Weave Hammock

The hammock was invented by South American Indians. Since it is well protected from damp night air, and low flying gnats, it was fully justified itself, "furniture" for the night in the jungle. Hammock came to taste the sailors who began to use it instead of bunks on a ship. This provided a tangible space saving and good quality sleep.

The first American settlers also used the hammocks because of their low cost and in adapting to a new lifestyle. A little later, this innovation has penetrated into the Old World, receiving well-deserved popularity. But in Europe, the hammock was more exotic, served largely decorative function and was used only for short-term, day of rest.
Meanwhile, the hammock is a nice, cozy place to rest and sleep. It can not only beautify yard or cottage, but even a veranda or apartment, subject to the availability of free space. Can be considered as an alternative to the hammock chair or sofa. It is very convenient for small apartments, as can be easily dismantled to make space.
The designs of hammocks come in all types - from the mesh, cloth, with wooden slats and no, one and many local ones. The modern textile industry provides a huge range of artificial and natural fabrics, all kinds of colors, so you can pick up a hammock to any interior or caprice. If desired, the hammock can be designed decorative pillows, decorate with lace, lace or fringe.
So, try to make a single, fabric hammock without rails. This type of hammock is the closest to his Latin American "ancestors". It is very easy to use and more resistant to flipping.
For the manufacture of the hammock, we need:

    Sturdy fabric-base 210 * (100 + width tape), see
    Clothesline cord sling, no less than 7-8 mm in diameter - 16,5 m
    Dense band width of 3-5 cm - 3,2 m.
Stages of work
Hem the fabric-base on all sides.



From the tapes make 12 segments of 10 cm - is the basis for loops. Fold each loop in half and attach to the main canvas so that the loop is stopped by on the main blade 2 cm, front and rear. As a result, we get a loop with a working length of 3 cm each, more than a narrow side cloth, placed in 6 loops, 20 cm apart. Prostrochit several times each loop of strong thread.

Taped to sheathe a narrow edge blade, covering the base of loops. This will improve the look of the future of the hammock and enhance the structural strength.


 
 
Pass through all the loops the cord. Form lines, which will consist of two segments cord, each 70 cm in length on the ends of the cord firmly sewn together, forming thus a closed system.



Add all the lines together. At a distance of 50-60 cm from the start of cloth firmly tie lines, the remaining "tails " to form a loop. It will attach the hammock.


 
When the sling is ready, left him to hang. It also has its own rules.
How to hang a hammock?

Decided to hang a hammock at a distance 1,5-1,65 m above the ground. The distance between the streamers should be about 2,75-3 m. If the hammock is attached to the trees, the thick trunks shall be not less than 20-30 cm in diameter.

When using artificial supports (iron and wooden posts) must ensure that they dug into the ground to not less than 1 meter.

The apartment has a hammock to hang on the screw-bolts. The more screws, the better it will hold the entire structure. In order to avoid chafing sling is desirable to use a special ring, mitigating friction.
