That’s one way to ensure your daughter doesn’t bring home any sex partners

Thats pretty cool! but my understanding is that sleeping in hammocks long term is really bad for your back?

OP - you should look into a murphy bed. If you can build that you can build a murphy bed. If you're trying to keep costs down, skip the spring kits / pistons for raising / lowering it and use a piano hinge.

I've built 5 or 6 of them now and they are huge space savers and you still get all the utility of a bed :) It would take up the same space as the hammock when it is closed (as far as useable wall space).
