Abstract: A product and a method of manufacture and assembly of a prefabricated wall panel for construction is shown and described. The present invention is directed towards minimizing the labor of multiple additive steps using many layers and materials seen in many building envelopes. In one example, the method comprises, A series of prefabricated residential or commercial building panels made of any of varying materials such as hemperete, fiber, cellulose, plant material, bio-aggregate, aggregate, aerated concrete, composite or inorganic materials, of substantially solid body with channel shaped elongated voids substantially located at the vertical sides as well as horizontally across their top. Said voids in one panel are a connected channel wrapping around 3 or more sides of the panel and exposed to the exterior of said panel.

Abstract: A portable hammock stand includes first and second identical collapsible pod assemblies. Each pod assembly incorporates a plurality of elongated rigid legs having respective top and bottom ends. A top fastening hub holds the legs together proximate their top ends, and the bottom ends of the legs diverging to a ground surface. A flexible suspension strap extends downwardly from the top fastening hub, and has a free end adapted for hanging a first end of a flexible hammock. An elongated ridge pole extends substantially horizontally between the first and second pod assemblies, and has first and second opposite ends. The first end of the ridge pole attaches to the first suspension strap between its free end and the first top fastening hub, and the second end of the ridge pole attaches to the second suspension strap between its free end and second top fastening hub.

Abstract: A self-standing hammock frame has three spaced apart hammock suspension points. The hammock frame comprises first, second, and third leg assemblies. The first leg assembly has raised ends located at respective first and second hammock suspension points. The second leg assembly is joined to the first leg assembly, and has raised ends located at respective second and third hammock suspension points. The third leg assembly is joined to the first and second leg assemblies, and has raised ends located at respective first and third hammock suspension points. The first, second, and third leg assemblies cooperate to form a closed-end hammock support structure.
