Can you recommend a non-portable hammock stand for an 11′ gathered end hammock? It seems there are a lot of them that are long enough, but the height can be a problem, when used with the correct sag. Thanks!

Non-portable? Sink a few 4×4 studs in the ground with some cement 🙂 The Vario stand is one of the best I’ve found so far for Mayan hammocks.

Derek, how deep into the ground? Would 24 inches be enough for 8ft 4×4 post?
2-3 feet in cement.
Would this work with a 11foot trail lair by simplylight designs?

It would be a tight fit. I’d recommend a Vario stand because it’s adjustable.
