After contemplating the DIY project of a bamboo/PVC stand, I decided to utilize what my household already had available... My daughter's swing set! Below are 3 pics. One is the whole kit n kaboodle (ENO SN w/ whoopies, PRO FLY, and New River KAQ). Only a 12 foot top rail, thus not as long of a spread as id like, but I still get a flat hang;-). The other 2 pics are what I added to the swing set in order to take the Force Load. Explanation later. Gotta help the wife...
wow thats cool:cool:neoQuote:

The little eye hook is just for my tarp ridgeline:D
Excellent repurposing, and it looks classy too. ;)
"Honey, did you mow the grass?" "Nope! built a hammock stand."
Thats a great setup....no abstract lawn orniments to explain to the neighbors.
