    Extending metal hammock frame

    Hey guys, I have had a metal hammock stand for years that had a cotton weave hammock on it. Now that I have a good hammock setup I want to utilize it for home hammocking. The frame is about 4' tall and roughly 12 ft apart when hammock/tarp is tightened. With my ENO DN even with a longer RL I am about an inch off the ground.

    The DIY part of This is I want to extend the posts so that it makes it taller and wider at the same time, but I don't know the best type of metal tubing to use or where s good place to get it. The current piping has interior diameter of 1.5" and an exterior diameter of roughly 1.7".

    Thanks in advance guys,

    -Sam

    I will watch this with interest, as I have the same project to finish....
    I've gone to find myself. If I get back before I return, make sure I stay here.


    When I see lovers' names carved into a tree, I don't think it's cute. I think it's strange how so many people take knives on a date.
