After assembling and setting up my hammock I believe the coupling I added is not necessary if you wrap the strap over the top bar on the last wrap.

I used this site as a rough guide and it has a nice illustration of the plans with measurements and even some useful stuff in the comments.
My only changes to the plans were adding caps to the "feet", slight length changes to minimize waste with the pieces of pipe I had, add a coupling and short nipple at the top of the uprights (to eliminate the chance of the hammock strap slipping) and I would build out of 1.25 inch black iron pipe. Some of the comments said 1inch pipe was working for people over 250lbs but I like to overbuild so I chose the 1.25 inch.
Luckily gas piping is part of my job so I have access to a large threader and tools to make it a little easier but you can have home depot or lowes thread the pipes. You could also build out of pre-cut pieces and use nipples and couplings to achieve the lengths you need, you may even be able to find pre-cuts 6ft long but I only really see them 5ft and under.
My total cost (wholeale) for materials is around $120 which isn't cheap but is cheaper than other stands that have a horizontal bar allowing for a reliable tarp pitch. It would be cheaper with the 1 inch pipe too.

Forgot to mention my supplier only had one iron tee so I used a galvanized for the other one. You could make the whole thing out of galvanized and not have to paint it for a long time but it would be more expensive.

Still haven't tried the mango kush ale but have had the g13 ipa a few times. Pretty good and pairs with a doob nicely. They use terpenes if I'm not mistaken.
I'm waiting for sour diesel double ipa...

Also snagged some solar string lights to put around the inside of the ez-up and flagpole.

I am brainstorming on a version I can make out of black iron or galvinized pipe for cheap. I had not saw this drive over style before, thanks for posting.
One of my summer projects is to build a hammock stand. Was going to (and may still) go with the "jim speer hammock stand" style cause I have saw those at trail days for years and they allow you to easily pitch a tarp too.

I have been using an old cheap twin air mattress on top of my cot but I plan to experiment this year with a ridgerest or maybe a cot specific mat like Sneake posted.

Mr. longhair1218 and Mr. Bird700level can feel free to buy me a bag of ice this year that I hopefully won't need and I will top off my neighbor's coolers like a hero. Oh wait. Sneake and lobster were my neighbors the last 2 years. Fuck those guys. They can buy their own ice.
Fuck you too buddy, don't give in to the razor.
On the topic of ice I usually just prechill my cooler (coleman extreme marine 70qt) and include some frozen bottles with a bunch of ice. Usually need a half bag on Saturday or Sunday so I can split it with my friendly neighbor.

Jamaica nice, London cool
Surprised more here haven't heard of him
Here is a pretty good reggae playlist I found somewhere a couple years back. Ft. Yellowman and the usual suspects like bob, toots, Barrington, eek
Edited cause I fell into a reggae hole and remembered there is a skrillex track on that playlist, you have been warned.
