Handy Hammock - The Ultralight Hammock Stand
Hi,
I thought I would share this photo to demonstrate just how light our portable hammock stand it. This is my daughter Lily aged two carrying one! :)

The packed-down size is bout 30 inches by 4 inches and weighs 54 ounces including a lightweight hammock.
Here's what it looks like once set up:

My brother kindly took this shot of my parents using it on Welsh mountain. My brother was flying his paraglider :)
It can even be set up on sand with the use of double length 24 inch pegs (instead of our normal 12 inch pegs) which we sell especially for sand use.

Full details of the product, videos, pictures, review etc are available at HandyHammock.co.uk and we'll be adding loads more over the coming months. We will shortly be opening our doors to US and Canadian customers (albeit with high shipping charges) and we welcome enquiries from potential re-sellers.
We will be publishing an occasional email newsletter which you can sign up to if you re interested in being notified of offers, product developments, re-sellers in your country ec etc. Nothing over the top, maybe an email every few months.
Thanks!
Jason Andrews
PS The supporting struts are 55 inches when extended. Somebody asked me and I said I'd post it to the forum.

There will be a Group Buy soon... watch the forum over the next couple of days. Just sorting out details.
Well, there goes the Christmas Club money! :rolleyes:
Find a review here at HF, too
I don't think this thread mentions a photo-documented set-up by HF Mod and 'To the Wood's (founder?) and maintainer, Just Jeff.
Some assurance by the OP that the design is engineered for serious use would be appreciated. On the one hand, I'm inclined to trust that even working to get at the price point of 100 quid, there have not been compromises in the materials and engineering. I've previously expressed admiration and interest in the structural design.
On the other hand, I have no ability, from photos and in this (US) land of shopping channels and tele-marketing Ronco and Popeil products, to distinguish this as serious camping design and construction (or even better folding aluminum camping chairs).

I'm in, for one complete set
and 5 hours later I read the actual thread and sent the PM.

Are Canadians eligible for this deal?
Re: Handy Hammock - The Ultralight Hammock Stand
I think I messaged the right guy... But I'm in, I have been following this stand since it first came out, but shipping charges had me turned off... This seems like a sweet deal...

And I can hang in my own yard! I do have two trees, but one is in the front and the other in the back. I have considered getting rid of the house in between.... Priorities ;)
I'll also be able to hang in my local parks, which now outlaw hammocks :(

Thank you for that reminder, AS.
