My tarp is a 3x3 Dd superlight, but also have a superfly, so I’m guessing 4m will be best. Plus tbh, at 3.5m with the ridge pole, i just couldn’t get the right angle with my hammock. Iv also learned...

Cheers mate, and your absolutely right about the bolts!! Total rookie error!! It wasn’t until it failed I realised I had not cut them down!!
Any reason why I can’t get the wood from my local...

Well this happened, bent the ridge pole, landed on my butt lol!!
Wife was crying with laughter!! Lol!!
I clipped the crabs directly to the Amstel loops coming from the tripods.
So now I need to...

Nice set up buddy!!

Tbh I was thinking about using 6mm clevis pins and R clips so that there is still movement like in the photo
Would it work ok? I just have no idea how tight to tie it lol!...

Thanks for that. Makes a lot of sense!!
Like I said earlier I thought the idea was to put compressive forces on the ridge pole.
I like the idea of doing away with the ridge pole completely!! That...

That would be absolutely awesome!!! It would be a great help for idiots like me who are waaaay to lazy to read the whole thread lol!! Or who just get lost within the thread!!
Your right about the 4...

Ok thanks mate [emoji106]

Yeah I'm just reading the thread through again, I thought the ridge pole was there so it can compress and take the weight of hammock and my big behind in it.
I have obviously read wrong, tomorrow...

I'm guessing that's a Polite way of saying, 'save your money fat boy' lol

This is what I'm using as my ridgepole for my turtle dog stand, but it keeps bowing upwards under load.
If it's doing it for that ridge pole, is it worth risking the tensa stand?
What do you think...

Did a bit more tonight as I ordered in some ‘u’ bolts and carabiners.
But still having problems.

Also I replaced my 20mm ridge pole for a 25mm one, cut it in half and put a length of the 20mm...

Thanks gadget.
Is that metal conduit you've used there mate?

Quick question for you buddy, I am a gentleman of the larger variety too lol.

I get ya, I’m using a superfly, have absolutely no idea lol!!
But my other light weight tarp is a 3m x 3m which is 10ft.
So what size is recommended please?


Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Quick question chaps, and I’m sure it’s all over the other turtle dog thread, but how does everyone attach there tarps to the stand?
And for an 11 foot hammock, is a 12ft ridge pole ok?
Cheers

Do you have any pics of your conduit stand please?

Great work buddy!!
Quick question, how are you attaching your hammock to the turtle dog stand so you can get some adjustments to allow for the correct hanging angle?

Cheers
