5, ~330lbs) and, given that I rent, am a bit worried about the potential for some of the suggestions (shoe on the other side of a door, object othe other side of a window, etc.)I've seen in the past to cause damage to the home. In the area where the stand will fit, I don't have a great interior door option, but do have a sliding glass door. Am I overestimating the force that would be put on the anchor when I sit in the hammock?
Anyone have any ideas for something heavy I could use as an anchor that's easily stored when not in use (I considered a 5 gallon bucket of concrete but that was vetoed by the wife before I could explore whether that would be sufficient anchor strength)?
