    Thank you all for the advice. Turtle Lady looks like a distinct possibility.

    The Stand has to be free-standing, not staked down.

    Y'all are a wealth of information!

    Keep Calm and Hammock On!

    I think even at my advanced age that I could make one of these. ;-)

    Has anyone tried a system like this? Essentially 2 large wood dowels with amsteel (instead of his cables) tensioning them up. getting the anchors right i assume would be the trick...

    What do you think about J Falk's idea of dowel & sleeve?

    http://m.youtube.com/watch?v=paJipIw5E_c

    Would this work with 3 dowels lashed together at each end ... And a Top Bar made of 3 pieces of fence-top-bar with similar thick-walled sleeves at the two "joints" on the top bar to make the kit fit inside a trunk and to make the top bar 12-14 feet long.

    The legs would need hobbles and I'd screw metal "cups" to 8x8 inch water-treated wood to make the stand stable on beach sand.

    So cool to know that Byer of Maine reads this Forum! You guys Rock!

    Answer me this, I need to attach a tarp over the entire Hammock Stand ... Does the Ceara "flex" with body weight added to the hammock? I have a HH Hex Tarp to put over my Backpacker Asym Zip. I'm trying to figure a way to hang the big Tarp.

    One other HUGH Question -- How Portable is the Ceara?


    When one cannot use trees, Hammocking becomes creative.

    Thanks again,
    Coosa

    Sorry for the late reply Coosa. For some reason I didn't get the alert that you replied to this thread. Maybe I need to change my settings somewhere. Anyway, yes the stand will flex, probably 3-5 inches. The stand is pretty portable, it weighs 44lbs. When we take it to a show and lose the packaging we always wrap it in shrink wrap. you can get little rolls and just do the ends to help hold it all together.

    Thank you. The flexing would cause the tarp to sag ... But might be a good choice for putting a hammock on my screened porch. I may buy one at Christmas & let Santa Claus give it to me.
    Thanks for all your help.
