A Classy DIY Hammock Pergola stand

Construction notes :
- Our posts are 12'2" apart (but really should be 13') Most Hammocks come with recommended hook dimensions.  The hanging hooks are 60" off the ground
- 8' to the bottom of the 2x12 support beam
- top cross pieces are set at 16" on center
- top cross pieces measure 48" across at the longest point
- 6x6 posts are set in ground, each with 2 bags of quickset
- Approx build time is 10 hours for 2 people
