Homemade hammock
You can do such a thing yourself, but you just need to look for spare parts. The first step is to prepare the materials. They must be strong to withstand the maximum load. In this regard, it is necessary to find:
- a dense piece of fabric, mesh or other cloth;
- two wooden planks of a square shape;
- rope;
- fasteners.
Make this accessory much easier for an open table. After all, it has at least two supports to install the structure. Therefore, ordinary hooks are suitable as fasteners.
If the height of the table is 70 cm, then on one side of the hammock there is about 80-120 cm of cord. Of course, these dimensions are approximate, because a lot depends on the individual characteristics of a person.
Now it is important to decide on the parameters. If the width of the table is within 130 -150 cm, then the length hammock under the feet should be from 60 cm. The width of the accessory must be selected according to the dimensions of your feet, approximately 25-30 cm. The length of the rope is selected depending on the height of the table. In this case, it should be cut into two equal segments. Having decided on the materials, you can start the creative process:
- Prepare a piece of fabric, 70-80 cm long, and 26-31 cm wide, this already with an increase in seams. Fold over 1 cm long and stitch. On the sides, 2.5-6 cm is bent, depending on the section of the bar, and several lines are being adjusted.
- Make holes for the cords at the edges of the wooden planks (each 65 cm). Then sand the blocks well.
- It is necessary to push the strips into the formed fabric "tunnel".
- On the one hand, tie the cord into a knot.Then put on a special slider - a plate with two holes.
- Pass the cable through the second hole so that it becomes double. It is important to fasten this end to the rope by inserting it into the empty hole of the slider. Such a mechanism will serve as a height lock.
- It is worth attaching hooks to the side walls of a closed table (in the upper part) using two self-tapping screws.
- The leg hammock under the open table can be fixed on special hooks-clips. They are made in the shape of the letter "P", in which the bottom edge is slightly longer, and there is a hook at its end.
To prevent the staples from slipping on the countertop, you can glue rubber pads on them. They should make up only 30-40% of the area that is in contact with the table surface.
For those who do not like to make such crafts, manufacturers offer a ready-made version of a hammock for legs. It is made from durable softwood that can hold up to 800 kg. Also fasteners made of high quality steel. The fabric is elastic and not easily soiled, although it can be easily cleaned. The wide range of these accessories amazes customers with its variety.
