Back yard setup

I agree with the 6x6's. That's what I used. I think that 12ft apart is a good distance. I went with 15ft because I use a Ridge Runner as well.
ps If you do use 4x4, be safe and have some top rail support like Danimal9.

Yes, just my napping hammock. Spacing is 11' center to center on the 4x4s. Just barely fits my summer tarp that I put up on rare occasions.

That looks so nice though! I would like to do this but would probably get a 2x6x16 to space it out more. And growing some type of vine on that would be pretty cool!

great idea....wonder if setting the 4x's at a slight angle out instead of vertical would be of some use?

Just did this as well.. I had a bunch of white pines in the back end of my property that finally died as a result of Hurricane Sandy years ago... I did 6x6 at 15'

I also agree with the 6x6's, but it is not something so strict, so we can't claim that it is the only option.
