Attach the hammock to the whip stand

[nimhed]

I have an old carpet beater stand made of 50mm iron pipes that, in terms of distance, is suitable for hanging a hammock. I'd like to make it a bit more solid than just tying a rope, so I'm searching for a suitable clamp to attach around the pipe.

A regular hose clamp works for about a week but then breaks. This is because it doesn’t have a natural loop, and the clamp wraps around both the pipe and more.

I found this one, but the question is whether it is strong enough to handle the load. I suspect that the threaded nut's weld might be too weak.

Alternatives?

I would have welded or alternatively drilled a hole and put in an eyelet. I think it will be difficult to achieve a durable solution with some type of clamp.
Then it's convenient to just unhook the hammock when you're done resting.

 

[nimhed]

Definitely a solution. Feels a bit more complicated to implement + it's not possible to adjust afterwards, but maybe that's a small problem. I'll have to think about it.

Now we don't know the weight of the person intending to use the hammock? 50 mm steel tube, how high? Maybe a tube between the stands!

 

[nimhed]

Already now there are pipes in between, or what do you mean? So an upside-down U of 50mm pipe stuck into the ground

Can't you clamp some form of stop with a hose clamp otherwise? It should be enough to keep the rope from sliding down.

Isn't it possible to clamp some kind of stop with a hose clamp otherwise? It should be enough for the rope not to slide down.

Yes, if a normally sensible person had set up the hammock.

Between the mat and the pole, one of these is intended to sit.

Yes, if a normally minded person had set up the hammock.

Between the hammock and the pole, something like this is meant to be placed.

I thought you could have a short string first, which it could then attach to. But @Daniel 109 probably suggests the best solution.

Yes, smart. Then maybe you can just thread an ögle directly on?

Should you go for 48mm or 54mm if the pole is 50?

 

[Daniel 109]

Why not the one I suggested at 51mm.
Choose the nearest dimension above the pipe's dimension.

How could I miss that?
