Replaced everything with 1/4” grade 5 bolts. Not worried about the connection failing now.

I’m still trying to decide on how I want to attach the bottoms of the poles. I’ve got them lashed right now but I’m not sold on that long term.

I got some eight foot 2x2 cedar poles. I was going to use rope to join them, but now I think it will be too floppy. Maybe I could use the rope at the top connection if I had a hinge at the ground. I thought maybe a gate hinge, but I am not sure I could find one small enough to get the fasteners in the 2x2. What have you guys used for the wood versions?

Originally I used rope lashing, which worked well, but didn't allow me to use the full 8 foot length. I switched to D-Ring tie downs. I found a 4 pack for under 5 bucks at my local Menards. I connected the D-Rings with heavy duty quick links.

I see only upside to soft connectors. The soft shackles here could hardly be simpler: https://www.haengemattenforum.de/for...mock#post47406

Got mine Friday

I think it will create a lot of freedom. Sometimes you have a fire ring at point “a.”the 2 hammock trees at point “b”.

The wind changes direction and has now gone from blowing “b” to “a” to now “a” to “b”. Now I can just move my hammock. Also means I can’t get closer to fire for warmth and sleep in my hammock in the desert!

I was concerned about set up and take down time. Once figured out, take down is about 4 minutes!

Jacko1066, send me your email address by private message and I will send new photos later this week when using stand.
I have trouble posting photos to this site. Have made several attempts with photos of the stand but only 4 made it into my gallery
