Well this weekend is it! I'm going to sink a 6x6, x 12ft pressure treated post about 16' from a pine tree in my back yard so I can hang in my own yard. I have trees (a few) but none close enough together to hang. I don't get out as much as I'd like which is another story all together, so I decided to set myself up in my back yard.
A 12' will let me bury 4' in the hole with quickcrete and dirt, leaving 8 feet to hang my hammock and tarp. Instead of the doghouse, I'll sleep in my hammock!
I put in the "one dig" call in Missouri to get the utilities marked and bought a post hole digger. The post will cost me about $32. Seems silly to be excited about it but I am; time to enjoy my backyard more and my love of hammocking. I'm going to sand off or round off the edges on the post and I may even try to plant some ivy or something to grow up it.
A man's gotta do what a man's gotta do!!
