Nice.3/4" emt conduit with 220lbs in it. I used steel cable to hold the conduit together.
Parts:
4x 3/4 conduit cut to 95" (fits in my 8' bed truck) $4.25 ea
4x 1' $.36 per foot
4x cable clamps $.63 ea.
Total cost $21

How long is the hammock?
(Stopped lurking alert)
The ridgeline for the tarp...
it cannot be firmly attached to the stand, correct? So that the stand can move?
Is a tarp ridgeline attached separately?
I saw raftriggers (sp?) tarp was sort of floppy. Is that why?
I also like this thread.
May be a dumb comment, but, the cable does not have to be a loop, right?
It could be cable clamped on the outsides of the two conduits? A single line rather than a circle.
Or is the loop a necessary connection point for the Hammock? Pulling the conduits together.

I collect vintage camp stoves.
I roast coffee at home.
My hammocks are roughly 11'
I haven't hung a tarp on them yet. My plan is to use a fiberglass pole (think driveway marker) so that I can put some tension on the crl.
The steel cables don't have to look but I use it to connect my carabiners.
I wouldn't use a clamp on each side only because the clamps don't hold well with just one line through them.

Amsteel soft shackle or functional equivalent not liable to be sawn through by hole edges. Convenient to open/close for e.g. fixed loop in hammock end, RL, tarp, tether, or base strap.
Raftingtiggers tarp was floppy because I didn't bother to tie out the apex ends. I was lazy and wanted to go to bed, it was dark. I do plan on using the other fiberglass pole that came with the tarp shelter as a ridgeline pole. Pics of that soon. Maybe even today.
The other method is to anchor the tarp from apex to apex with a bungee on one end. That will work with longer support poles or a shorter tarp (mine are all 12' long). The fiberglass poles gave more room, so that was my choice for that night. The fewer ties to the ground the better with this stand.

Thanks for the answers. Still watching with great interest.

...and gals...
Simple floppy tarp fix. Since my crl is 25 or 30ft long I ran it through the ends and tied it back onto itself with loop of shock cord.
