With Ryan's th-cam.com/users/postUgkxy_pn55PK60wAV3X_C_RoLS_67mNonoCE plan I was like one taken by the hand and led step by step from start to finish. Thank you very much Ryan!
We are halfway through tomorroe we are putting the top part together !! Thank you so much for this great idea . Now with all that’s going on in the world we are making our vacations .. staycations at home !
That's so awesome to hear! We're doing the same thing with all our projects, that's the only option for now. Feel free to share your finished project when you're done! :)
Great job. Making this in the next 2 weeks. What is the distance between the posts and How long are the top rafters? Going by the materials list I'm guessing about 30".
How far down do the 6x6 post sit in ground? Do you have any water pooling issues by the base of 6x6? How are the 6x6 post apart? Looks amazing. Thanks for answering my questions.
This is a very cool video, love how you did it. One day i want to make this, but my only changes would be the lighting being put in between the two 2x8 rafters, out of sight.
I love this idea and have a vacant corner next to the deck. I also have 3 kids and I know I should have at least two hammocks to save my sanity! How would you change this to a corner pergola, using two hammocks, one in each direction? Have you thought of doing this for yourselves? Awesome tunes, love the tropical house vibes...always need more of that with pina coladas!
Hi Shawn! Thank you so much! That sounds like a perfect idea! The posts would essentially be the same, just each hammock sharing the rear corner post. The support beams would have to be attached differently to the rear corner post, but they have lots of specialty pergola brackets at most hardware stores that you could look at. For the top though you could either extend the rafters to make the structure a triangle (with the front rafters longer and progressively getting shorter) or you could just mirror the two and give each arm of the hammock pergola their own rafters. I hope this makes sense, let us know if you have any other questions!
Can this method be used to hang swings also? I would like to build one like this that I could either hang the hammock as well as a couple hammock chairs for the kids. Thank you
Thanks for creating and sharing this video. My husband and I are hoping to recreate it this summer. What is everyone’s view on the best hammock type? Framed or unframed? The framed can be easier to fall out of!
What did you apply to the wood that’s going in the ground? Also, how far apart did you place the vertical beams? Don’t ask me why, I thought I needed bigger than 6x6 and special ordered some 8x8 redwood beams for my project 😅 not gonna go anywhere!!
Hi love this video and I'm looking to make. It would have been helpful to see the materials used in the description to get an idea of what would be needed.
Hi Evelyn! Thank you so much and you are so right, we will add the list right now. Here is the list in the meantime. 😊 2 - 6x6x10 2 - 2x8x16 4 - 2x6x10 4 - 1/2" x 10" galvanized bolts 2 - 1/2" x 8" eye bolts 6 - 1/2" washers and nuts 1box - 4" drive screws 9 - 50lb bags fast setting quikrete 1 gallon - exterior sealant/stain Hope this helps!
The hammock stand looks awesome and I’m attempting build one similar to your style. At what width of the 2x8 did you start the 45 degree cut for the dog ears?
Hi Liam, thank you so much! We cut our dog ears at the halfway mark of the width of the boards, so 4" for the 2x8s and 3" for the 2x6s rafters on top. Hope this helps!
@@BrocAndAimee Just had our hammock pergola installed using your design. Looks great. How high are your hammock anchor eye-bolts off the ground? Thanks!
May I ask how long were your main posts including what you buried? As I'm thinking of repurposing an old swing set with 10 foot posts I'm wondering if will be long enough or if the header would be too low by the time I bury them? Thanks
Beautiful design and teamwork. Congratulations :) I'm not sure if anyone has already asked about it, although I tried to read all the comments - at what height do you have the hammock handles? I have very similar dimensions and spacing of wooden beams as well as the size of the hammock.
great video!! We used it to get our hammock set up. Thank you!! one question, how did you attach the top rafters? I have seen some pictures where they were notched. . . We are trying to decide what the easiest way is.
Hi Andrew! We did our best to make the holes the same depth. Once the concrete was set we placed a level on the 2x8x16 support beam and checked the level between two posts. (We got lucky that ours turned out to be level). But once you check level you would mark which beam is taller and use a saw to cut that once down to make it level with the shorter one. We hope that makes sense, please let us know if that answers your question. We can email you a picture if you want. 👍
Hi, nice design. I’m putting my parts on ordered but one question on the eye bolts, where did you get them? I’m finding some but the weight ratings are not good and most say the rating is for a straight pull only. Just curious, thank you
@LetsWingItDIY This project looks awesome - great job! I do have a couple of questions though.. How wide are the rafter beams? If I was doing this near a wall, how far would you suggest I place the main posts from the wall? As in, what the safe distance to clear it without going out to the middle of my yard?
Thank you! The top rafters are 2x6 cut to 32" long. We have our posts 60" from the fence, we have a two person hammock and wanted plenty of room for the hammock to swing. I think you could get away with 48" or even less depending on the width of your hammock
We just made one this weekend based of your video!! We’re literally in love! I want to make your grill kitchen as well. I love the work you guys do! I’m sharing with everyone I know!
Hey folks. Just checking up on the concrete you guys did for the post. Is it still holding up good? I want to build one next week but I’ve seen like the foam stuff u can get to. Don’t know which one is good! Thanks guys
Hi Chris, it's been over a year and the posts are holding up great! We wouldn't recommend using the foam just because it's not recommended for any type of structural posts, and the weight of a person in the hammock would cause some significant strain on the foam. Let us know if you have any other questions!
Hi Thomas! There is always a risk of wood rotting over time. We treated the boards to resist rot and had a 4" gravel bed at the base of the posts to help with drainage. The top of the concrete slopes away from the posts to assist with the drainage as well. We also live in California where rain is minimal so we are hopeful the posts will last a long time 😊
***ACTUALLY THINK IT’S 30” pieces. 1st thanks a million for the video! Just finishing mine. Couldn’t have done it without you. I was going to cut at 32 as you mentioned, but that would leave a 24 inch scrap piece and you wouldn’t be able to get 15 rafters out of 4 2x6s. I think you meant 30” cuts which would give you 5 rafters with each 10 foot board.
We did not only because we couldn't find pressure treated 6"x6" posts. But we self treated our wood with wood sealer to prevent water and insect damage
Hi there! We used a board to line up the posts to one another while we were setting them. If they are a little off it's okay but you want them to line up so when you attach the support beams they are flush.
Oh yeah that is definitely confusing! Sorry, with lumber, a 6x6 is actually 5.5x5.5 and a 2x8 is actually 1.5x7.5, so the total thickness of all the pieces together is only 8.5"
We don't usually give dimensions because everyone's project is different, but the post hole should be 1/4 to 1/3 of the height of the post, deep (ex: a post that has 8ft above ground would need 2ft-2.6ft underground). And the post distance would depend on the size of hammock you are hanging. Ours was 14ft because we have a 12ft hammock . Hope this helps!
Yeah that's right, but if you can't find treated lumber you can always seal it before you put it in the ground. I would do 2-3 coats for the part in the ground. Hope this helps!
Not gonna lie. I've watched 20 of these videos about doing this, and this one has been my favorite so far.
Hey thanks! We definitely appreciate the feedback!
Yea I keep coming back to to this one

Nice video. What are the bolts that go through the posts that the hammocks hook to called?
Awesome job guys..question what was your measurement from pole to pole??.not sure how far hammock should be..thanks
awesome job! looks great.
Thanks a lot!
Looks good

That sounds great. Make this your own! Thanks for sharing :)
What did you treat the lumber in the concrete with?
Awesome. How far apart are the 6x6 posts?
Very cool idea. Great job.
My wife loves a good hammock. Think I might need to upgrade our setup.

Great video. Do you think 4x4 posts would work too or better to go with 6x6? tks.
I went with 6x6 posts. Better safe than sorry. They're heavy enough. Not sure if the 4x4 would work
Nice!
Thanks!
Can this method be used to hang swings also? I would like to build one like this that I could either hang the hammock as well as a couple hammock chairs for the kids. Thank you
Very nice design! Looks great! It is easier to mix the concrete in a bucket 🪣 with a drill and paddle mixer. 📐cheers
Don't need to mix it at all....just pour it into the hole.Moisture from the ground mixes it, but can always feel free to put water in with it
Thanks for creating and sharing this video. My husband and I are hoping to recreate it this summer. What is everyone’s view on the best hammock type? Framed or unframed? The framed can be easier to fall out of!
Hey so I would just grab something similar to what we got. If has been awesome!
How far apart did you guys place the posts?
Everything looks great by the way !
Thank you so much! We have a 12ft hammock so we placed our posts 14ft apart.

Thank you!
That's super cool
Thanks!
This is very beautiful. How much weight can it hold? Do you think it’s safe to use it as two children’s swings instead of a hammock ?
Don't hang anything off of the rafters. I would only attach things to the 6x6s. The rafters aren't strong enough for weight :)
Great Job !
Bravo, j'ai regardé toute vos vidéos, vous faites du bon travail ! Vous méritez plus d'abonner !
Continuez comme ça !
Merci beaucoup, nous apprécions votre soutien
Love this!!
Thank you!
My favorite! I already showed my hubby what I want for my hammock! Can you give me the name of the wood that you used please!
Hi Monica! That's so great to hear :) We used douglas fir from Home Depot and sealed it with BEHR Deck Plus waterproofing transparent sealant.
This was great thanks!
Thank you, happy you enjoyed it!
Cool. I like it
Thank you Sandra!
How high do you put the hammock on the six by sixes?
excellent work, I will use this idea to make ours. Could you give me the full list of materials

We used 10ft 6x6 posts, then buried them 2ft deep, so final height of 8ft was perfect. Hope this helps!
That's perfect then as with the exception of a little cement this project will cost me $0, thanks!
Looks nice 👍🏻 what color did you stain the wood?
Thank you! We used Behr Deck Plus Waterproofing stain in Clear. Even though it said clear, it did have a slight tint to it
What hooks did you use for hammock and how high up on the post did you anchor the hammock?
They used galvanized eye hooks 1/2" x 8". 4 ft 6" from the ground once you set the posts in 2 ft. Building mine now as we speak
Fantastic job guys. Super clean. Can you please let me know where you guys got the hammock from?
Thank you
Hey Mehran, we got it from Amazon! It’s called Lazy Daze Double Hammock.
Beautiful design and teamwork. Congratulations :) I'm not sure if anyone has already asked about it, although I tried to read all the comments - at what height do you have the hammock handles? I have very similar dimensions and spacing of wooden beams as well as the size of the hammock.
Thank you so much! The bolts we used to hang the hammock are installed 4 ft 6 in from the the ground. Hope this helps!
@@BrocAndAimee thank you! :)
What is the height? Of the 1/2" x 8" eye bolts?
Question! How did u figure out the best distance between the 6x6's for the hammock to lay right?
The distance is all based on the length of the hammock. Just far apart to have a taught hammock :)
Looks great. Were the posts 10ft or 12ft long? Thanks
Thank you! They were 10ft long
how long are your short boards going across the top of the pergola? how far apart are your main posts?
The distance we did was 14ft on the main posts, and the short boards are 2ft. The distance on the main posts depends on the hammock length :)
Can you tell me how far apart you put each 6x6?
great video!! We used it to get our hammock set up. Thank you!! one question, how did you attach the top rafters? I have seen some pictures where they were notched. . . We are trying to decide what the easiest way is.
Oh! I see it now, had to scroll through slower.
Haha now worries, and that is so cool that you guys built one! Did you use the same dimensions or did you do something different??
And it is easier using 4" screws screwed in at an angle than notching each board
Hi how long are the rafters
Great video! How did you ensure that the two posts were at the same elevation on top? (level with each other)
Hi Andrew! We did our best to make the holes the same depth. Once the concrete was set we placed a level on the 2x8x16 support beam and checked the level between two posts. (We got lucky that ours turned out to be level). But once you check level you would mark which beam is taller and use a saw to cut that once down to make it level with the shorter one. We hope that makes sense, please let us know if that answers your question. We can email you a picture if you want. 👍
@@BrocAndAimee That make sense - Thanks!!
Hi I was wondering how did you attach the rafters. Did I miss a step?
Sorry for the delay, all of the rafters were attached with deck screws
What kindof wood did you use for the wood posts?
6x6x10 Douglas fir posts, we got ours from Home Depot
@@BrocAndAimee Did you use pressure treated posts?
Yeah they are all pressure treated.
how much do you reckon you paid for materials? just to give me an idea of costs. thx and great job.
Hello! In Feb 2020 when we built this it cost us $250 for all the materials. But lumber prices are much higher now so I would expect it to cost more
@@BrocAndAimee thx also could i ask what did you use for the hook for the hammock? i can't see a close up only a bolt with a washer.
Hi, nice design. I’m putting my parts on ordered but one question on the eye bolts, where did you get them? I’m finding some but the weight ratings are not good and most say the rating is for a straight pull only. Just curious, thank you
Hey sorry for the delay, we got the eyelets from Home Depot!
Also, could this be made with 4x4s?
Kristen Brown I made one with the 4x4 size and it worked fine. I really like the look of the bigger wood tho!
Whats the distance between both posts?
Hello! The posts are 14 feet apart for our 12ft hammock

Thank you! The top rafters are 2x6 cut to 32" long. We have our posts 60" from the fence, we have a two person hammock and wanted plenty of room for the hammock to swing. I think you could get away with 48" or even less depending on the width of your hammock

Hey folks. Just checking up on the concrete you guys did for the post. Is it still holding up good? I want to build one next week but I’ve seen like the foam stuff u can get to. Don’t know which one is good! Thanks guys
Hi Chris, it's been over a year and the posts are holding up great!

Hey again!! What were the measurements for the rafters? Every 16”?
We separated our rafters every 12" on center, but you can do whatever spacing looks best to you!
Did you use fir, cedar or pressure treated wood? Nice video!
We used Douglas fir and sealed it with a waterproofing deck sealant, a year and a half later and it still is holding up great!
How long are the rafter pieces? 2 feet?
Yes. Also, sorry for the delayed response. I have been deployed.
@@BrocAndAimee all good. I built our hammock based on how y’all did yours. Thanks for the upload to inspire.
My wife wants one of these. Can i ask how much concrete per post did you use?
We used 4.5 bags per hole. quikrete.com has a really great calculator for how much concrete you need depending on post size and hole size and depth.
@@BrocAndAimee Thank you! I just found that calculator actually! I'll be doing one of these next Thursday, right behind our pond.
Awesome! Let us know if you have any questions along the way! :)
@@BrocAndAimee Thanks, you two are awesome. Did you use 2x6's or 2x4's for your rafters?
Thank you, we really appreciate it! And the rafters on the very top are 2x6s, the support beams they sit on are 2x8s
How far are the post apart?
They said 14 ft with a 12 ft hammock
From germany. Wood in concrete no go. 3-5 Jears and it starts to get dammage.
Hi Thomas! There is always a risk of wood rotting over time. We treated the boards to resist rot and had a 4" gravel bed at the base of the posts to help with drainage. The top of the concrete slopes away from the posts to assist with the drainage as well. We also live in California where rain is minimal so we are hopeful the posts will last a long time 😊
How long are the rafters ? We are doing it right now
We cut our rafters to 32" each
***ACTUALLY THINK IT’S 30” pieces. 1st thanks a million for the video! Just finishing mine. Couldn’t have done it without you. I was going to cut at 32 as you mentioned, but that would leave a 24 inch scrap piece and you wouldn’t be able to get 15 rafters out of 4 2x6s.

How high did you put the hammock hooks?
I am so sorry for the HUGE delay. I was deployed for the last 10 months.
If it still even matters to you, the height of the hooks was 48”.
Great job!
Whats the total height of that? Looking to build it so I can put some privacy lattice above the height of my 5-6 foot fence. Thanks
Hey! The total height is 9'. You can make it shorter or taller, the height of the hammock is the same regardless. Thanks!
How far apart were the posts ?
They said 14 ft with a 12 ft hammock
Dis you use presure treated wood
We did not only because we couldn't find pressure treated 6"x6" posts. But we self treated our wood with wood sealer to prevent water and insect damage
Wheres your hardhats?
I’m gonna build this.
Do it, you'll be happy you did!
How to insure the edges of each post are parallel to the ones on the other post or that doesn’t matter...
Hi there! We used a board to line up the posts to one another while we were setting them. If they are a little off it's okay but you want them to line up so when you attach the support beams they are flush.
Ok so u used 6x6 post! So is your pergola 4ft tall?
No the pergola is 8 ft tall! We got 6 in x 6 in x 10 ft tall posts, then we set them in concrete 2ft into the ground
What’s the distance between the two poles?
They said 14 ft with a 12 ft hammock
how far apart are the posts please
Can you tell us where you purchased the hammock?
Hey Frank, we got it from Amazon. It’s called Lazy Daze Double Hammock.
Let’s Wing It thank you!
Love this! I am planning one! What hardware did you use to hang your hammock?
Thank you! We used 2 - 1/2"x 10" eye bolts attached with a nut and washer.
Is it 12” bolt?
Hi Kev, No we used a 10" galvanized bolt to attach the 2x8s to each 6x6 post
Hi just thought 2 plank plus post would equal to 10”.
Oh yeah that is definitely confusing! Sorry, with lumber, a 6x6 is actually 5.5x5.5 and a 2x8 is actually 1.5x7.5, so the total thickness of all the pieces together is only 8.5"
Thanks for explaining.
Nice but really wish you had given us dimensions etc. I’m trying to figure out how deep to dig and how far apart the posts need to be.
We don't usually give dimensions because everyone's project is different, but the post hole should be 1/4 to 1/3 of the height of the post, deep (ex: a post that has 8ft above ground would need 2ft-2.6ft underground). And the post distance would depend on the size of hammock you are hanging. Ours was 14ft because we have a 12ft hammock . Hope this helps!
Very helpful. Slight typo in the first sentence: The post HOLES should be 1/4 to 1/3 of the post height ...
mark2talk2u Oh shoot, just updated it! Thanks for noticing.
Yup. I liked the video. Very chill, yet informative.
How far a part are the poles
We spaced them 14ft apart for our 12ft hammock
Cool
Thanks!
Cedar?
No it's Douglas Fir.
@@BrocAndAimee so its typical treated lumber from the big box store? Thanks
Yeah that's right, but if you can't find treated lumber you can always seal it before you put it in the ground. I would do 2-3 coats for the part in the ground. Hope this helps!
@@BrocAndAimee hows it holding up? 24 inches plenty deep enough?
Did you need a permit for any of these builds?
It really depends on where you live. Some places yes and others no. I would google the codes of your area. Hope this helps :)
00:34 is that a doggy cemetery?
Oh no! It's a doggy potty area (like a litter box for dogs) we made a video for it! :)
@letswingit what's the dimension between the poles and height of hooks.
The distance between the poles is 14 ft (because the hammock we got was 12 ft), and the height of the hooks was 4 ft 6 in from the ground.
