Here's a simple, low tech solution. Find an old child's swing set. Reinforce the cross bar with a heavy duty pipe. Attach a chain the same length as the pipe to the corners using eye bolts. Suspend a hoist from the center of the chain. This puts the pipe/crossbar under compression and distributes the load. Add three seat belts, and you're all set. Carl
