This solution has the disadvantage that, when a hammock is hung from the suspension point, the ground anchors hold the post upright and exert a horizontal force on the post where they are attached to the post5 and that the hammock, particularly when loaded, exerts a horizontal force on the post where it is attached to the post, in the opposite direction to the force exerted by the tension lines, which can cause damage to the post, such as deformation or breakage. This problem is exacerbated if the attachment points on the post are not at the same height.10 Description of the invention It is a goal of the present invention to solve at least part of the problems with the standard of technology. For this purpose, the present invention provides a device for providing a support point for a hammock, comprising a support post and a stabilizer. The support post comprises a first post end, a second post end,and a support element, where the support element lies between the first post end and the second post end and closer to the second post end than to the first post end. The stabilizer comprises a first eye, a second eye and two guy lines, with a first guy line end and a second guy line end, where the first eye is connected to the second eye, where the two guy lines are connected to the second eye at their first guy line ends and where the second guy line ends are configured to tension the guy lines in use. The second eye is configured to receive the 25 part of the support post between the support element and the second post end, the support element is configured to support the second eye symmetrically, preferably symmetrically and with respect to a plane through the axis of the support post, and the first eye is configured as a hook to receive. The first eye forms a support point for a hammock. The hammock30 can be attached to the support point with a hook. It is an advantage of the current invention that the stabilizer, whena hammock is attached to the structure, absorbing the horizontal forces of the 2024 / 5904 BE2024 / 5904 3 guy lines and the hammock. The stabilizer exerts only a vertical force on the posts, thereby reducing the risk of damage. Preferably, the first eyelet is... It is an additional advantage of the current invention that a hammock can be easily attached to the device. Thus, a user can attach a hook to the first eye with one hand, because a ring retains its shape and an eye is not necessary. The user therefore does not need a second hand to hold the eye open while attaching the hammock to the device, preferably with a hook. Detaching a hammock from the device is also simplified. Preferably, the second eye and the two guy lines are formed by a single rope. Preferably, the rope is made of Ultra-High-Molecular-Weight Polyethylene, also known as UHMWPE, such as, for example, a 2 mm diameter Dyneema® rope. It is an additional advantage of the current invention that the stabilizercan be manufactured in a simple manner. It is an additional advantage of the current invention that the second eye is flexible because it is made of rope, allowing it to adapt well around the posts and the support element, when the second eye receives the post end and the support element supports the second eye. It is an additional advantage that the device has a stabilizer that is easier to store and weighs less. Optionally, the first eye, the second eye and the two guy lines are formed by a single rope. Preferably, the rope is made of Ultra-High-Molecular-Weight Polyethylene, also known as UHMWPE, such as, for example, a 2mm diameter Dyneema® rope. It is an additional advantage of the current invention that the stabilizer has a simple construction that is easier and more compact to store and weighs less.
