Anyway, the main issue with moving it is that it's heavy enough to tear the grass up if you don't lift it all the way - I mean, the heaviness is good when you're in it, because it feels very sturdy, but man, it's a pain to move, haha. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/any-hammock-owners#post-2120464 Tue, 24 Mar 2015 18:28:06 +0000 regberadaisy 2120464@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We have one and it just matted the grass it sat on. The biggest pain is probably storing it for the winter. We have a curved one and I'm able to move it around solo. But it is awkward to! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/any-hammock-owners#post-2120415 Tue, 24 Mar 2015 17:32:58 +0000 JMOM 2120415@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@raspberries: He made it? Wow. Was it difficult? Most of the ones we see have curved wood and I would have no idea how to do that. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/any-hammock-owners#post-2119844 Tue, 24 Mar 2015 11:46:56 +0000 raspberries 2119844@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We have a wooden one that DH made - it didn't really damage the grass, although the two weight-bearing legs put indents into the ground. But it's freaking heavy! It definitely takes both of us to move, and even then it's not easy - I probably wouldn't recommend one if you want to move it frequently. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/any-hammock-owners#post-2119828 Tue, 24 Mar 2015 11:42:23 +0000 JMOM 2119828@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We're looking for a new hammock stand. We had a metal one previously that rusted out. Does anyone have a wood one that they could tell me about? Are they easy to move, do they kill the grass, would you buy another? What do you like or dislike about them<br /> Thanks. </p>
