    Adding Posts to hang from in the backyard

    I figured out that my fenceposts are not quite sturdy enough to support a hammock.

    What is the best, easiest, most cost effective way to hang a hammock in the backyard without any trees to hang from? Preferably something my wife won't complain about.

    I'll have at least two hammocks, for my oldest son and I.

    To fit into the wife won't complain category and has use other than for hanging hammocks, how about a pergola? Just build it to the appropriate size to accommodate 2 hammocks.

    Now that looks like a great idea! Those top posts should supply lots of support, and the Wife would love it!
