Can anyone tell me why the top posts end with a "Y" shape? And what is the purpose of the hook so near the bottom?

The "Y" at the tops help hold the strings together so they're not flapping around as you swing in the hammock. ..I guess it's designed that way as part of the space saving feature. The hook at the bottom is adjustable... so depending on the length of hammock and how deep you want to sit in it, you would adjust the hook accordingly. Hope that helps. .. We bought ours about 2 months ago and love it.... so far no problems

the "y" at the top is to enclose the cords of the hammock mess and the hooks at the bottom are points of attachment for the hammock ends... this rest is for specific types of hammocks .. not just any hammock...south american type

The loop at the end of your hammock goes into the hook - and the Y supports the strings..(hope that makes sense) it makes sense when you put your hammock in there!

This hammock stand is for hammocks WITHOUT spreader bars. The hook is adjustable in height to fit nearly all hammock sizes.

The "Y" ends limit the swing of the hammock, which is important if you keep it indoors. And the hook is adjustable. You can tighten it at different spots so that you can fit different lengths of hammocks. If you use a short hammock, the hook would go close to the top.

The design is because it is more compact. The very ends of the hammock sit on the y posts and then you connect it to the hooks at the bottom. I have a eno double nest hammock and I hook it to the hooks on the bottom with my tree straps, but you could also get some chain as well to connect it.

I had the same problem. You have to wedge the hanger over and through the bottom wires. The hook goes over the first bar and under the second. It took me a while to figure out. If you zoom in close on the picture, you can kind of see.

Post is threaded vertically and has a bolt which is around 5/16 but looks metric. Nice arrangement.

I used the flange to build a table, connecting the post to the table top. So, my application won't help at all. Sorry.

It's a plastic 'S' hook. Mine have held up rather well in the past 6 months of use.

I don't think so. I can't check right now. But, I didn't notice any movement in the one I got. If you look on the bottom, you might see a locking nut or something for that post. It might just be lose.

There are 2 screws that tighten and secure the cap to the post so by using longer screws it should work.

I believe it has two vertically aligned spots for a single screw. I use a 4" wood post with my flyer boxes.

Out of the box, it was for a round post, when I purchased it. Maybe they have an adaptor that can be purchased separately?

It is up to you. I used a 4 X 4 wooden post that is working quite well. Best wishes.

When it is assembled it's the post on the left that marries the one post to the other to make it level...otherwise a puzzling torture tactic for us..

hmm.. not sure what it is. mine sits right on the hook. maybe it's too heavy?

Really not sure. I am using a free floating fore end. I can tell you this. The zero was not hard and the front site post was not extreme one way or the other. And the combat zero on the rear site was pretty close.

There is a loop at the top you can use...if you can use a hook too, if you choose.

Geoffrey I have hung mine similarly. Can't post a pic on the answer so I will do so in feedback. Please look there.

I just took a pic of the hook. I guess you could put a carabiner but i made a note to show where the weak area is.

It's a hook ladder for a boat. Any dock I've been on ( thousands ) wouldn't accommodate this style of ladder. If you are getting in and out of a kayak .... That ladder best be fully anchored top and lower, or you going to get wet at the very least .... Hope that gets you in the right direction to solve your problem.
