Just noticed this on a "deals website" that this stand is on sale for the next 14 or so hours. Thought it may be helpful for anyone looking for one. $95 for stand shipped to your door seems pretty good. I may get one...and you can sell off the hammock for a few bucks if you just want the stand.
But it measures 9 feet so I'm wondering if 10 or 11 foot hammocks would fit on it? Thoughts?

I dont think you can use it with an 11footer, or ten footer, it's not adjustable.
Edit - Ok, maybe a ten footer would fit.

But by my math if the span of the thing is 9 feet (as shown in photo on the page)...
108 inches.
I figure an 10 foot hammock uses a ridgeline that is 83% of the length, so about 10X12*.83 = 99.6 inches.
so that should fit.
I think an 11 footer would not though...by about 2 inches.
The specs say the total length of the included hammock is 130", FWIW.
All those hours exploring the great outdoors made me more resilient and confident
Just my 2 cents worth, I'm fairly new to all of this. The Derek Hansen pipe stand can be made/ put together at a little over $100-120. And is able to hold a longer hammock and a tarp! Home Depot sells the pipe and fittings and will cut for you for a small charge. It also can be broken down and put back together easily in a few minutes once the initial pieces are put together.
I have this set up in my living room from a previous sale on Woot. I'm happy with it, and will occasionally pack it up and take it with me. I haven't tried to fit my Roo or SBP on it.
