because then I can put the hammock wherever I want to in the yard. I'll be drunk on hammock power!

I think a stand hammock with a nice, angled Beach umbrella could be deluxe.

Put a little bluetooth speaker out there to listen to baseball games, podcasts or music. A little table for a glass of iced tea, a fat book. Life's good.

You guys get me. ::sniff::

I'm copy pasting this into a text for DH. Muwah, ha, ha.

It's nice to see some brave pretenders trying to make it interesting.

I prefer hanging my hammock from trees, and that is my primary mode. However, with my stand I can move the hammock into the sun or shade or even my living room! The stand would trump the trees except I like to rock my hammock while I'm in it and the stand tends to squeak.

Why isn't everyone pelting me with JOY, dammit? - Zenkitty

I have 2 trees in my backyard, but at opposite ends. Also, I think the cedar is not arranged properly to have stuff tied to it, so I'm thinking of getting a stand hammock as well (those of you thinking this way, there was one on Groupon Goods very recently).

However, with my stand I can move the hammock into the sun or shade or even my living room!

This is my thinking. Well, not the living room so much, but other than that, totally my thinking.

Very positive news, askye!

Happy belated, Todd! May the birthday festivities continue due to my lateness! (You're welcome!)

Back in the day when I lived in an apartment that had no yard access and also did not have a couch I set up a little stand hammock in my living room and it was more than a little great. I am pro hammock in any configuration, really.

I have neither a yard nor space for a stand hammock, but I have been tempted by a basket chair that swings from a stand.

I can heartily recommend a living room stand hammock. Mine has been awesome for reducing workday stress just by taking a 10- or 15-minute break to relax in. Best purchase I've made in ages!
