Great idea. I've been envisioning something similar for a while now. I'm all over it.

Awesome, exactly what I was looking for. Thanks for sharing

Great idea JW. Thumbs up mate.

Now you’re four years in, how well has it held up?

Great idea! Thanks I was thinking to put just the support but... this is much better that have that thing all the time in the middle of the patio! hahahhah

Great video. 10/10

Thank you. This is just what I was looking for.. great detail.

Thanks to Lot

I'm going to use it to make a removable pull up Bar

No chance of the pvc cracking if the post puts pressure on the sides?

Do you think this would work for 12 foot posts to hang shade sails? I like the idea of being able to remove them.

@@BenjaminRubenstein @David Gomez @Jesse Wayne, we have been wanting to do this with a rectangular sail to cover our patio for several years now. I have been searching and searching for a way to do removable poles. The one problem we are concerned about is a big gust of wind possibly pulling the poles out. Any ideas on how to somehow lock or bolt the poles into their temporary sleeves? Also, I have the same question about the depth as far as the necessity of 1/3rd needing to be buried. I thought we only needed to be concerned about the freeze line during the winter (we get snow).

The force of 15mph wind on a 12x12 tarp is something like 290lbs. If using a 4x4 post, you NEED 3.5-4’ of a 10’ post in the ground. If using 6x6 10’ post, 3’ will work. If 12’ long, 4’ or more should be buried.

Wondering how you fit the 4X4X8 post into the 4” pipe? We are trying this now and it clearly won’t fit in. Thought about going 6” pipe but that’s too much wiggle room for the post. Did you have to trim down your post?

Check out below. This is a 3x4 fence post

thank you - this was great especially for somone like myself who is not much of a handyman. quick question - what cap should i get for when its not in use? the one i got is really hard to remove once its on. was hoping there was an easier on/off option.

Hi thank you so much for this ❤️❤️❤️ I have a question...I have a heavy brother who loves being over in the summer and of course I don’t like making anyone feel bad about their weight...so I was wondering would something like this work for a heavy person. He’s 350 pounds. I’m only asking because I would like to build 2 hammocks for when he comes over so I can have my own too lol. I love making him feel comfortable. I don’t have any trees so I would be putting four 4x4s to make mines and his. Please let me know 😬 thank you 😊

At his weight, you would need a 6x6 post, not a 4x4. And you’d want it 3.5 feet in the ground if doing a slide in method and inside of pvc. I’ve seen 4x4 posts set 4’ in cement break when a 165lb teenager “plopped” down into a hammock. I’m 250lbs and broke a 4x4 post a campground owner swore would hold me(he just paid like $1,000 to have 12 posts set for hammocks and thought I was crazy when I told him a 6x6 had 4x the snapping capacity if a 4x4. Everyone who sets hammocks with posts and knows their lumber calculations uses 6x6 posts. The rest is really up to the weight rating of the hammock. Most 2 person hammocks says 350lbs max… you’d need to find a 450lb rated hammock for a 350lb guy, so it can handle him plopping into it, and getting out.

Perfect

I tried to get a 3x4 landscaping post to fit in a 4 inch PVC pipe at Lowe’s and it definitely didn’t work. Did you have to cut the post any? Is the PVC pipe bigger than 4 inches?

Get a 6” diameter drain pipe. And use a 6x6 that you cut the corners off of. I’ve seen 4x4 hammock posts snap with 165lb teenagers getting into them; and I’ve intentionally snapped at 4x4 setup to show how dangerous it is(I’m 6’4” and 250lbs.

genius.

Rather than using a round pvc pipe, you can use a pvc post jacket. These are square and perfectly sized to jacket over a 4x4 post. Better distributes the stress of the weight across the entire surface of the post rather than along one or two corners.

Tried that. The post ends to be manually un-removable. I think the concrete, after expanded by the added water, squeezes the sleeve against the post too tight.

How much weight would this bear? I have a two-person hammock and want to be sure it won’t snap with more than one person in it.

Late to the game here… or take 1/2” off each corner at 45° angles and a 4x4 will fit. But only do that up to the depth of the hole… this leave a shoulder that sits on top of the pvc.

I've called every home depot, Ace, and lowe's in northern California and they have never even heard of this type of 3"x4" wood post so I'm wondering if you can share more about where you got yours or an item #?

So late to answer this, but it’s not a “fence post” in most places, it’s called a “landscaping timber,” used for garden bed and walkway edging. Or like around a kid’s swing set with mulch. Bet a $1 this snapped after a year of use.

On hammock forums.net they also recommend 6x6. Excellent video on how to do it.

Could have used a lot more visual on this. Why not say the 4” post won’t fit the 4” pipe at the outset. Also, I needed 5, not 3 bags of cement.
