After reading an extensive amount about backyards stands, I noticed that the TurtleDog stand greatly resembles a swing set.
A few people talked about how you have to be careful with the TurtleDog stand. I want a stand that is very robust that I don't have to worry about toppling over and also will look good in the backyard.
The problem I see from hanging from a normal swingset is that the top rail may be too high.
I found these swing set brackets that would easily allow you to build a hammock stand to practically any height by adjusting the leg length.

It would look like this without the swings of course.
Swing Set
Seems like a cheap easy way to build a stand where you don't have to worry about the engineering or safety.
Two carriage bolts can easily be added to the bottom ends of the top plank which will make it just like a TurtleDog stands compression tube.
What do you think?
