Hammock tie-down?

[shacdaddy]

I have the Mopar rails up on my hardtop, and a Hennessy Hammock that I've used since they were released.

Y'all think I can tie one end of the hammock to the rail and be ok? I know the rail's weight rating, but that's not considering the lateral pull of a hammock.

I'd reason that lateral pull would not be good and I'd advise against it as it wasn't made for sustained weight in that direction. I have a Kammok I absolutely love and are trying to figure out a good way to secure it. I've thought about just wrapping the strap between the driver and passenger door pillar or some other way to distribute the weight evenly.

Kammok created this mounting hardware for wood but I was wondering if the loop could be adapted for a permanent solution to a rack or through the hard top (I say that lightly and reluctantly)

I don’t have a hammock and have no experience with them, but seems to me that you would be able to use the spare tire as a mounting point?

Why not just open your windows and use the jeep roll bars?
