That seems impossible .. does it really work??

How about a one sided stand that can be folded down and carried on a motorcycle??

That's cool. Something that's easily moved.

To the op, thanks for asking this question and starting this thread.

I have one tree in the backyard and to put a pole to hang the other end from, it'd not be in a spot that'd make the wife happy I don't believe.

Ditto here. I even have a couple leftover pressure treated timbers from an old flower-bed I removed. This will work like a charm.

It does work but you better have something beefy in the ground. First time I tried it I tied to the bottom of a post. second time I put a piece of 3/4 rebar in the ground and pulled that bad boy up.

1) used two stake out points

2) set stakes at angle into the ground

3) the farther out the staking points the more the lateral pull instead of a horizontal pull

When I get home tonight I will put together a parts list for the stand that I pictured.

Thanks BWG and Randy ... two great ideas that can be done with break downable poles.

Question, how much lateral force is actually on the poles, I've got two Bubogears collapsible tarp poles that I could use in a pinch and not porch out the tarp. They aren't as stong as conduit but should bear the weight if it's directly downward??
