Turtle Stand carrying capacity????

Just don't swing in it

80 lbs swinging brings it down, ask my friends kid, I couldn't get the words out of my mouth fast enough after he sat down about not swinging...

Other than that I have had 250+ lbs in it with no trouble...

Thanks Brute,

I want the stand for myself, and I'm a fairly cautious hanger...so NO swinging!

I woke him up the next morning.

Thanks for your post! I'm looking forward to building my own stand...much better than what I'm doing now!
