Has anyone used on of these?
Would they work with a Warbonnett

Normally, stands made for hammocks with spreader bars aren't high enough for gathered end hammocks, but that's a big hammock and the pic makes it look like it just might work.
Based on the pic, it looks about the same size as the Vario, by the same company. I've hung my BB on the Vario before...but that's the closest experience I have to this stand.

IMPOSSIBLE JUST TAKES LONGER
Really like the look of this stand with the bamboo laminate. Anyone ever give it a go? I would think it would have almost no flex compared to the Vario, which is reported to flex quite a bit.

The key to this stand is the fittings, which could be made at a specified angle, so as to accommodate both the geometry and the material you prefer.
For instance, you could have these fittings fabricated to use 7' round aluminum poles at an angle so that their tops end up 13' apart, and square wooden feet.

Dan--the flex of teh Vario is part of the mechanical function of the stand (see dedicated Vario stand thread if you want more explanation). German engineered, the flex is not from poor materials, it's intended to flex that way.
I agree with Just Jeff, the Vario takes my WBBB well, but that's as close as I've come to the bamboo stand.
I ordered a similar one in cypress wood (http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00...ef=oss_product). I plan to fabricate an additional wood version that could easily be changed out to both lengthen and heighten the stand to accommodate my outdoor rig. I hope I won't have to strengthen the metal braces, but I may. If I do, I'll have my brother (the town blacksmith) make new ones at the same angles that are mo'beef-ee-er.

Hi Dan. No the Vario keeps my butt way off the floow. sandykayak mentioned that her older Vario had a knob on the top of the rail that stuck her and she put a lifevest on it...but no, it'll keep you way off the floor. The flex is something a couple )e/g BillyBob) mentioned as hard to get a ridgeline taut with--but JustJeff and Stoikurt mention a remedy with weighted ridgeline that works absolute wonders...always just the proper tautness.
I considered the larger wooden ones, but balked at the price, weight, portablity and adjustablity as well as annual wood maintenance. But YMMV, and please do post photos if you get one. Interesting.
