Looks good! What do you have going on at your joints? Is that cohesive bandage?
Use the VIDEO tags around your links. Either type it out manually or use the Video button and paste your link in the prompt.

That does up the cost another 45$ and, assuming if we're going to go that route, we've probably added the other fancy stuff, you're looking at close to 200$. For 100$ more you can just get a "real"...
I appreciate your help and the information. One of the major reasons I wanted to make this post, and maybe I'm just too new here, but I really struggled to find a proper "guide" to building one of...
I had seen your and others thoughts regarding where to best break down the poles. I believe the prevailing logic was anywhere other than the middle. In the case of the simplicity of this method, if...
Yea this certainly isn't light. I've seen some people repurpose old camping chair bags to make carrying it easier but it isn't something I'd want to carry any amount of distance.
The (Mostly) Home Depot Sourced Semi-Portable Top Rail Tensahedron Stand

While learning to make one of these stands on my own, I found a bunch of good ideas out...
I haven't been able to spend more than a couple hours in it yet. The first time I tried I froze (no underquilt). I made a Gemini UQ and tried again. Woke up with my arms asleep and the cats...
Some sort of affliction really kicking my butt so I tried to be productive at home and finally got the thing put together. I've ordered the amsteel but it'll be a bit before it arrives. I had been...
It has been quite comfortable but definitely took some dialing in and a couple of nights of poor sleep.
I'm 6 foot 1 inch, 150 lbs. I own 3 hammocks, a Warbonnet El Dorado, an 11 foot Dream "Darien" HyperD fabric, and an 11 foot Dream "Darien" wide Mtn fabric.
They are all comfortable.
However,...
I used hitch pins to connect the poles in the center ala fred so I don't think they will rotate unless I'm misunderstanding you
I suppose I could lash the bottom and see where they tilt to and...
After a bit a work, I have almost completed my tensa stand! I decided to go with the cut in half flipped top rail and grommets method. I have the holes for one end drilled out and grommets are in...
Finished the first blanket last night, turned out pretty good. It was particularly windy last night and with the single layer you can definitely feel the cold along the holes where the seams were...
Sounds like everyone prefers the tensahedron stands to the tri-pods. Thank you for the link to your project Jeff, I'll see if I can source the materials this weekend.
I will probably also make a...
Hello,
With the completion of my monster indoor hammock stand, I'm looking to make something portable to take with me in car camping/"want to hang out at the park and they won't let me use trees"...
That camo mesh looks slick.
I think someone mentions earlier in this thread that this is also a way to get your loft to fluff up.
I'll try this and see. Last night I ended up hanging the foot end from one of the bolt at the top of the stand which got rid of the tightness but then of course sleeping with my feet that elevated...
When hanging the Darien's outside I usually do the feet slightly higher, but yea with the El Dorado I do go the foot or so up (picture is the wide Darien.) I played around with height, you can see my...
I found a couple of spots to try, but decided to prioritize an indoor setup first. I'm kinda hoping it will help with some of those health issues. We got hit by a freak winter storm last week so now...
Hello!
I currently own 3 hammocks, a 11 ft Darien, a 11 ft wide Darien, and a 11 ft El Dorado. I have found that, outdoors, the wide Darien is the most comfortable of the bunch, but they were all...
This past weekend I undertook a project motivated by my lack of immediate places to hang. I saw the fence rail stand and the ultimate hang's pipe stand, but wanted something I could source easily...
I see, thank you. I will review the info and hopefully find a spot and report back since my weekend is tomorrow!
Thank you for the suggestions. I would ultimately like to be backpacking, but trying to get some health issues resolved first (back, hips, knees.) In the meantime, just looking for somewhere...
I'm probably not the first person to have this experience, but after doing a ton of research on gear, I dove wallet-first into the hobby (hoping to "buy once, cry once") and have been enjoying...
Promotions was the name of one of many characters from an MMO I play. For whatever reason out of all my possible characters, "Promo" became the name that everyone called me. Its a good a name as any...
Hello fine people of shared interest.
I've recently dipped my toes into the world of hammocks and, no surprise, found these forums to be an excellent resource.
I've already started a mini-fleet...
