MUY buena calidad, el texto imagenes. kzbin.infoUgkxbnOKZBE4evMO5V2vroHeCjq6d_MV6wJO Un manuel muy completo y trabajado. Resulta muy práctico. Para principiantes y profesionales. Lo recomiendo

[@Jamirobruno]

Hii i know its been 3 years since this video but there´s a chance i can get the plans? That link is down. Thanks a lot!

[@kitten-whisperer]

Ita not anymore. Pay for it, bum.

[@user-ky8je2qj3z]

Hii I know it's been like 3 years since this comment but-- Looks like they pinned an updated plans link 8 months ago!

[@licmar]

Just what I was looking for, thank you

[@marklangheim8000]

Didn't really think about a finish until I watched your film. Looks good the the trim too, think I will be adding this to mine. Cheers Rich.

[@_fcarle]

That’s a great little project for the scrap wood we have left from our house build. Funny watching this in 2021 where the said $25 would actually be $75 🤣

[@nateneuner6531]

I know! I used 2x3’s because they cost what 2x4’s used to.. works great and lighter to carry around

[@benstevens2164]

It's sad not funny. Let's Go Brandon FJB!

[@MultiMena123]

I little project for the summer! Thank you guys!

[@osvalchaves]

Amazing and easy to build. Totally happy with it

[@Woodbrew]

Glad you like it!!

[@SpencleyDesignCo]

Nice work guys! This video is fire!

[@Woodbrew]

Appreciate it!!

[@ChadHolston-zs7vq]

I would use a through eye-bolt with a washer in front and washer and nut in the back to hold the weight of the hammock. Other that that awesome job on the build.

[@ravyton7286]

Good job I love your ideas , thank you

[@Woodbrew]

Thank you! 😊

[@hieule5132]

Great guide

[@gregthorne4292]

Thanks for posting this! I saw your stand in Skiatook, and have been wanting plans!

[@nickdesert7304]

Thanks love you vids

[@Yolo-xj2qe]

By far the best design I’ve seen because it doesn’t require any chisels or glueing or heavy 4x4’s. I Just built it and it works perfect on my deck.

[@Woodbrew]

Awesome!! Happy to hear that!

[@Rogueknowledge]

Wow that was beautiful

[@Woodbrew]

Thanks!

[@TerryDengler]

I noted previously that while this was an easy build, I made mine from pressure-treated lumber, which made it very heavy. I also had to extend the upright post to 6' because my hammock was very long, also adding to the weight. I need to move the frame around to get shade where I can, to allow me to mow and to avoid killing the grass under the frame. So, I found a set of wheels that came off an old lawn mower in the scrap metal area of the recycle center. The shaft is attached to two metal plates 2" by 4" by 1/8" using "U" bolts. The plates are then fastened to the wooden frame with deck screws. The wheels are eccentrically mounted to the shaft allowing the mower deck to be raised and lowered. In my application, when in the lowest position, the hammock rests on the frame, when raised to the highest setting, the hammock rests on the wheels and is very easily moved wherever. I'm not sure how to post a video here so if you'd like to see how the wheels look and work, message me.

[@Woodbrew]

Nice ingenuity!

[@Erika-uc2lz]

I'd love to see how you did this if you still have the video or info on it

[@TerryDengler]

This was a fun build, really simple. I opted for pressure-treated lumber but still spent under $75. My problem is the length. My wife bought me a hammock that was hand-made by an artisan in our area and it is very long. I should have checked this because the frame isn't nearly long enough for my hammock. I'm trying to decide to either make the bottom rails 10' instead of 8' long or raise the vertical posts to 5' or 6' rather than the 4' in the design.

[@grahamedavis4080]

I have just built mine and have the same problem, what did you decide in the end as have the same dilemma what to extend

[@Woodbrew]

I would extend the bottom length!

[@veronicaperez6951]

Love it

[@Woodbrew]

❤️

[@michaelschlosser1194]

Replace the bit lag bolts with regular nuts and bolts and this thing is amazing. Replace the lag bolts with threaded and you can make this thing portable. Cost a bit more but having the luxury to throw it in the back or your trick and still be able to pack stuff around it is great. Anyone with two hands can get this thing together in a minute when it has bolts.

[@tdizzle2179]

now that is a great idea because storing it would take up lot less room brilliant idea

[@CHARGER08RT]

Cool

[@thkotsak1950]

very beautiful construction drink are the dimensions of the woods thank you

[@jessicabidwell9474]

Love this! Can I make the arms longer so the stand is taller on both sides or would that offset balance?

[@rahulsolanki14]

Can you give dimensions for baby hammock stand if possible. I'm planning for baby stand.

[@boblewis1287]

Step by step would help out a lot

[@Bo-xy4yc]

Great project.. did it myself. Lasting many years already. I used lag bolts.. expensive but worth it. Use one at each end of the hammock mounts.. I matched the bolts up at The HD. Painted the crap out of the white wood. Screwed and bolted. Total of 8 bolts.. the two at the top were great for mounting the hammock. Did it all before I put the feet on it... best to have the hammock so you can adjust the angles where you want them..

[@Woodbrew]

Happy to hear that!

[@andiwelder8742]

good idea.

[@Woodbrew]

Thank you! Cheers!

[@MultiChito20]

pls can you send me the plans

[@nicholashelling5514]

Are you sure those are 25 degree angles?

[@stankolodin5586]

Oklahoma wild.

[@Deqster]

Nice design. Looks stout.

[@wesleyfox5052]

I have the same hammock and it specifically says to only attach the hooks to straps, never directly onto more metal. Do you have any suggestions for securing a strong-enough strap connection instead of the metal eye lags? Thanks!

[@stormysackett2266]

You could do grooves for straps where the hooks would go

[@CMDRkarstenvader]

Just replace the carabiner clips with better ones that'll work with metal hooks. It'll be way cheaper and less fiddling with the design.

[@madisondoyle7656]

Does anyone know the full length of this when assembled?

[@Woodbrew]

132" :)

[@t.luba85]

Hello my mother in law has been wanting a Hammock for years but she doesn't have many trees in her yard! So I've been searching for different ideas and came across your video and it's seems perfect but I've got a questions! Would this stand be compatible with an extra large Hammock? Also do you have any updated tips and or ideas? Thank you

[@Woodbrew]

Yes! We now have an adjustable hammock stand to fit any hammock! Everything you need is here, plans, video, materials: www.woodbrew.tv/blog/diy-hammock-stand-2

[@guamknight6715]

Nice

[@Woodbrew]

Thanks!

[@brianoates2410]

Hey any update on those cut plan? Cannot find them on the blog or here. Thanks!

[@Woodbrew]

Yep! Here’s our new and updated version! www.woodbrew.tv/store/p/adjustable-hammock-stand-plans

[@josearturo1336]

how long were the timber lock screws you used?

[@Woodbrew]

4 1/2" :)

[@leviberry292]

The screws made our wood crack! How can we avoid that (besides pre-drilling, which we had to do after multiple cracked boards)?

[@kevinkrooss3011]

Levi Berry they pre-drilled in the video, didn’t they?

[@Woodbrew]

Yep we pre-drilled!

[@angelakm6753]

Nice vide0 - thanks

[@Woodbrew]

Glad you enjoyed it

I am looking for the directions or the link for them. Would you please place the link here.

[@MattNovosad]

what is the overall length of the stand?

[@rednecktech00]

10ft most likely

[@galtwigphotography363]

What the size of the woods are needed?

[@Woodbrew]

(7) 2 x 4 x 8

[@theodoreragavas9383]

What size hammock does this hold?

[@Woodbrew]

We fit our Eno double nest in this and it is 112", for reference :)

[@williamgutierrez3774]

Is this design for a “universal” size hammock?

[@TerryDengler]

NO, I just finished building mine using pressure-treated lumber - cost about $60. I had the hook hardware and used some 4" deck screws where strength wasn't an issue. Here's the problem, my hammock is way too long for this frame. I need to replace the 8' rails with 10' or take the vertical posts up to about 5 1/2' rather than 4'.

[@Woodbrew]

No, measure your hammock first! We used our Eno double nest hammock which is 112".

[@tyrodgers6170]

Will this work for most hammocks? Worried about the length of mine

[@Woodbrew]

Hi! We actually have an updated plan that’s adjustable! www.woodbrew.tv/store/p/adjustable-hammock-stand-plans

[@ronandoherty6335]

Wonder would single 2x4 be strong enough

[@gregelliott4668]

No, I thought the same. Very unstable with a single 2x4 upper.

[@Woodbrew]

I would definitely double up

[@monikaduncan7659]

How much weight will this support?

[@Woodbrew]

Not exactly sure on an exact weight, but a full grown adult can enjoy this :)

[@kelliemartinez905]

Hopefully Dylan's big ol butt will learn to not use the battery pack of a power tool as a hammer!!!! LOL :-)

[@CesarHernandez-gn4sy]

Looks like I'll be busy tomorrow making mine..thanks for tips really simple but very sturdy awsome job guys

Nice video. Now how would I add something fir the tarp fir shade and exciting rainstorms? Please advise and thanks eh.

[@terrellramrattan7033]

Love it!

[@ilyaivanov1745]

This rack for a hammock looks great!

[@juancalder3081]

If the hammock breaks you will break your back too with that base

[@Woodbrew]

Isn't that the case with most hammocks🤔

[@jaybabcock4557]

I built mine out of treated wood, and used a 4x4 for the base and bolts to hold it together.

[@jbm1147]

I used this video to build a stand. I changed the support lengths to suit a lower hang height, and doubled the fixing count. But it is solid as rock. Really helpful video.

[@lmbk88]

This stand will only work for 9ft hammocks. I should have checked measurement before hand. I have a 10ft hammock and an 11ft hammock. The 10ft barely fits without my butt touching the bottom frame. There are also several free plans version via KZbin plus free plans from Bob Vila. Somewhat disappointed with this frame. The size of the hammock should be called out in the notes for people in case others need to make changes to lengths.

[@Woodbrew]

Many people extend the bottom board in order to make the stand longer. What would make the experience better for you? We've had 100s of happy customers, but we are always looking to improve:)

[@hopefulwanderer6499]

Hey guys...we have just finished the stand following your plan and instructions and it's working perfectly. Love it! 😍 Thanks a lot. Take care. K.

[@Woodbrew]

Yay!! So happy to hear!!

[@oranlupton3696]

thank you so much we’ve just built two and they work perfectly :)

[@Woodbrew]

Yay! That's awesome!!

[@queennerdy6140]

Plan link is not working

[@daryl4225]

This worked great! Thanks so much! I built it in 2 hours.

[@Woodbrew]

That's awesome!

[@myrouterwentoffline3288]

The frame is nice and sturdy, but you went cheap on the hammock itself and it cocoons you. You need boards, at the head and foot to keep it open.

[@Woodbrew]

We love our eno! We take it on all our trips, so we need to be packable 😊 And plus when it's windy outside you can just hide away in it ✌🏼

[@leeforex8441]

I believe they call the things that keep the hammocks open "spread bars."

[@tuvaaq]

They do but this type of travel hammock is designed not to use spreader bars. I have one similar with built in webbing to strap around trees and a split in the material so you can either sleep inside it or slip in a roll mat for added comfort.

[@drchilapastrosodrlasmacas438]

No. That hammock with bars at the ends is a stupid design flaw first made by Christofer Columbus. What they REALLY need, is a ridge-line of a ppc 550 rope.

[@chriscoop]

Can you tell me how far it is between the two eye bolts? Are you still selling the plans?

[@oliverdelica2289]

Have you tried making 2 seperate projects together?

[@nickhdeep6leatherworks338]

Bad ass. Thanks going to make one for my wife.

[@takeyoshix]

10$ for the plans, are you craizeeeeee? DIY plans should be kinda "open source" and totally free.

[@nateturton8497]

Not if you're a young couple, working your weekends and stuff to make a buck or two. If you're not savvy enough to figure out plans on your own for a video, $10 is a deal. Keep your yap shut, pal.

[@takeyoshix]

Language pal! I see... another one of those information freedom haters. Weak response tho, pal. With 10 usd a plan sold online (they were able to attract a lot of buyers no doubt) I'm sure they have already accumulated quite some coin, no need to make them look pitiful with "a buck or two" :-)

[@Woodbrew]

People buy plans because the research, cut lists, and material lists are already made and done for you. And also plans are a great way for beginners to learn and understand how to build things :)

[@rachelklan]

Sounds very fair to me

[@apchar]

this isnt a video so much as an advertisement to sell the plans.

[@Woodbrew]

Did it work? Lol JK we actually only made plans once people asked for them:)

[@drchilapastrosodrlasmacas438]

Ad a ridgeline, so you avoid the mistakr of a stiff neck. Nice stand :D

[@FfrrostMonkey]

I built this yesterday. It was really easy to put together (although mine is nowhere near as nice looking). It took longer for Amazon to get me the hammock itself. Thank you!

[@Woodbrew]

Wow! That's awesome:)

[@billyboy9746]

1:34 Ha ha ha ha Great project!

[@timothyriegle1984]

Yeah, this is a lie. The screws alone cost $35-40, the plan's are $10, and the wood was $30. After building , it was TOO SMALL to hold my rope hammock!

[@jasonkloos6348]

Why would you buy plans when there's literally thousands of free ones just by googling it? And $40 for 12 screws?

[@Woodbrew]

Hi Timothy! Prices vary from place to place depending on lumber selection. The screws are expensive to buy in a whole box, but must local hardware stores has them available to buy in singles. I’m sorry your hammock didn’t work! Please refer to the length section to insure your hammock fits. If it doesn’t you can always lengthen the bottom boards. Please email us with any future questions.

[@timothyriegle1984]

@@jasonkloos6348 who says i actually paid for the plans? And yes, structural screws are insanely priced, but sturdy.

[@jasonkloos6348]

@@timothyriegle1984 pretty sure neither of us did. I just pointed out there was no need to buy them. And you can get 3/8" stainless screws or lag bolts that are more than sufficient for this build for about $1 each at Home Depot or Lowe's. So really no need to spend more than $12 for hardware.

[@terrybritton8613]

In Owasso here. Will be building one today with my son. If it goes well, we will make another one.

[@kortlinmason741]

Well? How’d it go?

[@BAHRAMCR]

nice design, next let's make it portable.

[@ronniethepilot]

Wow charging for plans really. Anna white is famous for her work and posts all of her plans for FREE

[@pmlonline]

Wow that's a bit of an overkill lol. Even a single 2x2 would easily hold hundreds of pounds so long as they don't jump on it.

[@gregelliott4668]

Tried one 2x4 and it is very unstable. The overkill is just right.

[@Jcasta8]

This costs 200 in 2021

[@ronrico2620]

It's too tight for a 9'4" hammock they lay looks terrible and that would make it too long for a larger hammock. No thanks

[@joseangelcastellanos7474]

Grandioso, pero mal enfocado teniendo ese jardin pueden enterrar dos postes y colgar a hamaca de ellos, tambien pueden aprobechar el arbol

[@heathershores9131]

The price seems too low. Unrealistic.

[@Woodbrew]

$25 in wood and you got yourself a new hammock stand :)

[@heathershores9131]

@@Woodbrew Wouldn't you also include other materials? I don't people mind the price as long as it is realistic.

[@miller12z]

ebeg scumbags...

[@humbertogarcia7317]

The built is perfect without using treated wood, just protected with a stain and exterior finish. Treated lumber should never be used for furniture, too many carcinogens.

Awesome! Glad it worked well for you:) Couldn't agree more!
