Abstract
A space-saving hammock stand includes features configured to improve hammock usability in situations where use of a conventional hammock stand may be difficult. In some examples, space-saving hammock stands include features intended to reduce an overall footprint of the hammock stand (e.g., by hanging the hammock diagonally and/or in a corner of a room). In some examples, space-saving hammock stands are collapsible. In some examples, space-saving hammock stands are configured to be coupled to or suspended from a vehicle.
