I finally installed my hammock test area in my treeless yard.
2 12' 6x6 pressure treated
2 20' 2x6 pressure treated
6 bags of sika post foam
4 10"x1/2" carriage bolts
10 pieces of 2x6 spacers for between the 2x6 spans
1 rental of a 10 inch 2 man auger
_______
Posts are placed 16'.3" apart.(that's how they landed)
4' in the ground with 3 bags of foam each hole.
8 foot out of the ground tied in with 2 2x3 across the top with inner supports.
It seems very sturdy. I just need to do some touch-up work tomorrow.

The bags of Sika post foam is interesting. But a word of caution it's not designed for human support. I spoke to a friend of mine who does testing for building materials and he mentioned to me that the reason why I Sika does not label it for human support is because it will cost that millions of dollars to do testing. But it's not publicized but it's very common and the deck building industry.

Thank you to my friends Mark And Hank for actually taking this on! I actually did pretty good helping them . I could not fully participate due to my hip.
