When only one tree is available to hang a hammock from, our removable hammock post meets the need for the other end. The 11-gauge steel post inserts into a permanently installed steel sleeve flush with the ground surface. The pole is removable for lawn mowing. Perfect where only one tree is available. Finished in forest green to camouflage into your lawn.
About Algoma Net Company
Having been in business for over 100 years, Algoma is proud to present you with a selection of the finest designs in hammocks and other outdoor lifestyle products. The Algoma family of all-American crafted products is recognized for its quality, styling, and value. Their commitment is to continue providing you with the best relaxation products under the sun.
The Hammock Post is a good alternative to a hammock stand. If your trees are not the right distance apart and you still would like to utilize your shade tree, this is a good alternative. Hook one end to the tree or building and the other to the post. You may also use two posts if desired. The steel ground post has a "ground tube" or sleeve which goes into the ground to support the hammock post. Simply place ground tube in the ground and slide the hammock post into the ground tube. Then hook your hammock to the top of the hammock post with hooks provided. This ground tube design gives you the ability to remove the hammock post leaving your yard obstruction free. The ground post comes complete with a ground tube, hammock post, eye bolt and plastic top cap, and comes in an acrylic gloss hunter green finish. The ground tube is secured by using 2 cubic feet of cement. The ground tube and hammock post are constructed of heavy 12-gauge steel tubing. Supports up to 450 pounds.

Assembly Difficulty Level
Assembled
Step 1: Select a spot approximately 16' from a stationary point to suspend your hammock.
Step 2: Using a post-hole digger or shovel: Dig a hole a minimum of 18 inches in diameter
and 24 to 27 inches in depth. Place the [In Ground Tube] into the hole.
Step 3: Place a small mound of gravel in the center bottom of the hole, this is for drainage and to allow for height adjustment at ground level.
Step 4: Mix concrete (according to manufactures specs)
Fill into hole around the in-ground tube.
A hole of this size will require approximately 3.5 cubic feet of concrete to fill it.
NOTE: You may want to apply a piece of Duct tape over the end of the painted-pole,
to prevent concrete from getting inside of the pole.
Step 5: Fill hole within 2" of tube top and build a slight brim to prevent water corrosion.
Step 6: Insert above ground pole and check to see if it is level in all directions. Remove pole and allow the concrete to set for 24 to 48 hours. This is crucial!
Step 7: The 2 way cap/plug can be used to cap the pole while in use, or cap the ground pole When the pole is not in use. Pole removes quickly for mowing over!

I bought 2 of these poles since I don't have trees large enough for the hammock. They hold me just fine (185 lbs). I will try 2 people soon (try to stay below about 325), just haven't yet. There were just 2 things that I wasn't totally excited about. It wasn't clear that you needed to use concrete for the poles (you do) and that the poles weren't completely painted on the inside. I was able to match the paint and do that myself (only somewhat though on the taller post).

I didn't have two trees which where 15 feet apart for my hammock. This removable pole was the perfect solution. Cementing the sleave in the ground was easy. Great quality.

Q1: Can the hammock post be used with hammocks without a spreader bar?
A: Unfortunately not - this post is compatible only with spreader bar hammocks. The best hanging options we currently offer for non-spreader bar hammocks would be the adjustable hammock stands - sku USI012 and BY007 or the Hammock Hanging Hardware Kit - USI018 - which can be mounted to decks, ceilings, walls and trees.
Q2: Do you need a tree for the other end, or can a person use two of these posts to hang the hammock?
A: You can use two of these to hang the hammock, but it is recommended to be used with a tree instead of two posts.
