i would bet yes

I have tons of excess that I just zip tied together.

PS: As soon as I loaded it, closed the cover and pressed the blue button, a blank page came out followed by my misprinted label. Cheers for Dymo on that!

What about the drain? I assumed the drain was round like the pipe.

@@guttermanek they make pyramid shaped caps. Glued one to the bottom and drilled holes in it for drainage. Have a separate cap for the top if I want to remove the posts.

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.

It looks like 1" of 4" PVC pipe sticking out of the ground. what is there to show. Some people are never satisfied lmao

Water will drain as hose retracts

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.

Works great even if pecans are embedded. Not sure about acorns. Probably need the smaller version for those.

@@jessewayne2943 thanks for the quick reply. Actually just saw an acorn hack on KZfaq where a guy turns the rake on it's back side and pushes like a snow shovel and they were all coming up. It was pretty amazing

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.

I don't know. You'd have to check the load strength of the fence post you purchase.

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

Is it square or are 2 sides rounded?

Lowes for about $4

@@jessewayne2943 awsome idea and post. 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 #? Wondering if a 4" round fencepost would work just as well. The stores confirmed that a square post would have to be 2.8" x 2.8" or smaller to fit into a 4" round PVC tube. Thanks!

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.

LASHK001 Mine either! What the heck?

The rule is usually 1/3 of your post height. Since mine's not structural, I'm not worried about it.
