The choice of materials for the canvas

So, you wondered how to make a hammock yourself. To start - stock necessary material. For the manufacture of the base, a cloth or a solid rope is used. They can be natural or synthetic.

Natural fabrics allow the body to breathe, which is important in the summer heat, easily take his form due to softness. But they stretch and lose appearance, if the hammock rises regularly under the rain, fog, etc. Pollution with such fabrics is quite difficult to remove. Synthetic analogues are more durable, have a smaller weight, and sometimes good moisture resistance.

Caper for hammock

Available and suitable for quality fabric - hawk, sail, mattress tick, nylon, nylon with cotton.

For wicker options, cotton ropes are often used. They work on the product and its operation is comfortable, as the nodes are soft, well delayed, do not slide. The shortcomings are all the same as in natural fabrics. Nylon cords, ropes come out of synthetics. You can stop the choice and on kapron analogues, but they are slippery and not very comfortable in the work.

Measured measurements

In order for your hammock to be convenient in all respects and safe, it is necessary to make some measurements. For you are important:

1. Distance between supports. It is folded from the length of the canvas and 30-35 cm mounting towards each support. On average, it is about 2.8-3 m for an adult.
2. The height of the mounting hammock to the supports. It takes into account your height, keystrap and how comfortable to climb. The average fastening height is 1.5 m. The depth of the provision of the product can be adjusted with the tension of the rope.
3. Width of the canvas. It is usually 1.5 m.

Master classes for the manufacture of hammock with photos

The initial ignorance of how to make a hammock at home, few people stop from attempts to sew or weave. The spirit of adventurism is too strong in this and the desire to feel like a real Indian.

For sewing lovers - a hammock of a fabric

Even if you do not have any sewing skills, then cope with the task. For a simple summer option, cut a piece of fabric with a size of 150x300 mm, adjust its edges in length and place them on sewing machine. In the width of the hammock, adjust the fabric by 5-7 cm and also position, forming a tunnel. Frame ready! It remains only to decide how the slings will be attached to it, but about it below.

Hammaka pattern

If you want to make your hanging sun bed to softer or protect it from moisture, then you need to make a special "pocket". To do this, cut the two rectangles of the tissue of the specified size. Sust them, leaving a hole (about 80-120 cm) so that inwards could be embedded with a moisture-resistant fabric or a thin soft mattress.

Fastening the sling to the tissue canvas

Wooden rails, lover or fabric loops can be used for attachment. Rakes are inserted into the resulting tunnel. Ropes are fixed on the protruding parts in advance drilled holes. They can simply be tie, but then at the ends of the rails it is necessary to provide for the presence of plugs so that the rope is not cleaved.

Fixation of a hammock cloth in re

The most popular solution is to install chalks (special rings) in fabric. The side lines of the canvas are scheduled for future holes, the distance between which is 7-10 cm. These holes are performed using a knife, screwdriver and other tools. The main thing is their correspondence to the diameter of the collapsed rings. Then install recordings. To do this, use a special tool or hammer with a bearing.

Basics of Macrame in the case - the creation of a wicker canvase

Who is familiar with the art of Macrame or wants to meet him, can try himself in a weaving hammock. You need a solid rope, wooden slats with holes or metal rings.

Braided hammock on the support

The calculation of the length of the rope is simple: the length of the web in meters is multiplied by 3 (you can 3.5, so that there is a stock) and is multiplied by the number of holes in the prepared rake. If you are using rings, instead of the quantity of holes, take into account the number from 20 to 24.

Once everything is ready, you can choose the Macrame knots for weaving hammock. Several examples below.

• Two wooden sticks long meter, 3-4 cm thick. Preference should be given to wood solid rocks;
• Durable cotton cord;
• Two iron rings with a diameter of about 10 cm;
• Stationery knife;
• with a drill.

How to calculate the length of the cord

The whole rope is cut into segments, the number of which is twice as much as the holes in the wooden plank. Each segment should be three times longer than the estimated length of the hammock itself. For example, for a hammock of 90 cm wide and 2.5 m long, 150 m of rope takes, plus 1.5 m on fastenings.

Making holes in the bar

With the total length of the wooden stick in one meter, the width of the hammock itself will be 90 cm, since the extreme holes are drilled at a distance of five centimeters from each edge. The step between the holes should be equal to five or six centimeters. It is recommended to round the edges of the holes so that the rope is not broken by friction. The diameter should be a little more thickness of two ropes.

Weave Hamak

In each hole in the wooden plank, two cord segments are inserted. From one edge, we leave 70 cm rope. From the other edge, we begin to weave the nodes. There are many ways to create a hammock. We will look at the two simplest and most universal methods.

Complete the manufacture of hammock

The remaining seventy centimeters of the rope skip in the opening of the second plank. Two cords in one hole. We connect to the nodes to four end, then all ropes are tied to the metal ring, as shown in the photo. Through extreme cells pass a strong rope, it can be twine to strengthen the design.

Such a hammock can be taken with you on nature and hang it behind the trees, it is convenient to use a special frame for a hammock for giving, which can be placed in any place on the site. The stand under the hammock is metallic and wooden, it can be done or purchased in the store.

Another way to make a hammock from the rope is presented in the video below.

Hammock from hoop

The unusual version of the hammock can be made of a metal hoop. In its design, he resembles a swing that are suitable not only for the cottage, but also for the apartment, for example, you can hang them in the loggia.

• Two cuts from fabric 140 per 140 cm, the material should be durable, it will be better if it is moisture-resistant (canvas, tarpaulin, mattress tick);
• Lightning with a length of 90 cm, if there is no such length, then you can use two locks 45 cm;
• Sewing machine;
• Rape ribbon or durable rope;
• Carbine.

Strip the foundation

Two pieces of fabric add together, put the hoop on top. Draw a circle, retreating 25 cm from the edge of the hoop. The more this circle is, the deeper will be swing. And vice versa. Cut circles along the contour. In the middle of one of the circles we enhance zipper.

We sew the basis for hammock

We put two circles with the front side to each other. We sew them together on the sewing machine, after opening the zipper, to then turn out the circumference with the front side outside. To strengthen the edge, you can apply deadlock.

If you want to make a hammock more comfortable, you can put a layer of synthet between layers of fabric. The hoop can also be inserted with a soft layer and tinkering the same cloth.

So that you can consolidate the rope or tape on the hoop, four holes in the form of a semicircle are cut out of the tissue from the tissue. The edges proceed by oblique baker. The diagram below shows where it is cut holes.

Finishing stage

Through a hole with a zipper insert the hoop, the four segments of the cord or rapeseed tape are tied to it, one for each hole in the case. The length of the segments is adjusted depending on the desired height of the structure. The upper ends are conveniently fixed with a carabiner.

As a result, it turns out a stylish hammock chair, as shown in the photo.

Hammock cocoon

This hammock is also called Mexican, to make it very simple, in the folded state it takes a little space and weighs only about 1 kg.

You will need:

• Two pieces of dense, strong fabric, you can take a haze, sail or tarpaulin;
• Strong rope of 20 m long.

Measure the length of the fabric

To make a hammock suitable for the whole family, then you need to take as a basis the growth of the highest person itself, add more 60 cm. The widths of one and a half meters will be quite enough.

Stitching the foundation

Two cuts of tissue of the required length and widths stitched along the long edge. You can leave not cross-cuttings on each side, so that the synthetic melt can be inserted through them, which can be removed during washing.

Fresh rope

Wide edge to three centimeters and flash so that the peculiar tunnel remains. Through this tunnel, we do the rope. We do so on both sides.

Then wrap the tissue band around the hoop and the trick so that there is no synthetic hybecue. For convenience, fasten the cloth with pins.

Put the hoop to the middle of a large piece of fabric and cut the circle, the diameter of which should be 20-25 cm more than the diameter of the hoop. Cut on a fabric blank small symmetrical notches with four Sides. They are needed in order to be a place for hammock suspension.

The hoop must be located exactly in the center of the circle of the fabric. Lightly stretch it under the hoop, adjust and very firmly enter the hoop.

In those places where there were notes on the fabric, the hoop will be visible. Count to this hole belt and squeeze so that a loop formed around the hoop. In the same way, the trick three more belt.

• needle or sewing machine;

How to do

With the help of a drill, do in two thick reckons of the holes on both sides at a distance of about 9 cm from the ends of the rail. The diameter of the holes should be such that they can insert thin rails.

After 5 cm from these holes, do another one hole slightly smaller diameter. Rope will be inserted there. Insert thin rails into wide holes on thick rails and secure nails or screws.

In width, the fabric should fit between small holes for ropes, and its length should be greater than the length of the prepared wooden design. Firstly, the fabric will need to be bending, and secondly, she should slightly sign, so that in the chair it was possible to sit down.

Wrap the narrow side of the fabric around the thick rails and the trick manually or on the typewriter. Insert a hammock at the free holes in a short rope and make each of them a durable knot near the rail. In the same way, tie two long rings to the bottom rake.

Then lend all four rings to the third thick rail. Do one more two holes for ropes in it, insert it, tie and hang the chair for some hook or a thick thread.

• 16 wicker cords with a length of 8-9 m.

How to do

Make the exact same wooden frame as for a hammock chair from the fabric. You can immediately bind a rope to it and connect with the third rail to which the framework will be suspended. This is also done in the same way as in the previous method.

But the seat itself will be woven from the cords. Fold each of them in half and tie a hammock to the upper rail (if you immediately joined the design with the third rail, then the rack you need will be in the middle). Then you can weave the chair as well as the usual hammock made in the Macrame technique. But you can make a more original pattern.

When you give all cords to the rail, you will get 32 \u200b\u200bhanging down the cord. Take four of them and boil the first cord under the last.

Hunker.com.

Get the last cord under two medium and skip into the loop. To finish the node, repeat the same actions again. Then make knots from the remaining cords.

Hunker.com.

In the second row and in all parts of the rows, repeat the node, starting with the third cord from the beginning, and in odd rows from the first cord.

Hunker.com.

The whole hammock will consist of the same nodes, which alternate together in a checker order. This is how such a weaving looks:

To bind the basis for a hammock to the bottom rake, wrap around her four cord around it and make a solid knot.

The hammock is suspended in the same way as the previous one.

To make a suspended bed on the basis of a nodule weaving, you will need to be patient. However, the time spent and the strength is worth it, the resulting hammock will be spacious, convenient, environmentally friendly, transported and necessarily unique. After all, the dimensions, the method of weaving, the materials each chooses on their own.

Rods for hammock: from A to Z

You can weigh a hammock macrame from a variety of materials: linen, cotton, hemp and sisal ropes are suitable. Homemade craftsmen often use linen or curtain cord.

• Well-twisted threads are well suited to work: nodes of them are clear, relief, the product is not deformed. Weak twisted dysfast threads are dragging, the associated nodes have an inexpressive texture - the pile "blurs" it.
• To get a beautiful pattern with an expressive texture, choose a cord with a round cross section.
• Weave any of the tough, rough rope is quite difficult, the work may not be the most pleasant. Take care of the presence of fine knitted gloves, knitting nodes are much easier in them.
• Do not use the thread with a slippery surface (containing synthetics), the nodes from this material are unleashed, you have to make more effort.

In the case of applying uneven coarse threads, the hand-woven bed can look not as good as in the picture. If it annoys your aesthetic feelings, consolidate it, and the defects of the threads will become less noticeable. This is done like this: the product is placed in the involving side up on a soft litter, covered with 2-3 layers of wet gauze and is applied with a hot iron so as not to deform the nodes. After drying gauze grid, you need to dry.

A braided hammock can be washed by observing caution, but you can not unscrew. After washing, it should be wrapped in a cloth to remove excess moisture, then dry a little, whether to deal, and then stroke the hot iron through a wet gauze.

Calculation of consumption of material

Make the exact calculation of the required thread length is difficult. Its flow depends on the size of the product, the use of certain nodes and patterns, textures and thickness of the threads, the individual style of the wizard (the degree of tightening of the nodes in each of each). Finished hammocks, woven one-sample variety, have different lengths and widths. Therefore, the calculation of the product should be performed with a margin. The thread attached to the base should be 4 times longer than the dimensions of the finished product.

When tying a thread to the base, it is twice. The length of the thread, respectively, should double and become 8 times longer than the planned product. If the grid is created from individual elements, the calculation of the length of the threads is made separately.

Rope consumption also depends on the magnitude of the cells. What they are the biggest, the smaller the threads need, but any grid is deformed with time. The less high-quality material, the more it stretches, take into account this consideration.

Most often, the suspended grids weave the Bulin node (triangular) due to its reliability. If a kapron thread is used, its thickness must be at least 6 mm, the more subtle will not withstand the test for strength to be strengthened. When you pass the excessive strength, the product will resemble a volleyball net. Yes, the rope with a thickness of 10 mm will be guaranteed strong, but the appearance of such a hammock will be unsightly.

Calculation option: Suspension mesh 180x70 cm with diamond cells 40x80 mm (cell diameter is 65 mm). Weaving will be performed by the Bulign node. It will take 40 ropes of 5 m long, total consumption - 200 m.

Do not hurry at once at reading this material and the execution of the calculations to weave the suspended bed, whatever the "golden" hands you have possessed. We recommend performing test weaving at least 8 ropes. Such an approach will definitely open several unaccounted little things and will allow it better to prepare for this work.

Take 8 segments of a simple rope of 2 meters long, something for a wooden basis and try to make different nodes with the characteristic cell size. Deciding with the selected knot and diameter of the cells, glow the grid along the entire length of the rods. Then measure the size of the test product and recalculate the consumption of materials for the planned structure.

When you get the rope from which you are going to weave the network, test the consumption of materials for the second time. Take 2 cuts of 10 meters long, grab them a round wooden rod, receiving 4 five-meter threads. Glowing them, leaving 25 cm at the ends to secure, dim the product and adjust the calculations. Nothing can be done, with a piece production, accuracy is achieved only by experienced by.

Set of rows

Usually, on the edges of the grid threads are attached to the wooden rods, but they can be reduced into angle for capturing for a metal ring (it will be written below). The ends of the ropes from which they start work are called a set side. In practice, not one way of fastening the threads, consider the 4 most common ones.

Method 1: Horizontal jumper loops on the front side

1. The thread is folded in half, falls on a wooden stalk of the loop up.
2. The loop goes back and start under the rod.
3. In the resulting loop, both ends are tightened and are delayed.

Method 2: Cross-plane

1. The rope is folded in half, falls under the wooden base of the loop up.
2. The thread folded in the ring bend forward and starts over the rod.
3. Both ends are completed in the created loop and are delayed.

Method 3: double jamming (extended or stretched fastening)

The crossbar remained on the wrong. A set of a row, made in this way, is more damped, through it does not shine a wooden stalk.

1. Folded in half the thread is fixed in method No. 2.
2. Each end (separately) is performed on one twist.
3. The reinforced base of the thread is pulled out over the loop formed from below.

Fastening to the cutting will be even more denser if each end to make a larger number of turns. The same set of series can be made so that the bends of the nodes will be on the front side, but this solution looks less neat.

Method 4: Attaching to the rod of only one end of the thread

1. The top end of the thread end the thread is fixed at a distance of 2-3 cm from it.
2. The lower end of the thread is based on the basis of the right of the top, then, turning it, makes the turn; Thread is drawn down.
3. The next round is performed to the left of the upper end, the operation is repeated mirror. After tightening it, the knot is ready.

When using threads of different color or different lengths, several fastening methods can be used. For example, initially hang one rope method No. 3, not forgetting to leave the gap in the middle of the attachment. Then, in the left, the second thread method No. 2 is tied.

Mind in corner

Factory products are distinguished by note on the ends of the threads in the ring. It looks quite attractive, but many masters, going to weave the hammock-macrame with their own hands, refuse this idea. Why? The fact is that the angle (the so-called constructive solution applied) is difficult to blame.

Another consideration that affects the refusal of this idea is the increased density of the angle. Fold compactly such a product will not work, consider. But for those who still want to reduce the effects of all threads in the ring, the detailed procedure is proposed below.

To weave the angle, you need to have 20 ends of the rope (10 threads), which will eventually be attached to the mesh body. The length of the threads is the same; Disabled from the corner, they make up a flat line. Estimated 10 threads, folded twice, will look like 20 threads of 150 cm. After weaving, it will turn out about 40 cm from the crossbar to the top point of the triangle.

Any action performed for the first time - the experiment. Therefore, take a thread somewhat longer, because it's easier to trim anything.

Weaving schemes

Make a hammock-macrame with your own hands right as the trade is implemented, i.e. just throw the threads. Weaving will go very quickly, because the nodes will not need to tie. The first time to lie in it will be comfortable, nothing is pressed into the body. However, cells will be unstable, easily changing their size, with the prospect of formation of rush.

There will no effort and weaving flat nodes (degenerate square nodes). Rope consumption will not be much larger, the size of the cells is easy to correct. However, this mesh cannot be overloaded, it is not necessary to frolic in it: the likelihood of the assembly of the node is large.

The exact opposite of the peroxide threads will be a square node (double flat knot). Nodes will be on the sight, firmly fixed, flat, with the possibility of editing cell size during the need. However, the thing will be sufficiently heavy (this is the most stable method), such a hammock is clearly not for the campaign.

Another node, which traditionally knit networks, deserves attention. This is Bulin (triangular knot). Cells do not tend to change the size, the rope consumption is medium, the weight of the product allows you to take it on the road. However, we will determine such a node - a time-consuming task, the sizes of cells to fix with the need difficult. In addition, with one side of the nodes are acute.

Strengthening sides

Tied the suspended grid, do not forget to strengthen its longitudinal edges. Without this measure, the hammock will not be able to withstand the maximum load when landing into it and getting up. The strapping is carried out from the same material that consumed on the "body" of the grid, or from the more dense. On the weaving of 1 meter of the sidewall, it will take about 5.5 m of ropes.

If the arrangement of the hammock is applied to the angle, the number of threads necessarily takes a multiple 4 (2 threads are attached for 1 thread of the angle). The angle, in turn, is formed by the number of rods. In addition, you must not forget that side ropes also require reliable fixation. In practice, 2 options for solving this issue are applied, the schematic drawing, located below, clarifies it in detail.

On the left figure, the side threads are fixed on the transverse bar separately, the number of threads that went to the suspended network, more than 4 (for example, 40). The mesh is shown in the figure on the right, the sidewalls are combined with extreme threads.

Mounting hammock on site

Usually the suspension bed in nature is fixed to the trees. If there are no subtle trunks nearby (diameter less than 15 cm), the following rules are chosen when selecting a place to fasten the product following the following rule: the total length of the mesh add 0.3 m and the desired distance between the trees is added. For example, if a hammock is 2.7 m long, it is desirable between the trees (supports) to be 3 m.

In the event that the distance is less, the grid is suspended above. In addition, consider its likely stretching during operation. If the bed is suspended to the columns, it is convenient to apply hooks with thread for fixing. Consider the following consideration: the greater the hook, the more reliably the product consists. Muffle the hook follows the line to the direction, this approach will lower the load on the metal.

Pendant a wicker bed can be in the urban apartment, if available:

• perforator;
• 2 anchor bolts 10x60 mm;
• drills for concrete with a diameter of 5 mm;
• drills for concrete with a diameter of 10 mm;
• ropes for fastening (if necessary);
• passatizhey, hammer, pencil.

The order of work is as follows:

1. Choosing a place, markup. The width of the room is not less than 3 m, with an increase in size more than 4 m for reliable fixation, additional rings will be required.
2. Performing holes initially drill a smaller diameter, then large.
3. Removing concrete crumbs from the resulting excavation.
4. Installing anchor bolt. If necessary, the hammer is used.
5. Tightening nut clockwise (hook at the same time sticks with pliers). You need to make maximum effort.
6. Wedding rope on the hook, the zero-off site.
7. Capturing a hook from hammock for a knot on a rope.
8. Performing fasteners for the other side.

Why not make a rack?

The presence of a stand (differently, racks under the hammock) will solve the problem of preserving the bark of trees and mobility. You can make a rack from the girlfriend, its design is simple, considerable effort during assembly will not be required.

For the construction racks, you will need: wooden bars cross section 80x80, board 100x30, studs, nuts, washers, grinding machine, hacksaw or circular saw, veil, lacquer, drill, hooks.

The third version of the stand is the combination of the previous two. The main difference is to use Ukusin to prevent the rocking of the structure on the sides, which is why it is more stable. On these additional elements (drives) there is a 50x100 board, the remaining dimensions of the parts used are in the table below.

Hamamak is an excellent remedy for recreation, the history of which goes back to the distant past. It is used at home and outdoors. Resting in it is comfortable and nice. Make a hammock with your own hands using for this different materials, very easy.

general information

The history of the appearance of a hammock in Europe is associated with the name of the famous discoverer of Christopher Columbus. It is he who brings this exotic device from the Bahamas and showed it to Europeans. Bahamas residents used these wicker grids for sleep by hanging such "crackers" between trees.

Such an application of hammakov had to do with sailors who, during swimming, were laid in them to sleep in them instead of hard shelves and gender.

So spent the nights of seafarers in distant travel

Currently, hammocks can be found on panstones country houses And in comfortable apartments. A variety of these products allows you to choose the one that will meet all the requirements of the country's resident or owner of urban housing.

On the hammock you can:

• relax, relieve stress;
• sleep outdoor air, and the little child too;
• read books, spend pleasant conversations with friends or family.

Even small child can sleep in a hammock

Adults who use a hammock for recreation can make some mistakes by ignorance. Do not go to it, occupying the length of the entire design. In this case, the hammock will not give you the opportunity to breathe freely and enjoy the beauty of the surrounding nature, because it will completely overtake you. The perfect position in the hammock is diagonally, in this posture you can completely experience all the positive aspects of rest in the hammock.

Types of hammakov

These products can be classified by different parameters.

By size, hammocks are:

• family (from 180 cm wide). A hammock can be a place where all family members will be gather, to share news, discuss future plans;
• for two (width from 160 cm). In such a hammock, you can stay alone with your loved one, to conduct incessic conversations to girlfriends or talk on male father and son;
• for one (from 140 cm in width). Cozy to sit down in a hammock alone, you can enjoy peace and tranquility, read a long-term postponed book, think about sore or elementary to sleep.

Romantic mood can be felt, striking in a hammock together

Depending on the form:

• in the form of cocoons;
• round;
• suspended chairs.

Cocoons - the simplest design of this device. They weigh a little, you can easily endure and take with you on travel and hiking. Of this hammock, it is almost impossible to fall out, because they "envelop" the body and help completely relax. But for a change of posture, it is necessary to make a lot of effort, the process of climbing will also require special skills.

If you want to relax away from human eyes, you will be quite suitable for such a cocoon

Round hammocks and pendant chairs are more suitable for relaxing sitting. Often such forms are used for the construction of hammocks-swing. Having made such a model of large sizes, you can spend a good time with your friends.

Such a hammock looks like a tent, you can relax the whole company in it.

By belonging to historical homeland, hammocks are distinguished:

Separately, it is worth noting the Soviet hammocks. They were made by the way weaving from the ropes. In appearance, they practically did not differ from the nets to play volleyball.

Such a product resembles a volleyball net

Modern hammocks most often have a stand. They meet all the requirements of reliability and comfort, look stylish and fully fit into the interior of the XXI century.

Such a device Mobile, it can easily be transferred to any place

All types of hammocks can be bought, but people with skillful hands have the opportunity to make such a chair-bed independently. The product can be performed in different techniques: sew, knitting, weaving Macrame. In this case, you can use both fabrics and durable threads, ropes, old strong things (jeans, coat).

For the construction of suspended structures, it is allowed to choose the materials not so familiar to hammocks, for example, wooden pallets or awning.

How to choose a home hammock material

Choice external view A homemade hammock depends on your skills. Knowing how to sew - stop on the product from the fabric, like knitting unusual things - on Knitan, you know the basics of weaving Macrame - from the rods.

If you do not have a big difference in the way of manufacture, then we need to weigh all over and against the use of a particular material.

Product made of fabric

The advantages of a hammock from the fabric is that the solid canvas does not have any lumens, it is not blocked, you can put any small object on it, without fear that it falls and breaks or lost (for example, hours, tablet, cell phone).

The use of fabric when creating a hammock has many advantages.

Hammock from threads, cord

A hammock, connected or woven from thread, can become not only a cozy place to relax, but also an excellent decoration of the interior or landscape design. All guests who have seen such a creative structure will be delighted and will remember him for a long time.

A woven hammock from thin threads will last long, but it is almost impossible to repair it

Naturally, knitting and weaving materials should be particularly durable. It is desirable that the yarn or ropes are cotton, since it is not so comfortable to lie or sit in a hammock from synthetic material.

Choosing other materials for hammock, you must take into account:

• strength;
• aesthetic appeal;
• no negative sensations in contact.

The use of non-standard materials for creating a hammock is a great way out for those who do not know how to sew, knit or weave

In order for the product for a long time, it is necessary to sew it from durable fabric. - tarpaulter, cansins, mattress tick, bosy, camouflage canvas, denim. When using synthetic materials, you strongly risk covered with sticky then during heat, because they do not let the air. An excellent option is to use tarpaulin, jeans. For wicker hammocks, you can use various cords, jute ropes, beef.

If the hammock is supposed to be stuck or coated with anything, then the threads can be unpretentious. The same applies to the choice of material for knitting.

The number of threads used in Macrame depends on the selected nodes. All craftswomen who own such types of needlework, like knitting and macrame, can easily calculate the required amount of yarn, making a preliminary sample fragment of a small hammock.

Reliable and strong must be materials used for mounting hammock in place, so the choice of rods, cords for fastening are no less important. For the fastening of the tissue product, reflectors, special devices (anchor hooks, wooden planks) may be needed.

Preparatory work

Preparatory stages of the production of the suspended structure include the choice, the amount of the amount and purchase of the material, the preparation of the necessary tools, the creation of a weaving scheme, the pattern of the future product.

Drawing products, definition of outdoor hammock sizes without frame

A scheme of hammock made of fabric is easy. The rectangle is drawn with a function of 230 cm and 150 cm (it is necessary to leave 4-6 cm on each side for the bending). Based on this, choose the amount of fabric.

The length of the hammock should be greater the growth of the highest person of your family by 60 cm.

Using this scheme, you can hide a hammock from the fabric

If you make a hammock to Macrame, it is advisable to find a suitable weaving scheme. The drawing can be dense or mesh, it all depends on your imagination and skills.

Macrame lovers will not work to make a hammock, following these recommendations

You can knit a hammock as needles and hook. It is best to buy threads thick, durable and take the knitting needles and a hook of the corresponding thickness. You can experiment and try to associate the product from the ropes or durable cord.

Figure Each master can choose at its discretion. It is possible to associate a hammock very simple (columns with nakid or a handful viscous), and on the sides to make beautiful openwork ruffles or fringe.

The number of fabric is calculated taking into account the size of the estimated design. Better, if you do not save and take the matter with a margin. Fabric can be bought, but you can use old things, silent. The main thing is that the product is not veterinary.

What tools and fixtures are needed

The tool that will be needed to create a hammock with your own hands depends on the selected design.

For the sewage product will be needed:

• sewing machine;
• shovel or manual drill (to install support racks);
• special device for installing champs.

For weaving hammock to Macrame:

• scissors;
• tape measure;
• sewing needle;
• drill (for fastening to supports);
• shovel or manual drill;
• hammer (for mounting a wicker base to frame).

For knitting hammock:

• hook or needles;
• scissors;
• sewing needle;
• drill;
• shovel or handberry.

All tools used must be sound. Working with them, follow safety rules.

Step-by-step instruction for the manufacture of a homemade suspended hammock of fabric

You will need:

• 2.5 m (or 20-30 cm more depends on human growth) dense tissue;
• 20 chalks;
• 2 wooden bars (in the width of hammock);
• 2 large metal rings (to stretch the sling);
• 2 metal hooks (for hanging);
• 20 m thick cord.

All work consists of several steps:

1. The pattern is created, the fabric is cut.
2. The edges of the fabric are converted to a width of 5-6 cm and stand on a sewing machine throughout the perimeter of the future hammock. If the material "does not run", then you can only bend from the parties to the construction of the structure.

   

   Fabulous fabric obligatory

3. Marking on short sides for chalks (10).

   

   Marking for the position of chalks

4. The holes for champs are cut down. Use for this can be a stationery knife or small scissors.

   

   Use manicure scissors at this stage.

5. Releases are installed. At the same time, it is necessary to try not to confuse and put the front side of these metal structures on the appropriate side of the hammock.

   

   So looks like a lover from the outside

6. Holes are drilled on the same places where the records are placed. Through them stretch the cord. It is necessary to adjust the tension, skipping the cord sequentially through all the brutants and the ring.

   

   For fixing cords, you can use a special wooden frame

7. Hooks are driven into supports. Hammak can be suspended.

   

   Strong and reliable fastening - ring, put on a metal hook

The product will look finished if you add some decor elements or functional attributes.

Stitching the syntheps or putting it between two layers of the fabric, you will add comfort and comfort. You will be pleased to be in such a hammock, it will be pretty soft. Blanket, pillows will also help achieve complete relaxation.

Pillows put in hammock add comfort

The functional qualities of the hammock will be intensified if it takes pockets to this device (for storing books, glasses, bottles with cool water). For a knitted product, you can envisage removable or sewn openwork kayms, and a beautiful strip along the entire hammock can be associated with both knitting and hook.

For a hammock woven in the Macrame technique, a fringe and brushes will be appropriate. The main condition - they must be made of the same material as the product itself.

Bright, colored ribbons, woven or engaged in the product, will make it a noticeable and unique element of the interior. As decorative elements You can use large wooden beads, an excellent addition to the finished hammock will be a canvas stretched over this device that can become good protection against direct sunlight and drizzling rain.

How to fix a hammock at the cottage to the finished base

It is very important not only to make a product correctly, but also to hang it out. The optimal parameters for strengthening the hammock are:

• height 1.5 m;
• the width between the supports of 3 m.

The distance between the support racks is calculated depending on the length of the hammock, the binding values. You need to add 30 cm to the resulting value. For example, if the length of the hammock together with 2.5 m fasteners, then the supports are strengthened at a distance of 2.8 m.

We can hang a hammock:

• between two trees;
• between the walls of buildings;
• under the ceiling (if the hammock is indoors);
• with the help of specially created structures.

If there is no possibility to make a rack, and you have to use the existing supports (tree trunks, fence posts), then the hammock suspend:

• if he strongly saves, then higher;
• if it is very stretched, then lower.

How to hang a product on a tree or post

Do not fix a hammock to subtle trees. It is better to use wooden trunks with a volume of 20-30 cm for this. In order not to harm the tree, when attaching the rods around the trunk, you can put plastic cords or dense fabric.

You can use metal hooks, which are mounted in the walls of suitable buildings, but it is not worth using such a type of fastener to support.

The ideal position of the hammock after hanging is a form of a banana, it is this sacking that is considered optimal. Special frameworks can be used as a reference attachment, which are purchased in stores or make themselves.

A hammock with a frame can always be transferred from place to place.

CARE FOR PRODUCT MATERIALS

Any product that is constantly useful needs to be careful. A hammock can be washed in the car (if there are no wooden planks) or manually. The temperature of the water should not exceed 60 ° C, synthetic products are used.

Products from wool or very dense tissues can be vacuuming.

So that the hammock served longer, try to clean it in winter from the street to storage.

You can easily and quickly make a hammock yourself. The main thing is to understand the principles of the device, execution and attachment of this restroom.
