    The poles are not attached, just slipped into holes in the top bracket and indentations on the bottom board. The hammock is pushed down to the bottom, the pole pushed up and the hammock pushed off the end of the pole. This is after the loops are tied off in groups that will be used to put top and bottom wooden stretchers on most of the hammocks. I'm thinking I'll leave the wooden supports off mine, but I'll wait till I'm almost finished to decide that.

    Thanks, Shadowmoss, I see how the poles work now -- it's the old invisible hole in the top plate trick! Yeah, you're on the horns of the spreader bar dilemma. For me it's no issue: spreaders usually make a hammock less stable so I'd forego them (except of course for a bridge hammock) unless you have a way to bend them up into an arc -- that would be one cool designer hammock, hand-made by YOU!
