How to make a hanging chair?
A hammock can be made not only from strong threads and cut off fabric, but also from thin boards. For this you will need wooden Euro-pallets of the "M" category. They are equipped with frequent thin slats, which will serve as the basis of your hammock. To fix the pallet you need 20 meters of nylon or kapron rope. In addition, you need 4 self-tapping rings 6x80 mm and clamps clamps.
The work will be carried out in stages:
- Preparation of laths . Carefully grind the slats until the potential splint disappears. After that, soak them with antiseptic and open them twice with varnish.
- Make holes . Leave the edge 25 mm and drill holes in 50 mm steps. Here, a 8 mm diameter drill is good. This bar can be used as a template.
- Pull off the slats . Lace the straps crosswise to each other. Do not use a single piece of rope. The pieces and nodules must be personal for each connection of the rails.
- Handle the cord . The ends of a nylon cord flick with a cigarette lighter. So they will not raspolachivatsya and they will be easier to pass through holes.
- Suspension . Drill 4 holes in the first and the penultimate bar. Pass the rope and fold the mat in such a way that the distance between the "foot" and "headboard" is 2-3 straps. Based on the height of the crossbar to which the hammock will be suspended, cut the cables. Fasten the design and enjoy the work done!
