I have wanted to make a hammock for a long time, but the jigs and the weaving seemed like an insane amount of work. So I looked around, found what I could for materials, built something and got my daughter to try it out... :)

Actually this hammock was tailor made for her size. The ends are 3/4 in. PVC pipe, salvaged from a fish nursery overhaul. The netting is garden deer fencing i believe, thrown out by someone who got it from someone 10 years ago... The sides of the netting are reinforced by starter cord, not sure what gauge. And the rest is knotty.

Will post an instructional soon...
