hanging hammock chair It is difficult to imagine a dacha without a cozy resting place. In a gazebo or a flowering garden, you can install a homemade hanging hammock. The design is so easy to do that in this matter a woman can easily do without the help of her husband. Of course, thick fabric, frame and fasteners will become her assistants.

Within budget

In a sports store, you need to purchase a metal hoop - hula hoop, the diameter of the circle is 1 meter. For children's designs, smaller frames are selected. Also, the craftswoman will need 4 carbines and the same number of belt clips. As a canvas, take:

tapestry;
curtain fabric;
dense cotton matter.

Experts recommend using old jeans. They need to be ripped open and then sewn to make a large piece. This color scheme will be a wonderful garden decor.

In order not to be mistaken in size, it is advised to buy material with a margin, somewhere up to 2 meters. Next, several simple operations are carried out.

Working with the frame

Strips are cut from the padding polyester - 1.5 m long, and 20 cm wide. The material is wrapped in a hoop. With the help of threads, the seal is fixed so that after that it is convenient to work with it.

Since the diameter of the circle is 1 m, the fabrics are measured at 1.8 m. Of these, 25 cm (on each side) are needed so that the dome sags a little and is not too tight. The rest of the stock falls on the formation of the rim in the hanging hammock. For him, a strip of 3 m is cut out, with a thickness of 20 cm. An unsightly synthetic winterizer is closed with this canvas. One side is folded over so that the edge is not visible, and fit over the second part. With a thin thread to match the fabric, lay a seam with small stitches.

Before stitching, secure the connection with pins. The interval between steps is 15-20 cm.

Assembling the structure

The hula hoop is placed in the center of the canvas. Then a circle is drawn. Measure 20 cm from the edge of the hoop and cut it off. At 4 corners, cuts are made in the form of a crescent. There will be bindings in these places. You do not need to sew them together.

Further, from four sides, between the holes, the fabric is pulled under the hoop, as if capturing the frame in the jaw, and attached with pins. The stitching is made of synthetic, dense threads. Walking back and forth is advised several times. For the construction of slings, the hostess will need:

8 m of belt (cut into 4 even pieces);
four construction or sports carbines;
clamps for tension adjustment.

One end of the rope is attached to the metal base, and the other to the carabiners. Alternatively, the belt is threaded through the ring of the fastener and then sewn to the retainer. To suspended hammock became a comfortable resting place, the slings are fixed on the support, keeping a distance of 40 cm. As a result, such a swing will be a favorite place for the family.
