I am considering building my own treeless backyard hanging structure in my yard. I have seen some great stand ideas here on HF.

I understand that depending on the spread between anchor point the height must change to achieve the desired ~30 deg angle.

Is there and ideal height off the ground for the WBBB?
Assuming yes what is the related ideal spread?


I just ordered a BB, so I have no experience hanging yet, I do have a metal hammock stand which has hooks that are 168"(14foot) x 48" (4foot).
I saw Mustardman just posted pics of his bridge hanging from a similar to my metal stand.
he looks to have hooked the suspension loops directly to the stand.
I understand that this may not work with the BB like it did on a bridge.

Does any one have any thoughts or advice for me?
