Standalone Hammock Stand for WBXLC and WBRR - Any Suggestions?

[Landmark]

I'm trying to find a suitable hammock stand to fit my WBXLC and/or my WBRR (I know these two hammocks hang a bit differently, so if it fits one and not the other, that's fine).

I realize it's possible to build a custom stand with materials from a hardware store or hang it from the walls inside a house, but that's not what I'm looking for. I need a hammock stand that that doesn't require any specialized skills to assemble and will work with one or both of these hammocks.

I saw this one on Amazon and was curious about it's feasibility - but thought I'd get some input from this group first.

Any suggestions?

Tato has a very solid stand in the works. It'll be awhile before it ships, but the camping model can handle the WBRR and The XLC just fine. http://www.tatogear.com/product/the-...stand-camping/

I use the Byer of Maine Ciera www.byerofmaine.com/ceara-hammock-stand.html that looks similar for both my RR and XLC. It works perfect. It breaks down to very portable pieces for storage or vehicle transport. Too heavy for hiking. (A 3 lb Handy Hammock stand can work for that.) I need to shorten the lines a bit on the RR to get enough ground clearance for an UQ. I weigh 190 lbs and have calculated the loads on the RR hammoch members to ensure they do not exceed the level at the 250 lb rating. The stand flexes quite a bit but is plenty strong. You need to pitch the hammock a bit flatter and higher since it will settle in to the desired Hangle when you climb aboard.

I have not seen this before. Looks LEGIT. I might have to finally pull the trigger on a hammock stand.

Once they start shipping, I'm sure there will be some good reviews to follow...

I use their currently available stand with inexpensive conduit from HomeDepot for both my Ridgerunner and Blackbird.

You can use four 1 3/8" Open L's from a tarp store and cut chain link fence top rail to any length. You can cut the top rail with a hacksaw. I made one that stands over six feet tall and is fifteen feet long. I spent $20 on the fittings, plus shipping, and utilized some old top rail I had from an old fence.

Be careful. I bought a stand specifically sold by Trek Light for their hammocks, but I can't get any angle of hang without my butt dragging on the floor. I'm 6'2'. Don't know if that's the problem. I'm seriously eyeballing what Tato is doing.
