Hammock Stand

[@craiglekin9676]

I love your knot tying with explainations about each. clever rigging , going to try it with an additional perpendicular line on the stiiff leg then stake it to the ground on each side for no-swing in the wind. Great video!!!

This is genius! Two questions: 1. Can I use dynama instead of rope? 2. Could I use some other material than 2x4 for an A-frame? Maybe something shorter than 7' ? I'd like to know how light and small I could make this an attack a hammock from the A-frame to a door frame on any car

[@busseysgarage2485]

The best stuff on the planet would be wench cord line. Overkill. Smaller dynema would be even better. I just happend to have the rope. Door frame might bew a little low. Tie point for my hang needs to be about 6 feet up. Back door of a van or raised pickup would be great.

From germany i like to say thats awesome and Great idea!wish you good hanging!

Nice work

[@nrnrnrify]

its better to just make a free standing pipe frame... Easier to pick, rigid top rail, less ropes. Its overengineered and not very simple, still takes a lot of place in transport.

[@KelloTao]

Arent the 2x4s too long to carry? Any idea to control the transportation length to 5ft and below?

[@busseysgarage2485]

Hi! I admit I just throw them in the back of the pick up and let them stick out however I guess you could tie them to a roof rack but that's just me.

[@KelloTao]

@@busseysgarage2485 haha ok, I'd like to keep my tonneau cover closed and I only have a 5.5 short bed

[@busseysgarage2485]

Yes they are long and stick out the back of my pickup. You could easily cut smaller lengths and sister them together with some eye bolts.

I d/n understand how the ABS pipe d/n fall-over, dropping you and hammock to ground.

[@busseysgarage2485]

Hi! The tie off point (Tree or other similar) must be as high as the ABS pipe on that end or yes you fall down.
