    Top rail for hammock stand?.... 12ft?

    I would like to make either a pipe hammock stand; or a turtle dog stand for indoor hanging. I am using a big guy bridge hammock- needs to be 12 ft or so to accommodate the suspension triangles. What do you guys recommend to use for the top structural member? Im kind of a big guy- 240 lbs. ( 1 inch conduit isnt going to cut it!). I know there several excellent hammock stands for sale out there, but my hammock budget for the year is pretty much bankrupt-so unless there is a government bail out for under financed hammock hangers- im looking for an affordable diy alternative! Thx for the help!

    FYI: If you want to know what type a certain bear is, sneak up behind it and kick it. Then,
    run like crazy and climb up a tree. If the bear climbs the tree and eats you, it's a black
    bear. If the bear just pushes the tree over and eats you, it's a grizzly bear : )


    Do not walk behind me, for I may not lead. Do not walk ahead of me, for I may not follow. Do not walk beside me, either, just leave me alone.
