What to make of old pallets and rope

In the country you need not only to dig in the beds, but also to rest body and soul from the bustle of the city. You should try to spend as much time as possible in the fresh air, because it is so good for the skin, mental clarity and health in general. And here comes the logical question: where to do it. On a bedspread or cot is not very comfortable, and insects run over you.





A hammock is the best thing you can think of for a summer cottage. He fixed it between the trees - and you can at least sleep there, even if you ride on a swing. For children, this is unthinkable joy. Editorial "Site" tell you, how to make a hammock from pallets and rope. Very affordable and easy way.





You'll need it.

Progress of work

1. Prepare the necessary materials. Clean the pallet of dust and dirt.
   
   
   
2. Carefully separate the boards from the wooden frame. Of course, you can buy and use regular boards. But pallets are more affordable, they can even be your neighbor, and they are very acceptable.
   
   
   
3. You'll make about 20 boards. Determine the width of the future hammock and fit all the workpieces to the desired size with a saw. If you have a circular saw, that's great. Remove all the roughness from the boards with sandpaper.
   
   
   
4. Mark a drill hole on the board. Make sure the distance between the points is equal. From the edge should retreat 2-3 centimeters.
   
   
   
5. Now drilled holes on the made marks. Use the first board as a sample for the rest so you don’t make mistakes in measurements.
   
   
   
6. Now is the time for the most exciting stage. Put 2 boards next to each other and connect them with a rope as if lacing shoes, cross-cross. Make one stitch on the edge.
   
   
   
7. By analogy, add another board on the side and so on. Tighten all the knots. Treat the edges of the rope with a lighter so that they do not stall.
   
   
   
8. Since the hammock must be suspended from the tree, then drilled another 4 holes on each last or penultimate board. Stretching the rope and hanging to the tree vertically or at the desired angle.
