Posts for hammock in deck

[aronlidstrom]

Considering building a hammock into the deck. Attach posts to the support beam, for example, 95x95 pressure-treated. Wondering what is required to handle the forces from the hammock. How many support beams from the post are needed to ensure the post doesn't give way? I imagine attaching these from about the middle of the post diagonally downward, trying to illustrate below:

Has anyone done this, or does anyone have suggestions on how to do it?

Assuming you can at least set a "överliggare" between the posts, it should stabilize it... There can't be huge lateral movements, one would think...

preferably just want poles and not a huge construction. a crossbeam would just be in the way and something you'd hit your head on (unless you make very tall poles)
