Good hammock stand that won't break the bank?

. I also think I need stakes for it (like heavy duty monster stakes). I'm probably going to get these:

I'm still climbing the learning curve on it.

Are you sure you're not just partial to those stakes because they use pencils for size comparison? :-P

Okay. I got off the fence and ordered my monster stakes. Hopefully this will solve my tippy-stand collapsing leg problem for good.

I use a DIY turtle dog stand and use it in the house for test hangs and what have you

I have the NoGround Car Camp stand from tiggzcraftworkz.com - love it so far

For soft-ish ground I use the 12 inch version of "orange screw" anchor - they are amazing.

For hard ground any large stake anchor will work ok.

And for sand I made 24 inch DIY stakes from T-aluminum

Permanent would indeed be nice. But I rent and I highly doubt my landlord would be down with that.

Any ready-to-go setups out there? I'm all about DIY, but I'd rather spend my time on gear rather than a stand...

Made a Turtle Dog Stand a few years back. Had Home Depot cut everything for me. Easy build. Spent more time making a "stuff sack" for poles and tri-pods for easy transportation. Keeps everything together in car and easy to pack up when I leave camp.

I built a spurtle, if you need help finding the thread, post back and I'll find it. I bought a Tato stand on the kickstarter and I love it but the spurtle is totally usable (a little noisy) and straightforward to build. The Spurtle requires some attention (set it up straight and square) but it'll hold you.

No Ground hiking pole?

Another vote for the Turtledog stand from me. Get one made in an hour easy enough.
Two long strap hinges, six 8' 2x2s and a ridgepole of you desired length.

So, these days I find myself in a yard with no trees. I never wanted to go to a stand, but if I'm to do any testing, looks like that's where I'm stuck.

Any recommendations for something workable and not too expensive? I don't need to travel with it, I just need 14' + from eye to eye.

Thanks in advance.

This was about 15 dollars lumber and 5 dollars rope. And you build it the same way you would if you were out 8n the woods where poles are a better option than trees.

This is with an 8 foot Ridge pole, but I've since extended the pole to 12 feet.
This second pic barely shows it, but I just took 8foot poles and bolted them together.
