Portable, easily concealable Suspension Tripods are a goal sought by many a Kink! There’s a Great discussion going on over at Fetlife about them.
If you are willing to spend a bit of cash (not much, really) and take the time to learn, here’s the basics you’ll need to know.
BondageLessons.com has a rundown on the materials and techniques. See the page Here.
YouTube has a great video showing us all how to tie a tripod. I’ve included it below.
This really is a cool bit of technique for anyone interested in building a basic, portable suspension rig.
Just remember…BE CAREFUL!! And you do this at your own risk. Any suspension is dangerous and DungeonPlace.com takes no responsibility for your actions.
When making your own dungeon you have to make the best with what you have, since most of us don’t have the luxury of making a custom dungeon from scratch.
Here, my friends, are a few of the basics to consider:
Is this going be a “Transparent Dungeon”? Meaning: Once your done with dirty deeds, do you need the space to easily transform into something harmless?
What are your main activities going to be? Meaning: If you love suspension, your needs will be different than someone with a love of fireplay or a love of throwing a single-tail.
The “Touches what make it special”. Meaning: Sound-proofing? “Dexter” brand kill-room plastic wrap? Fire extinguishers? IP Cameras?
Once you’ve defined the vision, it’s time to make the plan. Write it down, draw it, gather your resources and start.
Here’s the beauty of a home Dungeon…you can always revise! Start simple and build up. Do it in stages, it doesn’t have to happen all at once.
It has taken a while to reclaim the space, but we finally got around to doing it.
The Dungeon seems to have its own gravity, pulling junk, life-items and storage into it’s center. If sudden space is needed, that’s what’s taken…the space in the dungeon.
@DarlingEvil and I were sitting in Olive Garden waiting for our order and watching a summer storm crash against the mountains. It was Friday night – busy, noisy, but completely tolerable.
I began explaining a scene I’d been thinking out but realized my words were lacking. I didn’t have my Moleskine handy, so I grabbed my phone and drew out the Scene in Evernote.

(Yeah, it’s a very basic drawing…but that’s okay. There was also a bit of Comedic commentary running along with it.)
I love drawing out Scenes while I’m planning. I usually sketch them in my Moleskine then snap a picture and upload it to Evernote. But in a pinch? It’s nice to draw them out on the phone itself. (No, this isn’t a paid ad.)
A bonus? I handed this around to several people (a.k.a. victims) and they actually interpreted the drawing without much explanation.
So my kinky friends…take this tool and love all over it!
(For an explanation of Evernote itself? Go to their Site.)
Consider it the Holy Grail of many a Kinkster. That special room. Set aside, annointed, locked down and locked up, painted and primmed with accents just for one thing.
Down, dirty, evil, wicked kinky flow in the ageless fashion we love to call BDSM Dungeon Play.
It can happen and it can be done in ways that even the most curious of folk cannot easily recognize. Budgets can be managed. Schemes and dreams can be realized.
You just need to know where to start.
It is one of the main goals of this Site – showing the “how” and showing off the dungeons of those that have done.
“How to Build a Dungeon” by Maître Pierre is a great example of most considerations anyone would want to look at before building. Included are some great before and after pictures with detailed descriptions.
Foxy Furniture - If you’ve got some skill and some basic (free) CAD software, this Site is great! Hidden dungeon furniture plans for a variety of designs. DarlingEvil has some personal experience with some of these and recommends them highly.
For now, that will get you thinking. More is on the way…honestly. It’s gonna pop your gills a bit.
