    Help with portable hammock stand for heavy hanger

    I know I've seen a few posts with instructions for a DIY portable hammock stand built with 2x4s for heavy guys, but I can't seem to find any now. I'm 6'2" and about 285-295# and don't really trust the single 2x4 stands. Anyone have the plans for a more robust stand? My search-fu is weak tonight.

    Thanks neighbor! I don't know why I didn't find those threads earlier. I kept finding the single 2x4 ones. I think I'm going to Home Depot in the morning!

    I built one of the ones that has two 2 x 4 uprights and it work perfectly and I weigh 280. Just hung in it all weekend and it no problems at all.

    I ended up building one based on jjthedog's plans. It works great and I'm not worried about being dropped.
