I qyit making them when I found out you could get a basic 15 footer on sale at Dick's for around $50 every year. My home made ones were heavier, shorter, and probably not as safe. I spent darn near $50 on them anyway, by the time I bought material, paint, and chain to attach them.

+1. Walmart has $49 stands, and Dicks runs them for $50...
I spend that much in time and materials trying to put one together. I just bought 2 from WalMart for $49 each and put one up last night.
Nothing wrong with making one myself, but it's just SO much easier to buy them for about the same $$$ as building my own.
