I have finally gotten my BB in the air. I purchased some extensions for my backyard stand. The extensions are supposed to be paired with a canopy for providing shade, but works quite well for hanging my hammock high enough off the ground. I will prob use this rig till I build my own TL/TDstand
This stand now is close to 5'9" high and 15' wide and i am able to hang

It was under $60 delivered for just the canopy poles
I had to call them and ask to sell me parts of the canopy kit.
