I have just browsed every page in the thread.
With the help of jeff-oh and latherdome I have decided to go the tensahedron route to potentially replace my turtle dog setup.

This...

Do you have any input as to lengths of top rail to use? I haven't fully committed to it but I think I am going the fence rail route. I figure my plan today is to scour the forums for as many detailed...

At the very least that might make it more sturdy as the entire thing won't likely come down. Plus the top rail mod looks like it is likely mounted/hanging better than my S hook. Definitely something...

It took me two days to get through this thread but I did it! I was looking into following Alamosa's design, but a trip to Lowe's last night scared me away because of the $$$. I was closing in on $100...

Which part is the tensioner. The length from the stake...

Good Afternoon,
I am trying to price out the cost effectiveness of building a portable hammock stand vs buying something like the handy hammock(or heavier store bought stands).

I will be...

Thanks alot!

By no means was I trying to rush you. I was certain that you had not looked that the PM yet. Replies in the thread are just fine. :shades:

What I meant by adjusting the gap, is...

Hello all,
Firstly, I sent this as a PM as well Alamosa. I'm sure you're busy and I didn't want to take away too much of your time. Maybe some others can chime in to assist :)...
