Has anyone tried using these thread connectors?

hppyfngy - Widened my tripods to get a 4 foot spread. It was very easy mod. Think it only lost about an inch of height. I like it.

Hey LB,

Just to make sure, that fabric is 60" wide, right? Did you own an HH? If so, wanted to compare notes. I have the Explorer, like it a lot, but I think it's a little short for me. I'm 6'2"....

RR- Knew I couldn't have been the first to think of this. Nice! And I remember seeing that post now when reading through thread the first time. The strap is placed inside tripod like you show, that...

old4hats - Doing a pre-hang walk around is a pretty good SOP idea.

Thanks!

Thought about this after the first set-up when hammock was too low, wife lost balance and tripods walked. Of course that was due to improper hammock hang..

I can't be the first to think of this so just let this serve as a bump or pictorial record of someone else's idea....

Attached small eye-screws near top of tripod, then bound tripod top with...

Just to compare notes, here's the Stanley 4" hinge I used..

:laugh: Nice!!

I'm glad this is coming together, was so close to shelving it for the moment. Just needed to step away and think a bit, and lo-tech it a little. Got too caught up in hardware and...

Ok, good to know. That means my HH ridgeline will be just below and parallel to the pole, pulled as tight as can be. If I would have done that today, my hammock would be nearer the 18" you mentioned....

NWOHanger - Hammock is 1' off ground in pic. It prolly would be higher if I tied it tighter. When you set up your HH do you start with the hammock mostly in horizontal position? Or with a little...

Roadrunnr72 - you may already know this... found two different 4" hinges at Lowes, one was a "regular" hinge (I didn't get that one) and the other was a "heavy" which had thicker plates than the...

This is a great stand, very innovative and has a lot of advantages like portability and ease of construction.

But I'm having problems getting it to work right with an HH Explorer (bottom opening)....

Mind if we hang around with y'all?

Thanks for the quick reply JJ.

My big question is does the spreader bar hammocks exert more force on uprights than the "gathered end" (single point) ones. Appreciate you opening your thread to...

Would this work for a hammock with a spreader bar? I have an HH and usually set up between two trees in the back yard. Been looking at this type of stand and will build one soon, but wanted to know...
