Hammock Question

[Ksig512]

I have a question for the brain trust... My wife has been bugging me to hang her hammock up for a while now. I woke up early this morning and had the crazy idea to surprise her when she gets home from a long day at work.... My question is what should I use to hang this thing. We dont have any trees in the area she wants it. I was going to just get a couple 4x4's , a couple eyelets and a few bags of cement . Would pipe work better ? if so what kind?
By the way our back yard is on a steep incline so I dont think the already made stand will work to good......

Would 2 inch galvanized pipe hold the weight ?

2" pipe would work well. and my neighbor has one using the 4x4 posts. they have a frame you can buy just for the hammocks and i think its made of the 2" steel pipe.

if you have dogs put the hammock away when not in use. i have seen 1 and heard stories of dogs strangling themselves trying to play with the new swinging rope toy.
