    Absolutely doable. It might be a little bit loosey goosey, but a few set screws would cure that. Hmm....

    Surprisingly affordable if you know how to weld. Doubling the whoopie back around the upright is a great idea too.

    Great idea OG. I may have to put one of these together

    Well done sir.
    I use almost that same design for My welding curtains.
    Simple, elegant and utilitarian.
    Bravo!

    Hello Old gringo, I was wondering what weight limits you would set for your Hanger and what did you test it to?
    Whether trail or paddle don't you know
    My hammock is the way to go
    There peace and solitude I find
    To ease all troubles from my mind
    Both body and soul revel in delight
    As day surrenders to inky night

    I have no idea what it will hold...I weigh ~250#, and haven't had any problems with it.

    For really heavy folk, it would be easy enough to bump it up to 11 gauge tubing.

    I got a request for more info on this stand a couple of weeks ago, and deleted the pm by mistake. I apologize. Send me another pm, and I'll do better.
