I was actually hoping just to buy a pre-made one. How much was your total cost to make yours?

Does it seem heavy duty? What hammock do you use with it?

[KingsFord]

Yes it is sturdy. I use a traveler mostly. Have recently tried the warbonnet too. Seems fine with both. I think some folks have extended these stands to get a better hang angle.

I use it indoors in a apartment.
