Abstract
A system of tripods, bipods and/or unipods is used to support a polygonal array of horizontal spars joined by connector hubs. The array may be extended indefinitely, in order to support a desired number of hammocks. As few as three different stock components are required. Each hammock is suspended from the structure by connecting its ends to a pair of the connector hubs.

A structure for supporting multiple hammocks, said structure comprising
- a plurality of substantially horizontal spars and
- a plurality of stanchions for supporting the plurality of spars a distance above the ground,
- each of said stanchions having one or more legs and a connector at its upper end for interconnecting said legs and supporting an end of at least two of said horizontal spars wherein said connector has means for permitting angular adjustment of said legs with respect to one another.
A structure for supporting multiple hammocks, said structure comprising
- a plurality of substantially horizontal spars and
- a plurality of stanchions for supporting the plurality of spars a distance above the ground,
- each of said stanchions having one or more legs and a connector at its upper end for interconnecting said legs and supporting an end of at least two of said horizontal spars wherein said connector is made of a flexible material so as to permit angular adjustment of the legs with respect to one another.
