Hi guys hope i put this in the right spot but iv been pokin around a few hammock forums here lately because i just miss my old hammock that broke 2yrs ago. But im a BIG guy.. im 6'2" 350lb so its hard to find a nice hammock ment for large amounts of weight. Now iv recently moved and the only anchor points would be 2 trees 35+ft away (streaches side to side of yard so not doing that) or a tree and a basketball hoop set in concrete (4"wide steel not solid) which stand aprox 24' apart... now iv read if you hang it too far youl have ballance problems, yet they sell straps for 20+ft hangs... now if it was only me in it id be okay looking silly but the hammock i decided on has a rating of over 800lb (score! Lol) and is plenty big for 2. So if i was to hang it and my gf (maybe 160lb sopping wet in jeans) was to try and join. Would this be where the balance problems would hit? Would they be tricky from the getgo? Should i just make/ invest in an ungly stand for the hammock itself?(propertys not quite level ao would be even more work xc)
Thanks for your time and i hope this wasnt too dumb of a question just getting mixed answers
