You can use my Tato stand and then keep it for the following weekend for the trail cleanup... I can get it back from you then.
I’m up at UD tomorrow to play a concert in the afternoon and can meet up with you somewhere either before or after the concert to get it to you....

But considering the time and gas to do that and the cost of the materials to make one, it might be cheaper for you to make one.

Lol, it's the thought that counts, thanks anyway though

$21 and 30 minutes you can build your own tensa stand.

What Daneaustin said. I made a Tensa out of EMT and some connectors, but there are a lot of different options in the non-commercial thread.

Beat me to it. Tensa’s stand is shipping several weeks after deposit currently, but homebrew tensahedrons (tensahedra?) are easy to make, main difference being they don’t pack as small and light as the commercial version. Daneaustin3’s is a cost-effectiveness benchmark: https://www.hammockforums.net/forum/...n-Stand/page27 . A fellow named Harlan posted concise plans in a closed Facebook group for a bigger sturdier one, with simply lashed connections:
