Instructions

Difficulty: Easy

Things You’ll Need:

• 6 to 8 feet of 60-inch wide fabric
• 2 pieces of thick rope cut 5 to 10 feet long

1. Gather the end of the fabric. Use a fabric of your choice that is either as thin as a sheet or as thick as woven curtains. The length of the fabric depends on your height. For people around 5-feet tall, use 6 feet of fabric. Add a foot of fabric to your height to determine the length of the fabric.
2. Tie the end of the fabric into a knot. Stretch the fabric to make sure that it is tight.
3. Tie one piece of rope around the inside of the knot. A large knot works the best but any knot works as long as it is tight.
4. Repeat the above steps for the other side of the hammock.
5. Find two sturdy poles or trees close enough together to hang the hammock but far enough apart that the hammock is not cramped.
6. Tie ropes around the tree or pole about 2 to 3 feet off the ground. Tighten the ropes and stretch out the hammock.
7. Jump in and relax.
