Backyard hang

[HamMike]

Hey Mike,
I think there is a wee lassie in your hammock brother!

Yeah some kid keeps hangin around my house wantin fed and stuff. I caught her sleepin in that other room in our house. She's always wantin clothes and stuff.

Great set-up HamMike! Nice space with lots of flexibility. You always want to dig below the Frost line (38-48") to prevent movement of the post. Especially important with the lateral forces of a 6ft post. I will use gravel next time too to prevent rot even though I use treated wood.

I have a pair set up in my yard. After seeing your set up I may just have to add a third and complete the triangle.

I was just talking about doing this very thing in my backyard....course, then my wife pointed out we already have two posts thanks to the covered back porch, so we only need one free-standing one sunk about 15-16 feet straight out from the middle of the porch -- voila! Instant triangle

That's awesome! If I even HINTED at putting up big posts in my backyard for hammocking, I would get "the LOOK"

Looks like a good setup

That's cool. I am glad I live out in the country where half my land has trees and I have a lot of places to hang.

Mike,
if that is her hammock, and the other one is your wife's hammock, then shouldn't there be another pink hammock for you to use?

Everybody knows that when you have a bald head and a cool beard that you must have a pink hammock.
