Hi, Not sure if this will help, but if I were in your position, I'd:
1. Make the poles higher than 6 ft so that you can position hammock/tarp together and have plenty of room for height adjustment
2. My want to fill metal poles with concrete for vertical strength - I've done that with basketball goals and it works well.
3. Space the poles at least 12 feet apart so you have some lateral adjustability.
4. OR you can read about some of the hammock stands here and go with that - probably less overall work I guess.

Hope this helps...

Gwynedd, huh? Didn't you guys get overrun a few hundred years ago?

I would imagine a 4x4 wood post would do just as well as metal.
