How to Make Hammock

    • 1). Measure and cut the fabric. Your fabric should be between three and four feet wide, and at least two feet longer than the height of the tallest person you expect to use the hammock. A good baseline is 42 inches wide by eight feet long.

    • 2). Along the entire length, fold the fabric over one half-inch, and then fold it over another half-inch, so the cut edge is tucked inside a double fold. Then sew along the entire seam. Do this for both sides of the fabric.

    • 3). Along the entire width, fold the fabric over one half-inch, and then fold it over another two to three inches. Then sew along the entire seam. Do this for both ends of the fabric.

    • 4). Cut your rope into two equal pieces. Thread one piece through the two- to three-inch loop you sewed in one end of the fabric. Thread the other rope through the loop at the other end of the fabric.

    • 5). Find a suitable spot to hang your hammock with two supports (such as trees or poles) ten feet or more apart. Tie one rope securely to one support, and then tie the other rope to the other support. Be sure the hammock is low enough to enter and exit comfortably, but high enough to swing freely even while occupied.
