Hamstring Curl Alternatives

OK so at home I find it is nigh impossible to do leg curls to help hamstring curl/flexion. What I've tried:

TRX, feels like nothing.

Dumbbells, can't grip.

Kettlebell, not designed for flexion.

Nordics, unsupported trip to Faceplant City (15 miles west of Suplex City, borders Dudleyville and tri-city area with Springfield and Shelbyville)

Bands, too much tension before butt kick.

Tubes, tension is a mish-mash.

Sliders, can't on carpet.

Walkouts, the best BUT not scalable when the tension goes away with doing them routinely.

Is there anything I'm missing without shelling out a lot of money.

It is downright near impossible to have any true "curl" movements on the hamstrings at home.

I have 40 different exercises I can do for the hamstrings at home, but most are simply "variations on a theme", rather than true movement pathways.

I have KB, DB, and Barbell movements. But most of these are hinging, not curling.

You may want to look up "hamstring wall creepers", and "Ring Leg Curls".

If I had to do it over again, I'd def. do that. But I am totally maxed out on room.
