How to Make a Wooden Hammock Stand

Cut one end of your 6-foot long wood pieces at a 30-degree angle using your miter saw.

Measure 1 foot from each end of your 8-foot wood pieces using your measuring tape. Use your pencil to mark each measurement that you make.

Place your 8-foot wood pieces on a flat surface. Find the angled end of your 6-foot wood pieces near the two 1-foot marks. Angle the piece outwards as you place your other 8-foot piece on top. Line up the board according to the measurement marks that you made. This would put the 6-foot pieces in between the 8-foot ones.

Use your electric drill to drill 4 holes in all three pieces for every two connecting areas. Get your 1/2 by 2-inch bolts, nuts and washers and secure the wood pieces with them. See to it that they are tightly screwed by turning the knobs clockwise until they come to a complete stop.

Measure the pieces to find their 4-foot section. Put the 8-foot wood pieces’ ends near the center. The 4-foot wood pieces will serve as the stand’s base when the hammock stands are held upright.

Drill one hole using the electric driller through the 4-foot pieces. Repeat the same step for each side of your 8-foot wood pieces. You should end up with 2 holes on each end.

Use your 3/8 by 2-inch bolts, nuts and washers to attach the pieces together. See to it that each nut is tightly screwed so as to prevent easy damage.
