Cheap DIY portable hammock stand

[VaderStrom]

More than likely the connection points on the stand are too low so even if the length works, the sag of the hammock will have you laying on the ground.

I agree that you'd need to get the connection point a bit higher if you wanted to use a longer hammock. you could swap the number of supports and tie outs so you have less staking to do.

Which solution are you referring to? The one I included a link to or the pre-made aluminum one?

Worth considering a ridge pole, eliminates the issue of staking into sand
