How to Build a Arc Hammock Stand

1,Cut one end of the 6-foot long boards at a 30-degree angle.

2,Measure one foot in from each end of the 8-foot boards. Mark each measurement with a pencil.

3,Lay one 8-foot board flat. Place the angled end of the 6-foot boards at the two 1-foot marks. Angle the boards outward. Place the other 8-foot board on top. Line it up with the measurement marks. The 6-foot boards must be sandwiched between the 8-foot boards.

4,Drill 4 holes through all three of the boards in the two areas where they connect.

5,Secure the boards with the five 1/2-inch bolts, washers and nuts.

6,Measure to find the middle of the 4-foot boards. Place the ends of the 8-foot boards at the center line. When the arc hammock stand is upright, the 4-foot boards make the stand’s base.

7,Drill one hole through the 4-foot boards and through each of the 8-foot boards on both sides. This equals 2 holes for each end.

8,Attach the pieces together with the 6-inch bolts, washers and nuts.
