I love hammocks so I wanted to try and sleep in one indoors. I live in an apartment but opening the big window makes it almost like sleeping outside.
TOOLS
- Router with chamfer bit
- Drill
- Jig Saw
SUPPLIES
- Wood - preferably some hard/durable type. I used oak: 4x 50mm*120mm*18mm
- 2 Metal pins (I cut two screws)
- 8 Screws + raw plugs (depending on your wall - I have brick walls)
- Finish - I used kitchen table oil
- Rope
- Hammock
NOTES
- Wood: Only make the inner hole as wide as needed for the rope to fit. I wasn't sure what rope I wanted to use so mine is wider than needed. Obviously narrower = more strength.
- Metal pins: Use proper pins if you have them. If you cut some from screws like I did then make sure to use fairly big screws (mine have 4mm diameter) that are long enough so you only use the unthreaded part.
- Studs: I have brick walls so spreading out the screws as much as possible was ideal. If you have studs then I'd recommend using 2 screws instead of 4 and aim for the centre of the stud. The screws should be as long as possible and you might want to test somewhere else if you need to drill a small pilot hole or not.
- Concrete: I'd probably use 2 long expansion screws/bolts instead of 4 screws.
Step 1: Cut + Glue
- Drill, cut and mill (sorry - I didn't take any pictures of the actual process but it's a simple build:)
- I recommend drilling, sawing and milling the inner holes first as it's easier to handle the router when you have a bigger surface.
- Notice that the grove for the metal pins is cut in the back plate.
- Cut the metal pins in the right length
- I didn't have any metal pins lying around so I cut two screws instead using only the unthreaded part.
- Glue together the plates (remember the pins)
Step 2: Apply Finish and Mount It on the Walls
