Nice construction. I have bought a Chacmool family hammock that requires 2m height. This design gives approx 140cm height. Upscaling to 2m height would make the frame less portable. Something to bear in mind. Given that I will only be placing the hammock in a couple of places, I'm considering removable 10cm square treated posts rather than buying a bespoke frame.

Fantastico! 👍😃🌻❤

Great design. I am so happy I found this. I am going to build it next weekend. I have two questions. Do you see a problem if all the bolts and nuts are countersunk into the wood? I was thinking it would be neat if only the wood, the eye bolt, and the wheels showed. Second is there anything structural stopping the 48 cm support pieces from moving once in position, or just the weight of the angled long arms? Thanks so much.

@dabberty

Hi, countersinking it would be possible if the wood is strong enough. The vertical support pieces you mean? They are bolted together with the angled long arms...

Hello, this is a great design! I want to use IT to make a stand of my own over the summer, but I have a quick question about the improvement design (with the post in the middle) posted on you blog. Since the legs are at different points on the frame and there are blocks on the middle of either side wouldn’t the leg that is further down hit the block when it is swept over?

Hi, i had dozens of emails asking about the whole design, and mostly about the sizing of the lumber, since our sizes are not available. Whatever size younuae is fine, the recalculation is fairly easy, but i would not recommend to go any thinner then my size, unless you use hardwood. Hope that helps..

Could you please verify the material list for me? Bolts, washers, nuts, and glue I've got covered, but boards I want to verify. If I'm seeing this correctly, to build this stand, six boards will be needed for this build. In the US I am assuming 4x4x8 will need to be used which are thicker and standard length would be a bit shorter.
