Another variation on the conduit-based hammock stand

[semininja]

After seeing this thread, I took a look around the website that supplied those fittings and found these fittings (low-peak 3-way shed roof corner) for 1-inch EMT conduit. They have a leg angle of about 78 degrees, which is a bit wider than most stands, but I figured I'd give them a shot. I bought two corners and a straight splice/coupler, gathered up some sections of conduit, and put together a stand. I can't convince BBCode to resize the images, so I can't include them inline without taking up tons of space; instead, I'll link to the imgur album that goes into detail and attach the main image here.

Here's the album link.

Looks great.
If you put a short piece of 3/4 emt inside the 1" at the coupling it will greatly improve the rigidity of your ridge pole.

I actually have found that the 3/4 EMT doesn't fit very closely inside the 1" size, but the coupling I've got is pretty rigid as is.

Fixed your edit for you semininja. This is very cool thank you for sharing your idea and conduit find.

It's been a year, how's it hanging? Still like the design? What's worn out on it? What would you do differently?
