Okay...well it was just a thought. It would be a funny video especially if said awning rolled someone up like a burrito. But really now, am I the only one thats ever thought of it? I can't be!

BTW, the consumption of alcohol was not involved with this idea.
Although, alcohol would have resulted in a different post altogether!!

I was wondering about using the awning AS a hammock.

I can only be in just so many places at one time.

I just keep getting a cartoon image of a hammock on the awning and then when someone jumps in the hammock, the trailer flips over.

I would be more afraid of some women finding out that you where the one that told them to ignore this post. That might be a bit funnier than seeing you crash and burn trying to get in a hammock that is hung on the awning.

Well I didn't really want to verify to them that we have these thought!
I do like the awning AS a hammock idea! Maybe for star gazing.

Ladies ignore this post!!

Alright guys, we have all done things that seemed to work out better in our heads, right, RIGHT? So....before I act on this, um, thought, I'd like to find out if I am the first to ever think of this.

While sitting under my awning contemplating life mysteries, in no particular order, and wishing I had a portable hammock, it seems a waist that the awning only be used as a awning.

My question is...

1) What is the weight limit of said awning?

2) Can said awning hold up a hammock??

3) Can said awning hold up a hammock with me in it???

You moved here from somewhere else didn't you.
