Extending the Eno Nomad hammock stand

[Karla "with a k"]

Ok. So 1 extension (chameleon) = bueno. 2 extensions (Banyon) = no bueno (the top bar starts to buckle) Attachment 188462

Approximate weight it can handle?

Has anyone extended the quad-pods? Those legs are really short!

Just got this stand. It is a solid build and it seems to work great if your hammock is the right length. My favorite hammock is too long to get a good hang. If Eno sold an extension to the bar that hangs between the two quadripods (or whatever you call them) i would buy one from them and that would solve the problem. They do not thus I am thinking about making my own. I'll need some bungee which is easy to find, but I will need to find the proper tent style (preferably lightweight as that used in this stand) piping in the right diameter. Thus my question. Does anyone know of a source(s) where I might be able to get a 1.5 to 2 ft extension (with male and female ends) to add to the utility of the eno nomad stand. thanks for any suggestions.

This is a late reply, but I was looking for other information and stumbled on this.
Last i checked less than a year ago, you could buy a replacement ridge pole consisiting of all the segments, directly from ENO for around $50. Ask about replacement parts.

Has anyone considered using a fence top rail like the turtledog stands? I saw one of these and forgot I had a nomad from before I got into warbonnet hammocks. I have a tensa4 but something freestanding would be great in some situations.
