Hi I'm new to hanging and the sight....
Bout hammocks for the boy and I for winter scout camp..I will never go back to the ground....
we are in Nigeria (BSA troop 803) and our next camp out won't have many trees That's why I need a set of TD stands.
But I don't have a lowes or Home Depot and chain link is all made from steel pipe.
I have been reading the pages for 2 days now and have only gotten to 60 something out of 192+.
So
1. Has anyone built one of these using square tubing to make it more portable?
2. Has anyone used sections of wood 2x2 and square tubing sleeves for the ridge pole?
3. Matching the 2x2 with the ID of tubbing wont be an issue for me as all wood is custom milled mahogony here.
4. Any Suggestions on the length of each aluminum tubbing sleeve- I was thinking 12 inches so that I have 6 inches of each section of leg sleeved??
I was looking at a bipod setup commercially available where they do this for the legs(using a "custom" wedge cut for the wood joint inside the tube.
I would be greatfull if someone can point me to a post of anyone who has tried this....I intend to read all 190+ pages but I wanted to start construction sooner then 2015
Great work to all of you...I'm now sure I can stay off the ground no matter
where we camp.
Best Regards,
Captain Doug
