DIY portable Tensahedron stand

A look at the construction of a portable Tensahedron hammock stand. This one has 2.7m poles each consisting of 3 x 900mm lengths of 32mm x 3mm aluminium. Joined with 300mm lengths of 25mm x 3mm aluminium which is riveted into one end, the other just slips on/off and is held under tension. Weight is around 11.5kg. I would have liked the commercial Tensa4 stand from the US but the US postal service seems to be now over four times the price of DHL out of Europe making it a bit of a deal breaker. The 2.7m pole length will allow a 12ft hammock or tarp to be used. I am surprised at how solid it felt when I got in. Will be interesting to try this with the Draumr 90 degree hammock....
