    Show us your backyard/test lab

    I have been intrigued to see some beautiful--and not so--backyard sites in which folks test their gear. My own place is a patio just outside the back door; I'll post a pic in a bit, though it's pretty unremarkable.

    If your in-town gear lab seems interesting to you, share it with us. Is it particularly pretty, ugly, peculiar or bizarre?

    Mine is two pier pilings (think telephone poles) and a Pecan Tree.

    I can hang up to 3 hammocks at one time.

    Just as you turn into my driveway is the perfect little test area. Wishing I was out there now testing to be honest.

    My wife was just testing out a new hammock I made for her last night in our 3 season sunroom.
