Looking at your photo of your setup at the "hangoree", either add some wider feet to your staves/legs of your frame, (a piece of plywood, 3-4 inches square or round), with a centering hole for your stave to rest in.
Or, lower your spreader piece, to within two inches of the ground, that way when your weight makes it sink, the force will be spread out the entire length of the lower horizontal stave.
You can adjust your height for varying terrain by adjusting your spread,( I'm assuming here?) Also, I'm wondering if you drilled holes for pins/bolts, you wouldn't need so much lashing. Nice set up by the way, thanks for sharing
your experience. I know lashing is fun and to show the boys the use of knots, but for ease of set-up, pins or bolts would be easier, IMO.
