That's great Miguel!
Weight:
One tripod built to Happy's plans using untreated pine 2X2s and a S hook weights 7.6 lbs. - two tripods of untreated pine 2X2s = 15.2 lbs. plus the weight of the ridge pole.
Treated wood would weigh more.
P.S. My ridge pole is a maple branch, so I can't help with a total weight.
Has anyone tried two 6 foot 2x2s or dowels ridge pole with a 6 foot pvc joiner in the middle? Would that be lighter or not strong enough?
Nope but I have successfully done it with bamboo..GeoTrek Bamboo Hammock Stand
