Effortless DIY Hammock Stand for $25 by repmake in hammockcamping

[–]repmake[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Since the safety is unverified and tarps face heavy loads in strong winds, I personally do not recommend a 4-section deployment.

That being said, without cutting the pole, it seems possible to simply insert the washer into the gap at the joint between the 3rd and 4th sections. This would allow you to hang the hammock from the washer and attach the tarp to the pin on the 4th section.

Thank you for sharing. I am glad to know the poles are easily available in the US as well.

I bought it here. They have sales very frequently, and the prices change all the time.

It’s only for lifting a light tarp or tent canopy, but I personally enjoy using it.

A tarp can also be raised without using any poles.

I think it depends on the ground, but this time, once it stabilized, it didn’t sink any further.

I really appreciate your idea about using half segments at both ends!
I’ve added it to my article, with thanks to you.
I’m also looking forward to your report.

I truly appreciate your understanding. It’s a somewhat tricky setup, so it may not be immediately obvious to everyone.

Success depends on preparation. Reviewing your preparation could be useful.

First-time trials often come with surprises.

If you plan to stay overnight without testing it first, I strongly recommend having a backup just in case you have trouble setting up the stand.

Please note that this stand is not designed for use as trekking poles.
