No 6. A DIY hammock chair Idea

Although, it may not suit everyone’s comfort preferences. If you’re not one of those folks and you demand a living room improvement with little maintenance that adds a dash of vacation vibes to your home, then the next highlight is for you.

Here are the simplified steps to create a DIY hammock chair:

1. Choose a suitable size hammock and adapt the fold-over measurements to your space.
2. Apply construction adhesive to the hems to create a pocket for a rail and reinforce the seat.
3. Cut two stoppers from a 6mm dowel and a 600mm rail from a 25.4mm dowel, and drill 6mm holes in the rail.
4. Thread the rail through the top fold of the hammock and insert the stoppers to hold it in place.
5. Use a hammock hanging kit to secure two hooks 500mm apart and thread the cord through the clamp hook and over the sliding lock bars.
6. Hang the hammock loops over the hooks, twist the rail so the stoppers hold against the seat, and fold down the sides to minimize bulk.
7. Place a cushion in the base to help hold the seat’s shape.

With these easy steps, you can create a comfortable and stylish hammock chair without any carpentry skills. Just make sure to use sturdy fittings and affix the seat to a structure that can bear the weight of an adult.

• Hang your hammock chair on the branch.
• Remember to use a dead or dying tree for the branch and to let the kids help for a more enjoyable experience.
