Looking to get an outdoor hammock with its own stand. They all look about the same to me on Amazon. Brands/features you recommend? TIA

Well duh, I knew to go to the hammock district.
that girl is lucky she got up from that...
I have looked a few times and always talked myself out of hammock life. I would probably do removable posts if it was feasible. Those big ass frames annoy me just looking at them.
Maybe your experience will be different. Bought my wife one with a stand several years ago for Mother’s Day. That’s what she wanted. She rarely, if ever, used it. It got filthy with all the storms and wind that we eventually tossed it. We also bought one that doesn’t have a stand. It was used 2-3 times. I’m not sure what ever happened to it. We always get the urge to get a hammock after a trip to an AI resort that has one on the balcony. They always seem so amazing at those places.
Based on the wisdom imparted in this thread, I made the below selection, which is a portable but sturdy frame.
Damn that guy is the same height as me and he looks comfortable as shit. I'm in.
Plus with the 600 pound capacity it should be handle to most HORTers.
Be sure to keep it in the garage when not using it. The elements will kill it pretty quick. We have one. Wife and daughters love to use it to read or nap. Me, not so much
A friend of mine has one and said that to be mindful of it blowing around on a windy day. I tried to get one with breathable fabric, so we'll see how it goes. Looking forward to it on a Sunday afternoon after mowing.
Just get the regular one from amazon....steel tubes.....5 pieces....two S hooks and attach the actual hammock.
Just like this one below, we've had it for years and years. (just make sure you bring the hammock itself in after use each time so it doesn't get all sun faded and scummy from rain)

Thanks for the kind words @Tenacious E . The no pic and I have often thought about that career path (hammock modeling), but like so many other things, kids and life in general have just gotten in the way.
I don't know Spanish, but I'm getting the gist of it...
Esta hamaca no soporta 600 lb como dice la descripción...
