Been a while since I've looked at this thread.
I do not need the "keeper" lines on the legs.
I followed the directions here: https://www.hammockforums.net/forum/...l=1#post809234 The pictures are no longer there. All the pieces come together at the top with the angles and they can not spread any further.
I think what you may be seeing as a crack is a discoloration in the wood.
First time using the stand, my damage came from a squirrel...
