Using two (felt more stable, and when I was out of the hammock, my dogs managed to make the stand fall by brushing the single guyline).
I’ll play with it more when I get home tonight.

Keep the 2 guylines if you want, but loosen the head one up so it is safety only. Your ridgeline should behave then, and the forces will self balance.Originally Posted by Throkda
Come check out the Tensa4 tensahedron stand and other hammock stands at http://www.TensaOutdoor.com and [email protected]
What is the current wait time if an order is placed today?
Have these been tested with bridge hammocks, Towns End Happy Medium in particular?

As of today, Sunday 29 April 2018, we're quoting 60 days out. All deliveries to date have been early, but we're trying to not disappoint. I qualify the date so hard here because I've learned the hard way that once you say something on the internet, it tends to stick for years. "Oh, Tensa stuff takes months to get, I hear." -- Somebody in 2020. Our goal is to get to zero wait. Stuff happens.
Only bridge hammock I know to have been tested with Tensa4 is the Warbonnet RR, which seems to work pretty well. You may be able to take a guess about the Happy Medium based on degree of similarity to RR as far as length, suspension requirements go.Have these been tested with bridge hammocks, Towns End Happy Medium in particular?

Order placed.
I've set up my stand several times now and it has allowed me to hang indoors at my own house (anchored to a couch that may or may not have spontaneously lifted off of the ground when I had the head end tilted a little too far), indoors at my in-laws (anchored to a hefty fireplace), outdoors with a large play set as the anchor, and also outdoors with the included screw anchor. I love this thing! This stand has the best combination of compactness, portability, and low weight in the hammock stand market BY A MILE! It’s not the cheapest hammocking accessory, but, in my opinion, it’s easily the best stand out there.

Ok, I have had my stand for quite some time and just yesterday got to use it. I set it up in a hotel room so there was not a lot of space. It worked but my head was resting on one of the poles and if I moved more to the center the head end started to colapse. Needless to say I made it work.
Tonight I am use it but seems the bottom has to be spread really wide forme not rest my head on a pole and for I don’t have to do gymnastics to get up in to my hammock. My question is am I setting it up right or am I missing something?
I am using a wide chameleon as my hammock and do have a good diagonal lay.

Got photos of it set up? And how tall are you? Typical base spread is 5’ or more. Are you using a head end counterweight?

I am 6’2”, I am not using a head counter weight. I am also heavy at 300.
I would really like to get the bottom to 5 feet but it seems like my hammock ends up way to high and my head is rest on the pole.
