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

    Nice setup! I have a similar setup. I sunk three 6x6's 30" down and secured them with 3 backs of Quikrete on each post. We can hang 3 hammocks from our setup, but having two kids, they're always fighting for who gets the third spot.

    I don't have any better photos than this:


    I got the idea from a local college. All around campus, they have posts set up for hammocks. They have one post in the middle, with four posts outside of that (each hammock would hook the middle post, then to an outer post). They probably have 10 of those setups around campus. This campus is the a largest land mass campus in the world (over 28,000 acres). You'd think students could find two trees for their hammock.

    I think I'll do 6x6 if these dont work out. I'd like to see a big post in the middle then see how many posts can be squeezed in a circle around the center post. Like 30 people in a crcle.
